Singer Haru, who is appearing on the MBN trot audition program Mumyeongjeonseol, is drawing attention as the view counts of his YouTube clips continue to rise.
In particular, stage videos by Haru have been gaining views at a rapid pace from the moment they are released.
In the first preliminary round, he selected ‘The Season of Mother’ and presented an emotive vocal, recording an all-top; that performance has now surpassed about 760,000 views, establishing itself as one of the representative popular videos from the program, and the ‘Younger Man’ stage he delivered in the episode 4 team round likewise showed the swagger of a trot idol and reached about 450,000 views, sustaining the high level of interest.
In the episode 5 ace round, the ‘Fate’ stage performed with Hwang Yoon-sung recorded about 190,000 views, and in the episode 6 one-on-one death match, the ‘Rain on the Windowpane’ stage has spread quickly by word of mouth since its release and is currently at about 200,000 views.
With each stage steadily drawing view counts in the hundreds of thousands, it carries added meaning as it is establishing itself as ‘long-run content’ that continues to be played not only right after broadcast but also long afterward.
Behind these consistently strong view counts across episodes is the distinct appeal unique to Haru. Alongside a refined, princely appearance, his outstanding singing ability, which combines delicate emotion, a deep timbre, and stable technique, is said to be winning over viewers. His ability to convey emotion with compelling intensity is also cited as a strength.
As each performance video spreads rapidly after broadcast, anticipation is building for what stages Haru, who is being spotlighted as a ‘next-generation trot star’, will present next.
Meanwhile, Mumyeongjeonseol airs on MBN every Wednesday at 9:40 p.m.
