Singer Hwang Yoon-sung, with the cry “I want to cause a ruckus just once,” unleashed the condensed ‘exuberance’ and ‘flair’ of his seven years as an entertainer with ‘Nalli Blues’.
On the first-round finals ‘Hit Song Mission’ aired on the 6th for the MBN trot audition ‘Nameless Legend - Ranking War of Trot Men’ (hereinafter ‘Nameless Legend’), Hwang Yoon-sung took the stage and performed ‘Nalli Blues’, composed by Gong Chansu.
That day, Hwang said, “I think the melody should be easy and have a lot of repetition,” naming broad appeal as the most important point. After analyzing numerous songs, he chose ‘Nalli Blues’ and, with the resolve “I hope the three minutes watching my stage will be the happiest,” took the stage.

Raves from the Top Pro panel continued. Namjin said, “For a singer, the bond with a song is important. If that bond does not connect, you cannot score a hit even in 10 years,” adding, “Hwang Yoon-sung sang ‘Nalli Blues’ entirely in his own color. I really think it will cause a ruckus.” Yang Se-hyung quipped, “You would hit the jackpot even if you only did half the nationwide events. Congratulations in advance on becoming rich,” bringing laughter, and Lim Han-byul said, “Choosing what you do well is also a skill, and so is delivering a song that fits you perfectly like the outfit you wore today,” adding, “Every time I watch your stage, I can feel you giving your all as if it were the last, and it is moving.”
Composer Gong Chansu also said, “The key was high and you even had to dance, so it must have been tough, but you handled it very well,” expressing affection by adding, “From here on, let us raise a ruckus with ‘Nalli Blues’ together.” Hwang Yoon-sung recorded 495 points from the Top Pro panel to settle in the upper ranks, and, with the addition of choices from the National Pro panel, rose to third place in the first-round finals with 799 points, emerging as a powerful contender for the win.
