The Yeongdeok County episode of KBS’s hit program 'National Singing Contest' is turning heads. An 80-something contestant’s stage, bringing Yeongdeok’s local specialties to life through dance, has become a hot topic.
Uploaded on March 18, 2026, to the official KBS Enter YouTube channel, the broadcast delivered a lineup brimming with originality and infectious energy.
The video captures dances themed after Yeongdeok’s signature products — a pine mushroom dance, a sand flounder dance, and a red snow crab dance. In particular, the contestant’s 'Maiden Farmer' performance drew major attention.
'National Singing Contest' airs every Sunday at 12:10 p.m. on KBS1, and this Yeongdeok County stop shone thanks to the passionate participation of local residents. Among the contestants was a haenyeo (female diver) who has been diving for 40 years; she performed 'Yujeong Cheonri' and earned applause with a playful penguin dance.
Beyond the specialty-themed dances, contestants of all ages showcased their unique charms, delighting the audience. As a bridge between community and culture, 'National Singing Contest' continues to enjoy steady popularity — and the Yeongdeok episode is already generating significant buzz and high expectations.
