On November 11th, Mnet's 'Superstar K3' finally declared its winner after a long, nerve-wracking audition process. It came down to the wire for finalists Ooh La La Session and Busker Busker, but in the end, Ooh La La Session was ultimately crowned the winner. For the first round, the contestants were given the freedom to sing a song of their choice. Busker Busker performed Lee Soo Young's "I Believe", while Ooh La La Session performed Lee Sora's "I'm Happy". In the second round, the contestants were assigned songs to perform. Ooh La La Session was assigned "With You", a song composed by Park Keun Tae and Kim Do Hoon, while Busker Busker was assigned "People of Seoul", a song Jang Bum Joon had personally helped write and compose. Both teams put on phenomenal performances, receiving an explosive response from the audience members. The final vote was decided by combining the judges' votes (35%), with viewers' votes via text messaging (60%), and online votes (5%). Ooh La La Session came out on top, winning a cash prize of $440,000 USD as well as a car. Lim Yoon Tek of Ooh La La Session thanked his fellow members who've stuck by him for the past 15 years. "People have told us that we were good, but that we would never be able to come this far," he said. "I want to give the glory to our parents and everyone who has loved and supported us up until now." Maknae Park Kwang Sun added, "We put our lives on the line to be here. Every day we continued on the program was a miracle. We worked really hard, thank you so much." Park Kwang Sun is known to have donated one of his kidneys to his mother, and so this victory was all the more meaningful for his family. Kim Myung Hoon kissed his mother and promised her that he would treat her to the best things he could offer her. Park Seung Il remarked, "During the past 15 years I've spent alongside Lim Yoon Tek, so many people told me that I was immature. We were very distraught last year and became very discouraged, but through this rare opportunity, we once again confirmed that past 15 years were not in vain. I'm so grateful." Congratulations to Ooh La La Session! Source: Newsen via Nate Images credited as tagged.
