After 'Top 10' nominee Kim Do Yeon made the shocking decision last week to quit the audition program 'K-Pop Star 2', an empty slot opened up for the return of a former contestant. In this week's episode, it was revealed that the lucky contestant who earned a second chance was none other than Shin Ji Hoon, who had been eliminated at the cusp of the 'Top 10' in last week's 'Battle Audition' finals.

"It was a very sudden thing, so we were all shocked," J.Y. Park, one of the judges, said. "All three of us got together and decided whom to select, and we all picked one person in a unanimous decision. The most important factor was the expectation of improvement."

Shin Ji Hoon expressed her determination for the live auditions, one of the most grueling parts of any audition program. "I'll work hard and not let you down," she said.
