An unprecedented 'dopamine' battle is set to unfold on SBS's music audition program, 'Our Ballad.'

In the 6th episode airing today (28th), Jeremy and Lee Ji-hoon, who were once in the same choir, will engage in fierce rivalry, heightening the audience's excitement.

In the second round, Jeremy will kick off with Yoo Jae-ha's 'Gloomy Letter,' followed by Lee Ji-hoon's rendition of Park Sang-tae's 'Like Me.' Lee Ji-hoon, dubbed the 'Kim Kwang-seok Kid,' received feedback in the previous round from audition enthusiast Cha Tae-hyun that his performance felt like an imitation of Kim Kwang-seok. He has since prepared a stage reflecting advice to find his own unique color.

However, after watching Lee Ji-hoon's performance of 'Like Me,' Cha Tae-hyun grabbed the mic and confessed, "I apologize in advance, but I'm prepared to be criticized," drawing everyone's attention. It's rumored that he candidly shared his unfiltered opinion, causing a stir.

The audience is keenly anticipating what kind of evaluation Cha Tae-hyun will give Lee Ji-hoon.

Meanwhile, former large agency trainee Kim Yoon-yi and Seoul National University student Kim Min-ah will compete with the keyword 'season.' Kim Yoon-yi will perform 015B's 'January to June,' while Kim Min-ah will sing Lee Yong's 'Forgotten Season,' both promising emotionally resonant stages.

Adding to the intrigue, one of these two contestants received a rare standing ovation from Jung Jae-hyung. Curiosity is mounting about who delivered the performance that moved Jung Jae-hyung.

'Our Ballad,' an SBS music audition program that evokes memories with timeless ballads sung by contestants with an average age of 18.2, airs tonight at 9 PM.

Fans are buzzing with anticipation for the intense competition and honest critiques, especially Cha Tae-hyun's candid feedback on Lee Ji-hoon's performance and the mention of Jung Jae-hyung's standing ovation.
