‘Superstar K’ and ‘Birth of a Great Star’ contestants collaborate as one on ‘M SoundPlex’

On August 28th, the contestants of Mnet’s ‘Superstar K‘ and MBC’s ‘Birth of a Great Star‘ came together for the very first time to perform for 300 fans at Mnet’s ‘M SoundPlex‘.
Considering the fierce competition between the two channels, the event turned quite a few heads.  In attendance were Seo In Guk, Kim Jisoo, Kim Greem, Baek Chung Gang, Lee Tae Kwon, and Jung Heeju.
Kim Jisoo began, “We may be from different broadcasting networks, but our dream is one and the same.”
The six continued, “We’re thankful to Mnet for providing such an opportunity for us.  Through this program, the six of us earned an opportunity to become friends and strengthen our bonds.  We hope to keep in contact with one another in the future and perform together.”
Mnet’s director, Shin Hyung Kwan, commented, “While working on ‘Superstar K’ for three years, I’ve debuted a lot of contestants-turned-singers.  Because of that, I know the hardships and obstacles they face in their music careers, as well as the type of help they need.  That is why I wanted to provide a stage for them to all come together.  I hope that this will be the start of many more stages for audition singers to perform on.”
The episode will broadcast on September 7th.
