Jonathan Takes on South Korea’s Iconic Contest
Jonathan National Singing Contest appearances became the talk of the town as the popular South Korean television personality ventured into a massive new project in 2026. In the latest episode of his YouTube channel series ‘Blacks’ (EP.9) uploaded on September 1, Jonathan announced that he and his friends were preparing to audition for the legendary program held in Seoul, South Korea.
Choi Ye-na Steps In for Special Vocal Lessons
To prepare for the big stage, Jonathan initially showcased his vocals by attempting Naul’s ballad ‘Memory’, though his friends humorously rated it as too painful to listen to. Realizing he needed professional help, Jonathan turned to multi-talented star Choi Ye-na. Choi generously gave them custom lessons using her upbeat track ‘Catch Catch’, which she playfully called the ultimate song for the National Singing Contest.
The Final Stage and Viewer Reactions
At the end of the video, Jonathan and his crew finally hit the National Singing Contest stage to perform ‘Catch Catch’, though they ultimately failed to win a prize. Fans in South Korea reacted warmly to the behind-the-scenes story, leaving comments such as, “Wait, they actually learned that from the original artist?” and “So that was the backstory behind the performance!”
