Han Dong Geun aiming for his streaks of win in Duet Song Festival.

Male vocalist Han Dong Geun seems to be enjoying new stardom in his career. At the age of 23, he has been conquering many wins in the MBC Duet Song Festival 듀엣가요제 . Duet Song Festival is hosted by singer Sung Shi Kyung, queen ballad Baek Ji Young and gagman Yoo Se Yoon



Each episode features singers who are on a mission to find their best suitable singing duet partner. The singer and new duet partner will practice their songs to perform in front of 500 audience. Votes are counted in and the winner retains the throne, audience are given the chance to vote again for the pair they wanted to see perform again the next round.

Sandeul (B1A4) and his duet partner Jo Seon-young has been winning 5 times grabbing the Duet Micro title. Now the new title might be handed over to Han Dong Geun and his duet partner Choi Hyo-In. Originally Han was not in the program however when Leesang's Jung In was pregnant, she had to withdraw from the activities, Han was invited to continue her role.

Han has proven to the audience his strong low vocal skills and selection of beautiful ballads.
Together with Hyo-In who has a boyish charm and lovely voice, the two made great harmonies in every song they sung on stage.

Han and Hyo In sang first the Twenty Five, Twenty One by Jaurim gathering 452 votes from the audience. Following week, the pair gained 444 votes for their song selection Lie Lie Lie by Lee Juck. The 3rd week, the pair continued to sing powerfully winning the audience hearts with the song The Wind Blows by Lee So Ra- 436 votes.

For once SG Wannabe's Lee Seok Hoon and partner Kim Chang Soo prevented them from winning fourth time in a row with the song If You're Like Me by singer Kim Jang Hoon.
But the recent episode after the Chuseok holidays, Han and Hyo-In came back stronger with a healing theme Song of the Wind by Jo Young Pil winning the top spot of 854 points for two rounds. Lee Seok Hoon's team and Son Seung Yeon's team were also voted by audience for the coming episodes. 

Han Dong Geun's song Making a new ending for this story made history into the music charts as number one. He even started shedding weight and impressed his new fans with his brand new selection of songs. I have no doubt Han is a great male vocalist. He was also featured in MBC's The Mask King Singer as the postal vote identity. He wowed the guests panelists and audience. His famous trademark is his distinctive low goofy laugh. 
He's pretty comical at times when he talks as well. We wish Han all the best in his career!
