On the latest episode of KBS2's I Am a Singer in Germany, Suzy, ATEEZ’s Hongjoong and Jongho, Sunwoo Jung-A, Henry, and pianist Inau took viewers on a journey to Munich, Germany, as they prepared for a special busking performance.

The episode kicked off with the cast rehearsing in a studio with a German team. ATEEZ’s Hongjoong shared his initial thoughts on joining the show, saying, “At first, I was worried. It’s such a big challenge, but I thought this might be my only chance to do something like this. Jongho and I even schemed together to make it happen!”

During their first ensemble session, the group discussed song ideas. Hongjoong suggested iconic tracks like TVXQ's Hug and Hwang Chi Hoon's You in My Memory.

The conversation took an amusing turn when he mentioned his creative approach: “I even thought about bringing a harmonica.”

This impressed fellow musician Zairo, who shared, “Hongjoong is always thinking ahead. His musical ideas are really unique. The harmonica idea was just so cool!”

Meanwhile, Sunwoo Jung-A expressed her excitement, saying, “It’s thrilling to make music with people you barely know. When everything clicks, it’s such a magical moment. I can’t wait to experience that.”

The mood lightened further when Sohyang teased the group, asking, “Why not perform an ATEEZ song?” Hongjoong laughed and admitted, “Our music is a bit too intense for this setting.”

The banter escalated as Inau jumped in with an impromptu piano performance, while Henry matched his energy with a passionate violin solo.

Their playful rivalry left everyone in stitches. “It was like watching musical geniuses battle it out!” Hongjoong and Jongho joked.

Suzy joined the group later, teaming up with Jongho to rehearse Dream. Their session turned into a laughing fit when Jongho explained, “We tried to sync our timing, and when we made eye contact, it was just hilarious for no reason!”

A month later, the cast arrived in Munich, soaking in the vibrant yet serene atmosphere. Sunwoo Jung-A shared her thoughts on the city: “It’s glamorous but simple. Kind of like a hot iced Americano!”

At a restaurant, Inau surprised everyone by ordering fluently in German. Henry couldn’t resist asking the staff, “How good is his German?” The staff cheekily replied, “12 out of 10”, earning Henry’s playful approval.

The cast reflected on their upcoming busking performance, with Henry teasing, “The new members are way too relaxed. They need to be more nervous!” Jongho and Hongjoong chimed in, laughing, “It’s so chill right now. It’s hard to believe we’re actually supposed to busk soon!”

Fans are eagerly anticipating how this lively group will pull off their performance in Germany!

When the Stars Gossip is facing a tough battle as its ratings continue to decline, leaving many to wonder if it can recover.

Despite its massive 500 billion KRW budget and a year-long production process, the drama’s viewership has been steadily dropping since its premiere.

The first two episodes of the show had relatively modest ratings, with 3.3% for episode one and 3.9% for episode two.

However, the third episode, which aired on January 11th, saw a sharp drop to just 2.2%, according to Nielsen Korea.

At this rate, the drama is on the verge of falling below 1% in viewership, which would be a serious blow for the production.

The drama’s star-studded cast, featuring Gong Hyo Jin and Lee Min Ho, hasn’t been enough to stop the slide in ratings.

As the show tries to maintain its momentum, the question remains: Can When the Stars Gossip bounce back, or will its viewership continue to sink?

With such a big budget and high expectations, viewers are still holding out hope for a recovery, but the drama’s future is uncertain unless ratings start climbing.
