SBS Kpop Star began their top 10 live survival show. However, its first stage seems unsuccessful.

Viewers placed lots of interest as candidates showed great performances in the past before their live stage. Viewers commented, "It was disappointing than my expectation", "Maybe the performers were too tensed. They don't look like themselves - I can't believe that it's them", "There was no SNS vote...", and etc.

Singers on this day couldn't hide their tension awkwardness. It shouldn't be easy for them to stand up in front of 1700 people. Also, the singers sang the songs from 90s while all singer were born in 90s, and the show presented theme and stories before their talent. Young singers had surprised viewers before with contemporary songs like Adele's, Beyonce's, and Bruno Mars'.
