Filipino singer and contestant Gwyn Dorado impressed judges again and advanced to the next round on JTBC’s Korean TV show “Sing Again 4.” 

“Sing Again 4” is a music audition TV show that gives singers a second chance to sing again on stage. 

The new season has 81 contestants, including Dorado and Kriesha Chu. 

During the first elimination round on Oct. 21, Dorado, contestant No. 59, sang the 1988 Korean song “As Time Passes” by Choe Ho Seop, an OST for the hit Korean drama “Reply 1988.” 

She garnered praise and got all the votes from the eight judges: Lim Jae-beom, Yoon Jong-shin, Baek Ji-young, Kim Eana, Kyuhyun of Super Junior, Taeyeon of Girls’ Generation, Lee Hae-ri and Code Kunst. 

In the second elimination round of the show on Nov. 4, the 40 contestants who passed the first round competed and were grouped into twos. 

Dorado was paired with contestant No. 80 Yechan against Slowly (contestant No. 27) and Jadu (contestant No. 50).
