The two singers were asked to perform a solo and a duet. JK Kim Dong Wook performed “Caruso” and collaborated with Kim Soo Yeon for “Time to Say Goodbye.” Tei chose “Non ti Scordar di Me” for his solo track and “God Father” as his duet with mentor Seo Jung Hak.
In the end, it was Tei that was victorious with the honor of winning first place. Tei stated, “Thank you so much. It feels like such a long time since I’ve received such an honor… I hope that I’ve repaid some of the love that I’ve received from all of my fans.”
Although he didn’t shed tears, his eyes did become red as he was overtaken with the emotions he’s gone through for the past two months. As the winner, Tei received the special opportunity to work with the London Philharmonic Orchestra for a special album.
Following the success of the first season, “Opera Star 2011″ will continue on with a second season.

Honey Lee turned heads by wearing a very revealing dress for the latest episode of “Opera Star 11“.
On April 16th, the Miss Korea star stepped onto the red carpet with a sexy one shoulder dress that had a very high-thigh cut. Because of the high cut, she got to show off her gorgeous legs, and draw attention to her figure.
Some people thought the dress revealed too much skin, hence the photo’s uploaded title, “Cut A Little Too Much.” What do you think?

The day before on April 15th, an official from tvN revealed, “To support CSJH’s Sunday, who revealed her hidden skills and talents as well as her surprising growth during the 2nd round of ‘Opera Star’, her SNSD hoobaes (juniors), Yoona and Sunny, will be making a direct appearance.”
Unfortunately, during the recording on the 16th, despite the support from the girls, Sunday was eliminated from the competition. Sunday and singer Moon Hee Ok ended up in the bottom two, and the judges chose to keep Moon Hee Ok alive for another week – sending Sunday home.
Despite being eliminated, Sunday kept her spirits high as she stated, “Even in the future, I want to learn classical and opera singing. I think this was a really great opportunity.”
Tei was the winner for the second week running.

Jewelry’s Kim Eun Jung had been eliminated in the pilot episode, leaving seven contestants - JK Kim Dong Wook, DJ DOC’s Kim Chang Ryeol, Moon Hee Ok, Shin Hae Chul, CSJH’s Sunday, Lim Jung Hee, and Tei.
Tei performed a rendition of E. De Curtis’s “Non ti Scordar di Me“, which not only earned him a standing ovation from the audience, but praise from the judges as well. They said, “Tei is born with a tenor’s voice”and “I can feel an Italian’s blood running through you. You were full of expressive emotions.”
Before his performance, Tei had aroused the curiosity of the audience by commenting, “I used to have a childhood friend that I’d not only eat meals with, but with movies and spend a lot of time together with. I still wonder sometimes whether that friend still thinks of me, and I think I’ll be able to sing this song with that heart in mind.”
Upon winning, he joyously stated, “I feel great. So this is what winning feels like!” Second to be eliminated was Shin Hae Chul.
