Who was the final winner?

On April 7th, tvN’s “Opera Star 2011” concluded its successful first season with the final round between finalists Tei and JK Kim Dong Wook.

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.
