Seong-ri wraps 6-night cruise fan meeting after trot audition win, heads to Changwon concert

Seong-ri (Kim Seong-ri, 31) returned from a 6-night, 7-day cruise fan meeting and concert. She won it by taking the inaugural championship of trot audition program 무명전설-트롯 사내들의 서열전쟁.

After docking, she posted: "I got to wear a crown I couldn't wear even at the final championship, thanks to the scholars on this cruise." The win closed what she called 15 years of obscurity. Her final score was 4,784 points, drawn from real-time text voting and national participation scores. The prize money came to 100 million won.

The full prize haul runs deep: a new song release, a nationwide tour concert, the cruise she just finished, a Jeju second house, a program produced under her name, and a film production credit. (That's a lot of boxes checked for one audition win.)

Cruise done, she pointed fans to the next stop—a concert in Changwon the following day.

Seong-ri debuted in 2012 as a member of boy group K-BOYZ, from Andong, Gyeongbuk Province. She later led RAINZ as main vocal alongside Juwon-taek, Lee Ki-won, Jang Dae-hyun, Hong Eun-gi, Byun Hyun-min, and Seo Seong-hyuk. She reached the semi-finals of Voice Trot in 2020.

Her solo work started with the 2019 mini album 첫사랑, a sentimental ballad title track. She followed with My Angel, full-length 世緣 [세:연], the 2022 single 오빠가 간다, mini album 인생살이, single series 이 계절의 강을 지나 and THANKS TO, and most recently single 7 알랑가 모르겠어 in December 2025. She also held a 당신이 너무 좋아 concert at Yes24 Wonderrock Hall on June 21, 2025.
