From there, they collaborated to come up with ideas for their performances and chose a movie soundtrack of the selected singer that best suited both sides. The given requirements posed challenges for the contestants, but with their love and passion for music, they managed to find their unique style for their performances alongside their chosen partners. Through dedicated rehearsals with professional consultant, the contestants put in their best efforts to complete their paired performances at the Semi-final night held on May 8th, 2023.
