Legendary entertainer Lee Kyung-kyu later made a guest appearance to mentor the group. Cheon absorbed the comic master’s insights and brought laughter with his perfectly timed reactions. During Lee’s beloved karaoke segment, Cheon performed Mona Lisa, turning up the heat with passion and confidence, easily surpassing the target score of 90 points and stealing the spotlight.

Cheon took his talents international as he flew to Japan to celebrate the finals of Mr. Trot Japan. Teaming up with fellow trot artists Kim Yong-bin, Son Bin-ah, and Choi Jae-myung, the group delivered an impressive performance of Memories of Glass, blending powerful vocals and polished choreography that proudly showcased the essence of K-Trot to a global audience.

The journey of Cheon Rok-dam, who emerged from Mr. Trot 3 as a “Trot Newborn” and finished as the “Beauty (美)” finalist, marks the birth of a new trot star. His unique musical color and heartfelt delivery continue to enamor fans around the world.
