On the January 29th episode of SBS’s ‘1000 Songs Challenge‘,TEEN TOP surprised the audience by perfectly singing Big Bang‘s “Sunset Glow“.
As if they prepared in advance, the boys confidently sang, rapped and danced to the song, but failed to advance to the next level.

With a score of ’90′, a puzzled MC Jang Yoon Jung commented that they should’ve received a higher score.

MC Lee Hwi Jae replied, “You must really love TEEN TOP”, to which she responded, “I really like them, real(ly)”.
