After more than three months of adventure, this Saturday, January 18, we will finally know the names of the two finalists of the twelfth season of the Star Academy. Last week, Marine was the first to qualify against Charles after a very intense bonus. This week, it was Ebony and Franck who fought a duel to win the last place for the decisive bonus. For their penultimate week at the castle, the students had the privilege, like their classmates the previous week, of returning home to reunite with their loved ones. They also had the pleasure of meeting an international star, Lisa from Blackpink.
