Episodes

Episode 1

The contestants began the first round of cyphers. Each class went up and took turns, then were graded by their peers for a "first place" in each grade.

Unlike last year, there were three preliminary high school students and many high school seniors, so they were divided into groups (high school 1+ preliminary high school 1), high school 2A, and high school 3B.

  • Preliminary Class 1 and Grade 1 were combined to make a group of 8 contestants.

*Scoring Error*

During the semi-final, there was a scoring error, where the last 20 seconds of Kwon Young-hoon's performance weren't fully counted. Since he was overtaken for the last available seat in the finals, the mentors agreed that he should be allowed to advance with the other 5 contestants. His original score of 362 became 376.

Episode 8[4]

This is the final round, where each of the 6 remaining contestants has a solo stage (with or without a featuring artist).
