Masters[edit]

The two masters were joined to this program for the first round, semifinal, and the final round. They are Han Seong-ho (founder and chairman of FNC Entertainment) and Sharam Q's Hatake.[2]

Producers' Casting[edit]

Procedure
  • Each producer(s) can cast by pressing the choice button while the contestant sings and plays. However, producer(s) must make their choice before the performance ends. If multiple producers select a contestant, the choice remains with him.
  • For one-on-one instrument battle, each contestant plays a song of his choice, then he does the freestyle performance. Producer(s) can only select one of both contestants.
  • The contestant selected by the producer will join the first tier producer camp, and will be managed and made by the top 1% in the next round. Contestants who haven't been selected must prepare for the next round on their own by joining the second tier pre-camp.

Round 3: Legend Band[edit]

Episodes 8–9 were aired on February 1 and 8, 2023. This round was attended by a limited number of spectators in person.

Rules
  • The first match of this round started with the one-on-one method. Once a winner is determined, the winning band is determined to be the winner, and in the battle-royal method, subsequent bands come out one-by-one and compete as challengers to win first rank through the decisions and evaluations of the producers and audiences.
    • For example, if the band that won the first match wins all the challenger bands, it is automatically confirmed as first rank.
    • If the challenger bands win over the former winner's band, the challenger's band will go up to the winner's seat.
  • The rest of the rules are the same as the previous round.
