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.
