Episodes
Episode 1
On the first episode of the show, 32 high school students handpicked by the show's producers among 8,000 applicants met each other the first time.
Students in the same grade had to compete each other with freestyle rap, and the other grades got to vote on the best rapper among that grade. Then, the students voted first place in their respective grades were given the opportunity to take turns and choose their own teammates.
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.
