The epic journey to find a single legend among 99 men is just two days away from its conclusion. With the TOP 10 identification numbers now revealed, excitement for the real-time voting is reaching a fever pitch!
MBN’s massive audition program ‘Unknown Legend – Trot Men’s Hierarchy War’ (hereafter ‘Unknown Legend’) will hold its grand finale live on the 13th to determine the glorious winner and the final TOP 7.
The second part of the finale on the 13th will feature the “Life’s Masterpiece Mission.” The 10 challengers, who have endured long periods of obscurity or difficult times, will deliver their sincerity through songs that reflect their own lives.
The biggest highlight of this finale is the level of viewer participation. According to the production team, a whopping 64% of the total 5,000 points—3,200 points—are allocated to public participation. This includes real-time SMS voting (2,000 points), Round 1 public voting (400 points), new song video streaming (300 points), digital music scores (300 points), and online cheering votes (200 points).
Above all, the real-time SMS vote, which carries the highest weight, is expected to be the decisive key to victory. The identification numbers for the TOP 10 revealed via ‘Unknown Legend’ official SNS are: 0 Lee Dae-hwan, 1 Kim Tae-woong, 2 Park Min-soo, 3 Lee Chang-min, 4 Jung Yeon-ho, 5 Haru, 6 Jang Han-byeol, 7 Hwang Yoon-sung, 8 Lee Ru-ne, and 9 Sung Ri.
The rankings tallied after the Round 1 “Hit Song Mission” have created extreme tension for both the TOP 10 and the viewers. While Sung Ri (859 points) leads, followed by Lee Ru-ne (800 points) and Hwang Yoon-sung (799 points), the gap between the top and the 10th place Lee Dae-hwan (749 points) is only 110 points, meaning the rankings could flip at any moment.
Reactions to the new song performance videos and music released immediately after the Round 1 broadcast are also incredibly hot and will be reflected in the final result. Videos uploaded to the ‘MBN MUSIC’ YouTube channel are showing a scary upward trend, nearing 1 million views. With some tracks entering the top 10 of the Melon Trot Daily Chart, everyone is curious to see how this digital power will act as a variable in the final outcome.
The perks for the winner are also creating a buzz. The winner of ‘Unknown Legend’ on the 13th will receive an unprecedented set of benefits: a prize of 100 million won, the release of a new song, a national tour concert, a cruise fan meeting, a second house in Jeju Island, a program produced in the winner’s name, and even a movie starring the winner.
The production team stated, “We want to be with the viewers until the moment a single legend is born among the 99 men. Since your precious vote will determine the protagonist of a new legend, we ask for your passionate support and voting until the end.”
The final episode of MBN’s ‘Unknown Legend’ can be watched live on the 13th at 9:10 PM.
