The trot audition MBN 'Mumyeongjeonseol - the ranking war among trot men' (hereafter 'Mumyeongjeonseol') released a poster of 99 contestants, announcing the arrival of new faces and foreshadowing the ranking battle of unknowns who will become legends.
On the 13th, MBN 'Mumyeongjeonseol' released the full poster of the 99 contestants and an acrostic teaser, lifting the veil surrounding the contestants. Through this poster, 'Mumyeongjeonseol' revealed the composition of 81 contestants placed on floors 1 through 3 and 18 mysterious contestants wearing masks on floors 4 and 5 among the total 99, announcing the start of the full-scale ranking war.
The released poster is arranged by floors from the first to the fifth, with contestants of higher recognition placed higher up. From the first to the third floors are 81 unknown contestants, and on the fourth and fifth floors are 18 masked contestants, intuitively showing 'Mumyeongjeonseol''s unique ranking concept divided by recognition.
In particular, the contestants placed on the first floor at the lowest recognition level are all new faces who are being exposed to the media for the first time through 'Mumyeongjeonseol.' Whether they will capture viewers through certain stages and whether they will survive the fierce ranking war to become the protagonists of a movie-like story who become legends raises expectations for the broadcast.
Conversely, the 18 contestants placed in the upper recognition tier are all hiding their identities while wearing masks. Instead of names, they have taken on various aliases such as 'SKY', 'chart comeback', 'ten-million actor', 'military idol', 'little Kim Junsu', and 'little Psy', and online speculation about their identities has already sparked a heated guessing frenzy.
Following the poster, an acrostic teaser was also released, and the charms of the 81 unknown contestants once again struck the hearts of female viewers. In the teaser, the contestants composed acrostics using their names to appeal their charms, conveying their determination with a variety of attractions from model-like visuals to voices full of masculinity.
Earlier, 'Mumyeongjeonseol' announced the arrival of new faces with a group teaser that gave a glimpse of the characters and visuals of the unknown contestants. Set against everyday spaces such as a gym, car repair shop and kitchen, the teaser stimulated excitement with a friendly atmosphere and has led to enthusiastic support for the contestants.
With all 99 contestants revealed, 'Mumyeongjeonseol' completed a judging lineup of 13 people including Nam Jin, Jo Hang Jo, Joo Hyun-mi, Shin Yu, Kang Moon-kyung, Son Tae Jin, Kim Jin-ryong, Kim Kwang-kyu, Han Chae-young, Yang Se-hyung, Hong Hyun-hee, IVY and Lim Han-byeol. Attention is focused on what kind of stories the trot audition 'Mumyeongjeonseol,' which brings together 99 contestants and 13 judges, will write going forward.
