MBN’s national team selection survival music entertainment show, ‘Hyunyeok Gawng 3,’ is entering a period of intense anticipation just a week before its premiere.

Scheduled to air its first episode on Tuesday, December 23rd, ‘Hyunyeok Gawng 3’ is a survival program featuring top-tier singers from various genres competing fiercely for a spot on the national team.

Previous seasons, Season 1 and Season 2, proved their status as a 'national entertainment program' by topping the Tuesday variety show rankings across all channels for 12 consecutive weeks and surpassing 200 million cumulative views on official videos.

This season boasts the participation of 29 formidable female artists, including Cha Ji-yeon, Solji, Kan Mi-yeon, Stephanie, and Bae Da-hae. The tension was palpable from the very first recording session as the contestants met each other for the first time. Initial confident declarations of 'devouring everyone' quickly turned into shock and disbelief as unexpected names were revealed.

Reactions like, “You said you weren’t coming!” and “What is happening?” filled the studio, perfectly capturing the atmosphere. Some contestants expressed their pressure, stating, “This concept is truly brutal,” and “The level is insurmountable.” The psychological pressure was so intense that one contestant even mentioned experiencing ‘irritable bowel syndrome.’

Adding to the excitement, the ‘Mask Girls,’ successors to the buzzworthy ‘Mask Girl’ from Season 1, appeared, causing another stir. This season features three ‘Mask Girls’ simultaneously, all hiding their identities behind intense masks and remaining silent. Contestants struggled to gather hints, asking, “Are you Ms. Geum-eun-bo-hwa?”, but their unresponsiveness only amplified the mystery.

The production team confidently stated, “There is nothing the same in this season of ‘Hyunyeok Gawng 3’ compared to previous seasons. The ‘Mask Girls’ are also a completely revamped element,” adding, “Witness a first meeting scene that will leave even Korea’s top singers in suspense.” MBN’s ‘Hyunyeok Gawng 3’ will premiere on Tuesday, December 23rd.

Netizens are buzzing with excitement over the star-studded lineup even before the show airs. Comments like, “Honestly, I got goosebumps seeing the lineup,” “Isn’t this basically an all-star game?”, and “I’m so excited to see who will become the final national representative” show high anticipation for the intense competition ahead.
