On the 5th, MBN's official YouTube channel released a teaser video for 'Legend of the Unknown,' partially unveiling the identities of the 99 contestants who will compete for the coveted throne.
The teaser video begins with the question, “Do you want to become famous?” Contestants are seen gazing up at the top of a pyramid-shaped 'ranking tower.' The voice of MC Kim Dae-ho echoes, “99 men who will rewrite the history of K-trot, who among them will ascend to the legendary throne?” adding to the tension and anticipation. Contestants, looking up at the top tier of the ranking tower, expressed their determination, saying, “I want to sit at the top, putting my life on the line.”
With the spirited chant, “Let's go up,” contestants climbed the stairs one by one, enduring the gazes of their competitors, and sat on the throne. They savored the moment of victory in advance, signaling the start of a fierce battle for the throne.
Mysterious contestants wearing white masks appeared, heightening curiosity about how their presence will affect the ranking dynamics and what new challenges the unknown singers will face.
'Legend of the Unknown' is a massive trot survival show where previously unknown singers compete for a single throne, putting everything on the line. Contestants must prove their talent, presence, star quality, and stage command in each round, leading to a relentless reshuffling of rankings.
Meanwhile, MBN's 'Legend of the Unknown - The Rank War of Trot Men' will premiere on the 25th at 9:40 PM. The show will be hosted by Jang Min-ho and Kim Dae-ho, with legendary figures from the trot world such as Nam Jin, Jo Hang-jo, Joo Hyun-mi, Shin Yoo, Kang Moon-kyung, and Son Tae-jin serving as judges. The ultimate winner is promised an unprecedented prize, including a 'house,' hinting at the intense competition to come.
