This is the 1st Korean A cappella music show where the singers have to sing without instrumental accompaniment.[3][4]
Rules
Season 1
Performers are further split into 4 types: A cappella groups, Beatboxers, 4 hidden Solo Vocalists and Solo Vocalists. Each producer must pick at least 1 of each category. For pure singers, music with vocals removed (MR) can only be used in round 1. As they perform 100 Vocal Peers vote to unlock the draft wall for the producers to see the acts. The wall can only be unlocked once it reaches 70 votes. The producers can vote for the rights to mentor them.
Once the teams are assembled, each type of performers will first compete against each other from different producer's teams. Afterwards, they will compete as a team and collaborate in various stages.
