MBC ‘The No. 1s’

A new ‘catfish’ is stepping up to shake up the ‘The No. 1s’ landscape.

On the March 8 broadcast of episode 4 of MBC ‘The No. 1s’, a new tenth No. 1 singer joins out of the blue, leaving the existing contestants stunned. In particular, with a brutal ‘line-up battle’ foretold in which only the top five survive, the arrival of an ‘unprecedented catfish’ of unknown identity appears poised to become a powerful variable that will disrupt the current rankings, pushing curiosity about the main broadcast to a peak.

Spotting a mysterious empty seat at the recording that day, the No. 1 singers begin to buzz even before the start. “In a survival program, competitors should decrease as contestants are eliminated, so why do they keep increasing?”, triggering a collective backlash. In particular, one singer shakes their head, saying, “It seems like they want to drain every participant dry.”

The newly joined tenth singer exudes a formidable presence from the pre-entrance interview. With the provocative declaration, “I came to take down the incumbent No. 1, Kim Ki-tae,” he stokes the competitive spirit of the No. 1 singers.

On site, winners from various audition programs who have yet to appear are mentioned as speculation pours in about the new singer’s identity. At last, the new No. 1 who takes the stage overwhelms the venue with a shocking song choice that defies imagination.

After the performance, as rave reviews pour in, the expressions of the existing No. 1s gradually harden, and they voice mixed, subtle feelings, saying, “I cannot welcome this”, “I have nothing to say other than that I simply enjoyed it.” Who is the new No. 1 who has put the existing ones on edge? What result will he receive in his first outing? Curiosity about the main broadcast of ‘The No. 1s’ is mounting.

Meanwhile, the identity of the unprecedented ‘catfish’ that will upend the existing order will be revealed on the MBC do-or-die audition showdown ‘The No. 1s’, airing today (the 8th), Sunday at 9:10 p.m.
