Second World (Korean: 두 번째 세계) is a South Korean reality competition program created by JTBC. It premiered on JTBC on August 30, 2022, and aired for four months over a total of 10 episodes. The premise of the show involves eight female K-pop rappers competing against each other to showcase their vocal abilities. The winner was Moonbyul, with Exy finishing as runner-up.
Second World was a singing competition featuring head-to-head battles, unit performances, original re-arrangements of well-known songs and collaborations with various producers.
The show's concept revolved around the aim of showcasing the vocal abilities of rappers in K-pop groups, who are often misconceived as not being strong singers. Furthermore, the show allowed them to showcase their diverse musicality which may not have often been possible when limited to their role as rappers in their respective groups.[2]
The results hinged on judges' voting and audience participation, including global voting at the end of each episode. The finale was broadcast live on November 8, 2022 and Moonbyul was crowned the official winner through live voting.[3]
For each round, the maximum score is 1,000 points. Scoring from the 5 Voice Readers (judges) would contribute to 70% of the score, while online preliminary voting from the Global Hearers (audience) would contribute to 30% of the score. Each vote from a Voice Reader is equivalent to 100 points while winning the one-on-one match will grant the contestant an addition of 200 points, having 700 points the maximum score from Voice Readers. Global Hearer scores are based on a maximum of 300 points, wherein the contestant with the highest number of preliminary votes receiving 300 points, and the scores of the rest of contestants shall be based in proportion with the highest votes.
In the final round, all points from the four preliminary rounds shall not be counted and will be based solely on the votes for the final songs and stages. The total score would be 10,000 points, where 40% would be based from global preliminary voting and 60% would be based from live voting via text. For the preliminary votes, two out of the five contestants must be voted. For the live text voting, either the number order or the Hangul name of the artist must be submitted to count as a vote, and voting for multiple artists are allowed. However, voting on the same artist multiple times is prohibited. Points conversion will be based on ratio method from the number of votes, rounding the scores to the nearest whole number, with the total scores of all contestants would be 4,000 and 6,000 on the Global Vote Score and Real-Time Vote Score, respectively.
