The participating groups include The New Six, 8Turn, Oneus, Younite, Cravity, Tempest, and the project team The Crew One, comprising the boy groups ATBO and Just B., with the show hosted by Taemin from SHINee.

Each group brings a unique identity and approach to the competition, with Cravity aiming to captivate audiences with their blend of creativity and gravity, while Younite's Eunsang explores personal growth and self-discovery. The show's producers aim to showcase the diverse talents of K-pop artists to a global audience, with a new format this season highlighting individual strengths through ace competitions, sparking anticipation for intense yet supportive rivalries among the participants.
