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]
