According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings survey company, on the 27th, the viewership for the seventh episode of MBN's 'Legendary Men,' broadcast on the 26th (based on national pay-TV households in the 20s age group), averaged 4.2%, with a peak per-minute rating of 4.6%.

In that day's broadcast, the 'Unknown Legends' TOP7 (Sung Ri, Haru, Jang Han-byul, Hwang Yoon-sung, Jeong Yeon-ho, Lee Chang-min, and Lee Ru-ne) faced off against the 'Job Switchers 7' (Jin Si-moon, Kim Yong-pil, Park Hye-shin, Lee Seung-yoon, Shin Sung, Yoon Soo-hyun, and Choi Woo-jin) in a song battle centered on the 'God of the Workplace' special.

In the opening, MCs Jang Min-ho and Yang Se-hyung announced, "We prepared a special episode where we return to our pre-singer jobs or dreams for a showdown," showcasing outfits as a foreman and a tiler, respectively. Yang Se-hyung revealed, "My mother is still working as a tiler," adding, "If I hadn't become a comedian, I would probably still be working as a tiler." Sung Ri empathized, saying, "Tiling is really hard," recalling her own past experience working as a tiler.

Next, the 'TOP7' revealed their transformations: Sung Ri as an 'Idol by Nature,' Haru as a fruit shop youth, Jang Han-byul as a dental student, Hwang Yoon-sung as a kids' cafe teacher, Jeong Yeon-ho as an auto mechanic, Lee Chang-min as a 2AM youth, and Lee Ru-ne as an insurance planner. In response, the 'Job Switchers 7' gathered: led by Assistant Manager Jin (Jin Si-moon), former announcer Kim Yong-pil, 'Beauty Reporter' Park Hye-shin, Lee Seung-yoon famous for 'I Am a Naturalist,' versatile employee Yoon Soo-hyun, gardener Shin Sung, and hotelier Choi Woo-jin, heating up the scene. Additionally, 'Unknown Legends' Season 1 MC Kim Dae-ho made a surprise appearance on TOP7's 'Ten Thousand Scenes' stage, delivering a collaborative performance.

With Kim Dae-ho seated as part of the 'Judging Panel,' the theme for the first floor of the 'Mission Tower' was 'God of Part-time Jobs.' Haru and Choi Woo-jin took the stage. Haru, who began working at a tonkatsu restaurant at age 17 before moving to fruit shops, performed 'Green Grape Love,' radiating freshness. However, he narrowly lost to Choi Woo-jin, known as the 'Trot Wolf' who has worked from delivery jobs to hoteliering, with his song 'My Woman.' In the showdown for 'God of Management,' Shin Sung delivered a mature performance with 'Flower Petal Love,' while Lee Ru-ne skillfully performed 'I Will Live in Style,' incorporating ATEEZ's 'BAD' challenge. Especially, Lee Ru-ne's sexy 'chest pop' performance, comparable to ATEEZ's Choi San, left the in ruins, and both Sung Ri and Lee Seung-yoon joined the 'BAD' challenge, adding laughter. The result was a victory for Lee Ru-ne.

In the 'With Rhea' showdown, Sung Ri faced Jin Si-moon. Jin Si-moon confessed that during her career gap, she handled phone calls and cleaning at her agency, earning the nickname 'Assistant Manager Jin.' When asked immediately after, "Which of the TOP7 would you want to recruit?" he replied, "Sung Ri shines brightly. But her price is high," sparking laughter. Sung Ri responded to Jin Si-moon's praise by reinterpreting 'Dumb Dumb Ba' with the breath of a 'performance artisan.' However, Jin Si-moon defeated Sung Ri with deep inner strength through her rendition of 'The Pain of Waiting.'

In the 'Transfer God' mission, Kim Yong-pil took the stage, recalling his feelings when he was about to quit his announcer job for a trot competition. He admitted, "I couldn't speak well. How could I leave such a hard-won job?" Kim Dae-ho, who had similar experiences, strongly agreed with a simple "Right." Shortly after, Lee Chang-min appeared on stage performing 'Promise Is Like the Wind,' even executing a kiss performance with a female dancer. Kim Yong-pil won by singing 'Grow Old With Me,' a song composed and gifted to him by Lee Chang-min.

In the 'God of Brains' showdown, Yoon Soo-hyun and Jang Han-byul appeared. Yoon Soo-hyun took the lead by stating, "I once ranked fifth in my entire school." Jang Han-byul immediately countered, "I reached first place in my school, won awards for Olympiads, and got into a top 50 global university's dental program. Only the top 0.1% of students get in." She then performed 'Heartache' with an emotional voice, while Yoon Soo-hyun showcased fresh charm with '1,2,3,4.' After Jang Han-byul was announced as the winner, Sung Ri and Jin Si-moon sang Jin Si-moon's classic song 'Mother' as a duet, bringing tears to the audience.

In the 'God of Nature' showdown, Lee Seung-yoon conducted a courage test for selecting a 'Naturalist Intern.' At that moment, Jang Han-byul trembled in front of a box containing an unidentified creature, while Sung Ri, self-proclaimed 'Tetoman,' screamed when she touched a live octopus, filling the scene with laughter. Next, Lee Ru-ne faced Park Hye-shin in a courage battle, immediately flirting by saying, "You're beautiful," and "My ideal type is Park Hye-shin!" He then grabbed Park Hye-shin's hand from inside the box and shouted, "Correct! Delicate fingers!" creating a pink atmosphere. After laughter swept through, Lee Seung-yoon and Jeong Yeon-ho performed a song battle as 'Woodcutters,' ending with Jeong Yeon-ho's victory.

With the 'TOP7 vs Job Switchers 7' tied at 3-3, the final showdown for 'God of Words' pitted Hwang Yoon-sung against Park Hye-shin. Park Hye-shin displayed mature charm with 'Only You Are Mine to Me,' while Hwang Yoon-sung radiated freshness with 'Island Village Teacher.' Before the results were announced, Jeong Yeon-ho showcased his skillful vocal bends as 'Beloved One,' and Park Hye-shin praised him enthusiastically, saying, "I want to join your fan club." Following the result announcement, Hwang Yoon-sung won, allowing TOP7 to embrace the joy of victory and their championship gift.
