The mega trot audition MBN's "Unnamed Legend-Trot Men's Rank War" (hereinafter referred to as "Unnamed Legend") unveiled additional judges, completing a full-spec legend lineup that transcends genres.

On the 11th, the "Unnamed Legend" released profiles of all 13 members, including newly joined judges such as Kim Jin-ryong, Kim Kwang-kyu, Han Chae-young, Yang Se-hyung, Hong Hyun-hee, Ivy, and Lim Han-byeol. Through this disclosure, a total of 13 judges' lineup was completed along with the previously announced judges Nam Jin, Jo Moon-jo, Joo Hyun-mi, Shin Yu, Kang Moon-kyung and Son Tae-jin.

The legions of judges, ranging from trot legends to actors, comedians, talented vocalists and composers, made clear the direction of the program, which focused on verifying the possibility of obscurity from various angles and raising the degree of completion beyond simple auditions. It raises expectations with a three-dimensional composition that encompasses not only singing skills but also stage control, emotional expression, entertainment sense, and production time.

First, the addition of Ivy and Lim Han-byeol adds weight to vocal expertise. Ivy is a talented diva representing South Korea, and she is drawing attention by sitting back in the trot screening table for the first time in 12 years since Mnet's "Trot X" aired in 2014. Ivy, who has continued her activities centered on the musical stage and established herself as a "show guarantee check," has been a performance powerhouse in the music industry, so she will add to the fun of watching, judging not only the singing skills of the challengers, but also their stage expressiveness and performance completeness

Lim Han-byul has been a vocal master in Mnet's representative idol audition programs "Girls Planet 999: Girls' Daejeon" and "Boyz Planet" series, building trust with accurate analysis and delicate coaching. In particular, based on his experience of training his skills by enduring 12 hours of vocal training a day when he was unknown, it is expected that he will also present a realistic mentor screening that connects the potential of challengers to actual growth.

The addition of legendary composer Kim Jin-ryong, who has penetrated the trend of Trot for decades, also raises the weight of the program. Kim Jin-ryong, who has created a national favorite song that has been loved by generations, such as Kim Soo-hee's "Southbound Train" and Jo Moon-jo's "Lies" and "If," is a representative hit maker who has recorded the lives and emotions of the public through numerous hit songs. Kim Jin-ryong is expected to present the standards of stars who can survive on the actual stage and in the public for a long time from the perspective of the producer, not just a single-shot contest through "Unknown Legend."

Actors Han Chae-young and Kim Kwang-gyu are a unique combination of judges who have experienced both acting and music. Han Chaeyoung made her debut as a singer with KBS 2TV's "Slam Dunk" project group "Unni's", right?It has created a great sensation by catching both the sound source and the buzz at the same time. Kim Kwang-kyu is also a former "second album singer" who released albums such as "Open Sesame" and "Parking Man of Love," and in JTBC's "Hot Thingers," he proved his hidden musical capabilities by singing a variety of genre vocals along with the nickname of "Freddie Kwangcury." Based on their emotional delivery and storytelling stemming from their acting experiences, the two are expected to help raise the level of immersion of unknown challengers on stage.

Yang Se-hyung and Hong Hyun-hee join in this, and they do not miss the importance of "excitement and talent" on stage. The two are former SBS 'Laughing Search' and are currently at the center of many entertainment programs. In particular, it is expected to realistically convey to unknown challengers how to survive as stars and how to breathe with the public, as he has received attention once again by winning the Rookie of the Year award more than 10 years after his debut.

In this way, a corps of judges who broke down the boundaries of genres and domains was formed, and it was made clear that "The Legend of Unknown" is a survival that trains unknown gemstones to become stars beyond simple singing competitions.

"The Legend of Unknown" made a strong impression by showing the competitive structure over the pyramid-structured "order tower" and the top single-digit throne through a 99-person studio teaser. At the same time, the presence of a masked challenger at the top of the rank tower was revealed, raising questions about its identity. In addition, group teasers set in everyday spaces naturally capture the lives and charms of challengers and reveal differentiated aspirations that narrow the distance from viewers.

The Legend of Unknown is a mega trot survival in which 99 challengers compete with each other for a single throne. MBN's mega-audition program "Unknown Legend-Trot Men's Rank War," which will open its audition prelude in 2026, will premiere at 9:40 p.m. on Wednesday, the 25th
