After an intense first round, the results for the JTBC's survival show "Second World," where female kpop rappers become vocalists, are finally in. During the first round, the girls had to cover another performer's song, and all of them knocked it out of the park, much to the delight of their fans. There was not one bad performance, leaving many to claim all participants could have a vocal position in their respective groups.
Before the completion, "Second World" made the rules by which the performer's scores were calculated very clearly to all viewers to make the competition as transparent as possible. There will be a total of 4 rounds, and only the five artists with the highest scores will be able to make it to the final round; judging by the first-round performances, the girls will set the stage on fire every time.
The scores for each performance, for now, will break down in the following way:
"1. Each voice readers' vote is worth 100 points (judges);
2. The artist who won the 1:1 battle will have an additional 200 points (note that the girls are going up against one another in every episode);
3. Global hearer scores (Online voting through Naver NOW app) = 300 points."
The highest score an artist can get per round = 1000 points. But if the judges give one contestant 500 points, the other who went against them in the 1:1 battle gets 0 points.
The results of the 1st round are as follows:
1st place with 1000 points - MAMAMOO's Moonbyul - "Congratulations" (Day6)

Based on the first weeks' strong and impressive performances from all competitors, fans can't wait to see what the contestants have in store for them next!
If it comes down to popular vote, I think Moonbyul will be almost impossible to beat, which makes sense because… well, she’s Moonbyul, there’s no need for explanation. She earned her status. I really liked Jimin, she can do some amazing things with her voice and her lower register is just amazing, however I still feel like she hasn’t fully unleashed her full potential yet. But my favorite had to be Sua. I didn’t know her voice was so beautiful.
