Song Dictation: Viewers can recommend songs (and the specific parts of the songs) through a Google Form for use in the show.^[3] The cast and guest(s) have to work together to note down all the correct lyrics that was being sung in a small part of the song chosen to play. For each song, they will be given only three attempts to get all the correct lyrics. For every failed attempt, the food will be consumed by Mukbang YouTuber Small-mouthed Haetnim.

• On failing the first attempt, the amount of the food to be shared by the cast and guest(s) would be cut by half.
• On failing the second attempt, the amount of the food to be shared would be cut to only 1-2 servings.
• If they have completely failed, no food would be given.

For each attempt, a representative from the cast and guest(s) would go up and present their final answer, and if the answer is wrong, the representative gets the popcorn punishment.

On the first attempt, only the basic chances are provided, and the chances from the Chance Board can only be used on the second and third attempts. After using a chance from the chance board, the part of the song is played again. The same chance cannot be used twice in the same round. Starting episode 201, for every episode, the chances from the Chance Board that were used in Song 1 cannot be used in Song 2.

• Basic Chances (given on the first attempt):

  • Guest Hero Ball: This chance is specially for the guests of each episode, and all guests of each episode would each be entitled to one hero ball pick, either in the first song or the second song.

After the first team's success, if the remaining two teams succeeded on the same attempt, the food would be provided to both teams.
• As there would be six attempts provided, there would be no Listen Again Chance and Last Place Listen Again Chance, but each team can choose a chance of their choice on the Chance Board on every attempt beginning the second attempt, as Random Hint was already provided in the first attempt for episodes 244–245.

• After the leader gets the chance by pressing the button, the team answers all the lines in order.
• All 4 teams can choose to attempt or pass. If one team answers wrongly, they cannot answer again until the other teams have either attempted or passed.
• Boom would then reveal the number of words in each line after all teams had their first attempts, and the 4 teams listen to the part one more time. Afterwards, all 4 teams can choose to attempt or pass again, then they listen to the part one more time.
• Boom can give one word of the lyrics to the team that wins a mini game.
