Along with the energy contained in the original song, Kim Ki-tae's own scream and explosion were added to create a powerful rock spirit. In addition to this, the Samulnori team's support for Korean traditional music was added to complete an experimental and intense stage. Lee Jung-hyun praised "I like rock music, and I wanted to release an album again with this version."
Stephanie took the second stage with 'You'. Stephanie properly showed off her presence as a 'performance queen' who inherited Lee Jung-hyun's genealogy.

Chu gave an impressive performance by adding her own fresh and lively charm to the identity of Lee Jung-hyun's version 'Can I Give You?' Lovely performances like characters captivated not only Lee Jung-hyun but also the judges of masterpieces. Lee Jung-hyun "It's so cute. I wish my daughter would grow up like that" and smiled "I was surprised that he sang it more deliciously than I did." Kim Ki-tae won two consecutive games and kept the winner's seat.

Following the stage of a 13-year-old little dancer who auditioned, Jo Kwon created a new stage by incorporating ideas from the movie 'Matrix'.

Jo Kwon won 417 votes, blocking Kim Ki-tae's three-game winning streak and taking the winner's seat.
The last stage was decorated by CLOSE YOUR EYES. They transformed 'Crazy' into the lion boy concept of 'K-pop Demon Hunters (hereinafter referred to as K-Pop Demon Hunters)' into 'Lion Eyes'. CLOSE YOUR EYES, which showed a new and fresh 'Crazy' with a powerful performance, was perfectly dressed as if it were a perfect fit with a sophisticated arrangement. In addition, the stage direction and composition that seemed to have torn 'Kedeheon' increased the sense of immersion on the stage. Lee Jung-hyun "It was so new. I especially liked the arrangement of the rap part," he said with a thumbs up.
At the end of this episode, Lee Jung-hyun "I feel like I'm dreaming. Great juniors arranged my songs so well that they showed even better performances than me"I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. I was so moved and horrified the whole time."
