Preliminary round – events
From episode 1 to episode 3 preliminary round was on air. High school students from 6 areas participated in preliminary round. Only 10 students survived in each area.
- Controversy over participant's personality: There was controversy over personality from the first episode. Jang Yong-jun was at the center of the controversy. Jang Yong-jun got compliment from mentors for showing extraordinary rap skills, especially Swings at episode 1. However the next day, his improper behavior as a student (prostitution and drinking) was widely broadcast over the media. Also, being known that he is a son of politician Jang Jae-won, he resigned from the program.
- Middle school rapper Shin Yo-chan: Although Shin Yo-chan appeared at episode 3 for a short time, he is known to have made a strong impression. He suddenly appeared in the stage and said "I came here to see which rappers are running wild in this area." He age was only 15. He showed the audience funny rap and made many people laugh out loud. At last, he announced that he would participate in another rap competition program "Show me the Money 6" and many people are looking forward to advance of his rap skill.
- Participation of Kim Dong-hyun, Mark Lee: Participation of Kim Dong-hyun, Mark Lee drew lots of interest even before "High school Rapper" was on air. Known as popular entertainers rather than a rapper, people found it interesting to evaluate their rap skills at the same condition with other rappers. Some people expected their ability were overestimated because of popularity. However, the two survived from preliminary round.
