The songs will be officially released as a single, and will be given the copyright that is protected by the Korean Law, and the copyright will be maintained for the next 70 years. To ensure for the contestants to earn the royalty, the broadcasting company, SBS, will register the contestants to the Federation of Korean Music Performers, where they will automatically given the privilege of a singer. The winning duo will earn $10,000 (Ten thousand dollars) for every win, with a maximum of five wins.

The 7 contestants will face the preliminary round, 1:7 Match, where each singer have to choose 3 out of 7 contestants, regardless of which singer the contestants were auditioned for (For example, a contestant who auditioned for singer A can be chosen by singer B as his/her top 3). In cases that a contestant was chosen as the top 3 by both singers, the contestant will choose the singer themselves. The contestants who doesn't get chosen from both singers will be eliminated. The remaining contestants (for each singer) will go into the standard 1:3 Random Competition, where in the end the last remaining contestant will be his/her Fantastic Duo.

1:7 Match
All 7 contestants were revealed, either those who auditioned for the singer, the other singer, or the fan favorites from Season 1, will face the 1:7 Match.

1:5 Match
