For those of you who love music, this variety show is perfect for you. In this variety show, the cast and guest stars are asked to guess the lyrics of a song, and if they successfully guess it, they can enjoy the provided dishes.

Although it sounds easy, there are many song lyrics that cannot be guessed due to the fast tempo of the song and the addition of sound effects to the song.
