Park Hak-ki is a singer-songwriter and is known as a legend of domestic folk music. He was also known to be a friend of the late Kim Kwang-seok and is expected to play a central role among the judges in discovering folk stars.

Additionally, Kim Pil, Kim Yuna, and Kim Jong-wan, who possess brilliant vocal skills, will robustly lead the competition as judges for folk musicians this fall.
