Source-derived summary

Super Hearer (Korean: 슈퍼히어러) is a South Korean music reality show program on tvN.

Season 1 of the show aired on tvN starting from June 16, 2019 to August 4, 2019 on Sundays at 22:40 (KST).

Synopsis

This is a music reality show program where it features a panel of 5 "Hearers" and a panel of 5 "Villains". In each episode, there will be a featured theme. The Hearers' job is to listen to the different singing voices and find the correct contestant(s) that fits the theme. On the other hand, the Villains' job is to interfere the Hearers by making them confused which in turn preventing them from getting the right answers. If the Hearers won, the prize money will be given to them, if not the prize money will be given to the 5 contestants.

Gameplay

Round 1 is to listen to all 5 contestants sing 1 song, and then in the next part, each of the 5 contestants sing for 30 seconds. The Hearers would come together to choose only 1 contestant who they believe to fit the theme. If succeeded, the Hearers win ₩1,000,000 from this round.

Round 2 is to listen to each of the remaining 4 contestants sing a part of a song or a small medley, and their real identities are shown to only the Villains and the audience.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Super Hearer” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Super, Hearer and South provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q64711598. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
