I Am a Singer () is a South Korean music competition television series broadcast as part of MBC's Sunday Night segment. Each week, seven seasoned Korean vocalists perform for an audience that selects one singer to be eliminated. As participants leave, new singers enter, resulting in a dynamic roster throughout the program. The inaugural season concluded in February 2012, followed by the second in May 2012, and the third wrapping up in April 2015.
Distinct from conventional singing contests, I Am a Singer spotlights well-established performers at various points in their careers, fostering performances of exceptional quality that have earned praise from critics and viewers alike.
Format
The competition unfolds in rounds, each consisting of two performance episodes: an initial preliminary stage and a final episode where elimination decisions occur. Between these are intermediate episodes showcasing rehearsals and contestant development.
Participants are notable figures representing various Korean music styles, each paired with a "manager"—typically entertainers or comedians—who provide guidance and mentorship while also contributing humor to the show.
Each competitive week starts with contestants choosing songs to interpret freely during the first performance, after which audience voting takes place without any eliminations. In the subsequent week, singers are assigned specific songs tailored to their unique styles. During this period, rehearsals and midweek preview performances allow for peer feedback. Following the final performances, the live audience votes for their top three favorites; results are disclosed privately, and the lowest-ranked singer is removed from the competition. A new contestant then enters the lineup.
Starting from Round 1, elimination is determined by averaging scores from both performances. Singers who remain for seven consecutive rounds earn graduation from the show.
