The third season of SMTM saw a number of prominent Korean hip hop figures' participation. The producers split themselves loosely along the lines of larger Korean hip hop labels, leading to "Team YG," Team Illionaire," "Team Brand New Music," and "Team YDG". Previous contestant Swings returned as a producer. The season was won by Bobby of iKON, together with his producers Dok2 and The Quiett of Team Illionaire.
