Idol Dictation Contest

''DoReMi Market'' (), also known as ''Amazing Saturday'' (), is a South Korean variety show that airs every Saturday at 19:40 (KST) on tvN. From January 17, 2022, the program is available for streaming on Viu every Monday, starting from episode 195.

Program

In each episode, a market from South Korea is featured and within it there are three types of food selected as its representatives. The cast and guest(s) have to play games and win to be able to enjoy the food. There will be a dressing theme concept for the cast and guest(s) to follow for filming of each episode.

For episodes 1–4, the program format is only three rounds of song dictation. From episode 5, the program format changed to two rounds of song dictation, with a Snack Time in between the dictation segments.

Games played

Song Dictation: Viewers can recommend songs (and the specific parts of the songs) on the show's official website for use in the show. The cast and guest(s) have to work together to note down all the correct lyrics that was being sung in a small part of the song chosen to play. For each song, they will be given only three attempts to get all the correct lyrics. For every failed attempt, the food will be consumed by Mukbang YouTuber Small-mouthed Haetnim.
* On failing the first attempt, the amount of the food to be shared by the cast and guest(s) would be cut by half.
* On failing the second attempt, the amount of the food to be shared would be cut to only 1-2 servings.
* If they have completely failed, no food would be given.
For each attempt, a representative from the cast and guest(s) would go up and present their final answer, and if the answer is wrong, the representative gets the popcorn punishment.

Chances are available for use on all three attempts, with only the basic chances on the first attempt, and the chances from the Chance Board on the second and third attempts. On the second and third attempts, after using a chance, the part of the song is played again. The same chance cannot be used twice in the same round. Starting episode 201, for every episode, the chances from the Chance Board that were used in the first round cannot be used in the second round.

* Basic Chances (given on the first attempt):
** One Shot (for the cast member(s)/guest(s) who jotted down the closest answer to the correct answer on the first listen)
** Number of words
** Song information
** Lyrics before and after the part used (in some songs, either of the two or both would not be revealed due to it being possibly a critical hint to the correct lyrics)
** Number of English words (and words from non-Korean languages) and numbers
* Other Chances:
** Listen Again Chance: The part of the song is repeated again. This chance can only be used once for every episode, either in Song 1 or Song 2. Beginning episode 148, this chance can be carried forward to the next episode if unused, leading to more times this chance can be used.
** Food Research Director's 2nd Round Food Introduction: During the first attempt of the episode's first round of song dictation, Park Na-rae deduces the snack for Snack Time and the food for the episode's second round of song dictation, based on the analysis of the episode's market introduction video. This segment is important in deciding whether to use the Listen Again Chance in the first or second round of song dictation, as it is a chance that can only be used once per episode.
** Last Place's Listen Again Chance: Similar to the Listen Again Chance, in which it can only be used once for every episode, but this chance is only for the last place in one shot on the first attempt of the song dictation. If there are two or more people who are in last place and one of them is a guest, then the guest will get the chance. If the last place is shared by the cast members, the person who has the less cumulative number of one shots will get the chance. This chance was added in episode 201.
* Chance Board (for only the second and third attempts):
** All Spaces: All the spaces for the lyrics will be shown.
** One Word: A word of the lyrics (that is requested) will be shown.
** Two Consonants: Consonants of two words of the lyrics (that are requested) will be shown. This chance was introduced in episode 54.
** Number of Wrong Words: The number of wrong words will be shown. This chance was introduced in episode 6. This chance was modified in episode 244, where the number of correct words would be shown instead.
** Slow (70%) Hearing: The song will be played at 70% of the normal playback speed. This chance was introduced in the second round in episode 46, where it temporarily replaced All Spaces. It became a fixed chance starting episode 54.
** Random Hint: In every episode, this hint provided by Boom would be randomised. This chance was introduced in episode 237, replacing Fool Fool Boom Fool.
*** Boom-casso: Boom would draw out one line of the lyrics (that is requested) in 20 seconds. (episode 237)
*** Rose of Boom Has Bloomed: In the rhythm of Red Light, Green Light, Boom reveals one line of the lyrics (that is requested) in three poses. (episode 238)
*** View View Boom View: Boom would mouth out five consecutive words of the lyrics (that are requested), and the cast members and guests would use their magnifying glasses to look at Boom's mouth shape. (episode 239)
*** No~ Boom Teeth: Boom would read out five consecutive words of the lyrics (that are requested) in a way that his teeth cannot be seen when saying out. (episode 241)
*** Shake It Boom Fool: This chance is similar to Fool Fool Boom Fool, but the difference being if Boom answers "yes" to the first question, a second question can be asked, and if Boom answers "no" to the first question, there would not be a second question asked. (episode 242)
*** Shake The Boom Butt: Boom would write out two consecutive words of the lyrics (that are requested) with his butt. (episode 243)
*** Boom Come And Go: Boom would move the pointer to and fro on the hand-drawn Chance Board with the other five chances and Fool Fool Boom Fool, and when he hears "Stop", the chance at which Boom's pointer stops at would be provided. This chance is a mandatory chance in the first attempt of the dictation on episode 244.
* Other/Discontinued Chances:
** Boom Car Service: This chance can only be used on the third attempt with limited number of uses. This is a descriptive chance, where the smooth sound of the car is played on the parts that are correctly answered, and the sound of the car crashed is played on the wrong part of the lyrics answered.
** Acting Chance: Boom acts to describe the lyrics of the song.
** Live Chance: The live version of the song used is played.
** Two Vowels: Vowels of two words of the lyrics (that are requested) will be shown. This chance has been removed as of episode 89.
** 1/5 Seconds: All the words of the lyrics are quickly shown for only 0.2 seconds. This chance was introduced in episode 89. As there is a high success rate after using this chance, starting from episode 95, after using this chance, there is no listening to the part of the song again. This chance has been removed as of episode 135, but had briefly returned for the second round in episode 192.
** Fool Fool Boom Fool: Only one question, of any content about the lyrics, can be asked to Boom, and he can only answer yes or no. This chance was introduced in episode 89. This chance was then added into the Chance Board beginning episode 201, not becoming the basic chance provided in the first attempt. This chance has been removed as of episode 237.
* One-time Chances:
** All Consonants: All consonants to the words of the lyrics were revealed. This chance was provided in the first song of episode 88.
** Half-half Hint: The consonant of one word and the spaces of only one sentence were revealed. This chance was provided in the first song of episode 143, and was suggested by Kim Dong-hyun.
** Arm Wrestling Listen Again Chance: This listen again chance would be provided to the winner of the arm wrestling match between Moon Se-yoon and KCM. This chance was provided in the first song of episode 242.

A second version of song dictation was introduced in episode 225, where it was played as a team match between two teams. Additional rules were put in place for only this version.
* The first team to get all the correct lyrics in three attempts wins the food. It would be a tie if both teams get all the correct lyrics in the same attempt.
* After the failing of the first and second attempts, in the case of the two teams wanting to use different chances, there would be a mini game played between the two teams, and the winning team can decide which chance to use for all.

A third version of song dictation was introduced in episode 244, where it was played as a team relay with three teams. Additional rules were put in place for only this version.
* The top 3 in cumulative number of one shots would be the leaders of their own teams (Key, Moon Se-yoon, Hanhae), and would each choose their team members.
* There are three lines to dictate, with each team taking one line. Each team has six attempts to note down the correct lyrics of their own line, with the team with the fewest attempts getting to eat the food first.
* As there would be six attempts provided, there would be no Listen Again Chance and Last Place Listen Again Chance, but each team can choose a chance of their choice on the Chance Board on every attempt beginning the second attempt (Random Hint was already provided in the first attempt).
