The November 3 broadcast of "Show Champion" was a special episode featuring replays of old performances by artists rather than live performances. However, as per tradition, at the end of the episode, the nominees for first place were announced followed by the declaration of the winner.
The contesting artists were NCT 127 with their latest title track 'Favourite (Vampire)', aespa's 'Savage', SEVENTEEN's 'Rock With You', IU's 'Strawberry Moon' and BOL4's 'Butterfly Effect'. While all the songs were incredible in their own right, SEVENTEEN took first place, making this their 3rd music show win with 'Rock With You'.

#RockWithYou3rdWin#SEVENTEEN and CARATs are like a married couple who are unbreakable and indestructible. We overcame every challenges.

SEVENTEEN achieved this feat by garnering the largest physical album sales and through pre-voting. As such, this victory was just as much SEVENTEEN's as it was CARAT's. The precious relationship between the two has once again proved its power!
