The production team behind the new program shared their vision for the project.
“We plan to turn the audition participant recruitment process, which is normally carried out in private until the broadcast, into a prequel program. Through this project, the next generation of K-pop hopefuls can showcase their potential to their hearts’ content before the official debut survival show. We will greet viewers with a fresh idea and challenge by delivering immersive entertainment through which viewers can also help discover hidden talents,” they said.
