According to a Sports Seoul report on April 22, SBS will launch a large-scale hearing program focused on men’s k-pop idols. The production team has been finalized and the filming is about to start. The show is currently scheduled for the first of August.
SBS has long been considered an electric power plant in the programming of the hearing. Through its iconic K-Pop Star series, the network has contributed to remodeling the panorama of Korean audition shows. Giants in the sector such as Boa, Yang Hyun-Suk, Park Jin-Young and Yoo Hee-Yeol participated as judges, bringing both credibility and entertainment value to the format.
K-Pop Star has discovered numerous talents now active in the K-Pop sector, including Akmu, Kwon Jin-Ah, Lee Hi, Lee Jin-Ah and Katie, consolidating SBS status as the leader in the genre of the hearing. Since then, SBS has continued to expand the format by experimenting with interactive music shows such as Fantastic Duo and The Fan, showing that auditions could evolve into participatory platforms that connect directly to the public.
SBS audition shows have constantly opened the road, not only as a phases for the launch of stars, but as bold experiments that reflect the cultural impulse of the times.
This next project should also reflect the current dynamics of the K-Pop market, the changes in Fandom culture and global trends. Returning to the hearing format, SBS is preparing to redefine the musical variety this time in a traditional and modern format. As the anticipation grows, all eyes are on how this next chapter in the inheritance of the hearing of SBS will capture the hearts of the spectators.
