Mnet 'BOYS II PLANET' once again launches the signal for the birth of global stars, true to its legacy as a leading survival program.
Set to air for the first time tomorrow (17th) and on the 18th (Friday) at 9:20 p.m., Mnet 'BOYS II PLANET' (directed by Kim Shin-young, Jung Woo-young, and Ko Jung-kyung) is generating expectations from the global fandom with an unprecedented scale and configuration, in line with its title as a 'K-POP World Scale Debut Project.' The journey involves boys who start from two different planets, K Planet and C Planet, coming together and moving towards the sun. As this journey begins, we highlighted three key points for enjoying 'BOYS II PLANET' more deeply.
#1 Which boy will ignite the hearts of global star creators?! The fun of discovering my own 'one pick.'
'BOYS II PLANET' is set to feature the largest number of participants ever, with 160 contestants, promising a scale rarely seen in survival history. The participants are alpha boys equipped with evolved K-POP DNA in all areas, including vocals, dance, and rap, raising expectations for the birth of an all-rounder alpha boy group. As they start from different environments known as K and C and head towards a single planet, the voting power of global star creators will become increasingly significant in deciding the debut team. Who will these alpha boys be that ignite the hearts of star creators who will realistically design 'the combination I created'? Attention is focused on their chosen 'one pick.'
#2 From K-POP hopefuls to seasoned professionals, a different immersion in the growth drama towards debut.
'BOYS II PLANET' focuses on how boys from different starting points grow and advance to the center of the stage. Moreover, this season, just like the expanded planets of K and C, the participants include a diverse array of experiences, from those encountering K-POP for the first time to those with debut stage experience. The efforts, conflicts, and narratives of overcoming challenges they display toward the singular goal of 'debut' are expected to provide an immersion beyond a simple competition. The judges, who have observed them closely, have previously noted, "The moment they do not give up and endure until the end is where the biggest charm lies in cheering them on as they transform into the protagonists of the stage." As they face this opportunity once more, we anticipate what twists and growth the participants of 'BOYS II PLANET' will present, looking forward to a true debut drama.
#3 'The beginning of star birth is Mnet!' Rewriting the narrative of global boy groups.
'BOYS II PLANET' is an ambitious project that consolidates the unique influence and production expertise accumulated by Mnet over 30 years as Korea's representative music channel, which began with a focus on survival programs. Mnet has opened up new horizons for survival programs while nurturing numerous stars through series like 'Superstar K', 'Planet', and 'I-LAND'. The scale of the signal song stage and the diverse contestant PR videos have already drawn intense attention within fandom, showcasing Mnet's know-how. With an evolved format and global scalability, 'BOYS II PLANET' is expected to demonstrate once again its power in star birth.
Meanwhile, 'BOYS II PLANET', which will directly debut global star creators and elevate them to the highest level, will premiere tomorrow (17th) and on the 18th (Friday) at 9:20 p.m. on Mnet.
