Mnet's global band-making survival show, 'STEAL HEART CLUB', has ramped up anticipation by revealing profile pictures of its 50 contestants. The premiere is set for October 21st at 10 PM.

On October 23rd, official social media channels released images of ten individuals for each core band position: guitar, drums, bass, vocals, and keyboard. These participants, backgrounded by a vibrant blue sky and posing with their respective instruments, immediately captured attention. They hail from diverse paths, including former school band members, indie musicians, ex-idol group members, and globally recognized influencers.

The show promises an exciting blend of unique combinations and chemistry, stemming from contestants of various nationalities, styles, and visual appeal. Their fresh, free-spirited charm and appealing looks are expected to be a significant draw for viewers.

'STEAL HEART CLUB' is a global project where individual contestants compete fiercely to form the ultimate 'Headliner Band.' This marks Mnet's ambitious expansion into band music, moving beyond its successful hip-hop and dance survival series, attracting considerable industry and fan interest.

Actress Moon Ga-young will serve as the solo MC, bringing a warm perspective to the contestants' journey. She will be joined by a director lineup of four versatile artists: Jung Yong-hwa, Lee Jang-won, Sunwoo Jung-a, and Ha Sung-woon, further heightening expectations for the creation of a new global band.

Moon Ga-young has established herself as a versatile entertainer, known for her strong acting performances in various dramas and films. Her ability to connect with audiences and her engaging screen presence make her a suitable choice for hosting. This MC role allows her to showcase a different facet of her talent beyond acting.
