'BOYS PLANET' Heads to Epic Debut Concept Battle: 24 Contestants Vie for Survival

Mnet's 'BOYS PLANET' is entering a new phase, with anticipation reaching its peak as the semi-finals approach. The show has consistently held the top spot in TV-OTT non-drama category buzz since its premiere, solidifying its status as the hottest program currently on air.

Following the survival announcement, the remaining 24 contestants are set to dive into the 'Debut Concept Battle,' their third mission. Imagining their debut, participants will craft choreography, stage direction, and production for new songs like 'Lucky MACHO,' 'Chains,' 'Sugar HIGH,' and 'MAIN DISH,' aiming to create a spectacular performance. The winning team will receive the season's ultimate benefit, further fueling the contestants' passion.

While the initial team formations were based on a new song matching mission involving approximately 400,000 star creators, the second survival announcement necessitated unavoidable team member rearrangements. With new songs and choreography to learn from scratch, contestants are fiercely competing to prove their indispensability to their respective teams. The 'Chains' team, which includes many top-ranked contestants, faces a unique situation where five members must transfer to other songs, while the 'MAIN DISH' team, with only Rihao remaining, is scrambling to recruit new members under tight time constraints.

Reports from the recent semi-final stage recording indicate that star creators were amazed by the unexpectedly high level of performance quality and explosive energy. Furthermore, a preview of the semi-final stages, partially revealed through a trailer released on the 9th, has gone viral across social media and online communities, significantly heightening viewer expectations.

'BOYS PLANET' is a survival audition program aimed at launching a K-pop boy group set to debut in 2025.

Contestant rankings are determined by votes from global fans.
