This should make for fun early Saturday evening entertainment – though many will watch on the BBC’s online service iPlayer.
Made in Korea K-pop reality show screens on BBC1
Made in Korea: The K-Pop Experience is a music experiment like no other. A collaboration between Moon&Back Media, SM Entertainment, and SM & Kakao Entertainment America, the six-part series will follow Blaise, Dexter, James, Oliver and Reese as they are put through the K-pop training process with the goal of launching Dear Alice, a new boy band on the global stage.
Cameras go behind closed doors at K-pop talent powerhouse SM Entertainment for the first time to witness the band working with the world’s greatest choreographers, singing songs from the best songwriters, and being tutored by some of the most revered experts in the K-pop business.
Each week the band’s progress is critiqued by undisputed K-pop expert, Hee Jun Yoon, the creative force behind some of the biggest K-pop bands of the last 20 years. This is the ultimate boot camp by the people who have created the world’s biggest K-pop superstars – but success is far from guaranteed.
