Which K-pop audition survival show do you watch?
MNet's "Produce 101" and SBS's "KPOP STAR 5" seem to be the top two choices, and we will give a brief rundown for each show!
MNet is following the popularity of "Unpretty Rapstar," which finished up its second season in November 2015, with another female-oriented survival audition series "Produce 101."
The reality girl group survival show "Produce 101" has gathered, for its namesake, 101 trainees from a number of K-pop agencies. The show chronicles the 101 girls as they prepare and throw tournament style performances.
Who gets to move onto the next level of performances is often decided by the live audience who watch the performance. For instance, on "Produce 101," episode 7, which aired on Mar. 4, 2016, Kim So Hye was picked as the best dancer of her group by the audiences, although clearly the other two, Jung Chae Yeon and Joo Kyung Kyung, were better dancers.
The SBS reality survival show "KPOP STAR 5," on the other hand, features a wider range of K-pop star wannabes. Contestants are not trainees of K-pop agencies. They compose their own songs, which is nonexistent in "Produce 101." "KPOP STAR 5" also features JYP Entertainment's Park Jin Young, YG Entertainment's Yang Hyun Suk and songwriter Yoo Hee Yeol, all of whom are big names in Korean music industry. The judges decide and give explanations on who gets to move onto the next level.
Check out the scenes from "Produce 101" and "KPOP STAR 5" below.
