“The number of applicants for ‘Boys Planet’ has increased significantly compared to ‘Girls Planet’ due to the global popularity of ‘Girls Planet’ and the success of Kep1er, so the production team is also fully prepared for the program, with full faith in the passion of our applicants”, Mnet said.
With about 15 days left until the application deadline for ‘Boys Planet’, the Mnet crew mentioned helpful information for applicants. The production team emphasized: “While ‘Boys Planet’ considers the potential and star quality of applicants as important, other elements such as the charm, talent, and passion are also crucial. Therefore, applicants should make self-introduction videos that fully utilizes their own charms to improve the chance of being accepted. Moreover, since ‘Boys Planet’ aims to debut a Kpop group, it is vital for global applicants to appeal not only their singing/dance/rap skills for the K-pop genre, but also their passion for K-pop and their earnest desire to debut.”
