Lee Jae-hoon, Jung Jin-ah, intern reporter = “It was very lovely to see the trainees revealing their charms and individuality without filtering, with fresh experiences they have never experienced before their eyes.”<\/p>\n
Actress and member of the second-generation K-pop girl group ‘Girls’ Generation,’ Sooyoung worried about and cheered on juniors who challenged girl group survival at the press conference for JTBC’s ‘RU NEXT?’ held in Sangam-dong, Seoul on the 30th. <\/p>\n
Sooyoung, who will be the host of Hive Labels’ new girl group survival program ‘R U Next’, said, “As a senior, I feel old and worried about being put on the test table without even having a moment to show off my own individuality and skills. Please give us more time and watch until the end and support us.\u201d <\/p>\n
‘R U Next?’ is produced by Hive and CJ ENM JV Belief Lab. As a result, there is great interest in whether a large new girl group of Hive Labels will be born, succeeding the 4th generation K-pop signboard girl groups ‘Le Seraphim’ and ‘New Jeans’. 22 trainees from Belief Lab will participate in the survival event. Prove your potential and star quality by passing through a total of 7 gates one by one. Above all, we are focusing on the growth story.<\/p>\n
PD Lee Ye-ji emphasized, “From the planning stage, ‘Youth’ was the focus. I thought about how to show a person’s charm like a character documentary. The difference is that you can see the human charm.”

Choi Soo-young was also satisfied, saying, “It was like a growth drama to show solidarity, support, and growth together as competitors. I was proud and happy. I watch it every day as if I were watching a youth drama. I am healed and stimulated.” .<\/p>\n
Choreographer and dancer Aiki (leader of dance crew \u2018Hook\u2019), who serves as a performance mentor, said, \u201cThe performance contains a series of stories about how friends grow and overcome. The entire process until the day they debut is a performance.\u201d <\/p>\n
Lee Hyun (Midnat), who is acting as a vocal coach, said, \u201cAll the differences in the audition program are made by the participants. I thought I could show you,” he expected. <\/p>\n
As the first singer of Big Hit Music, the predecessor of Hive, Lee Hyun, who is also known as ‘Jeong Do-jeon of Hive’, participated in the audition ‘Hit It’ in 2011 to select candidates for the global super group ‘BTS’ along with Big Hit’s portal site Daum. (Hit It)’ was also on site. Lee Hyun said, “Right now, I’m in ‘RU Next,’ and I don’t know what kind of friends I’ll be (selected), but I hope to become a group that surpasses senior artists.”

Park Gyu-ri, who represents the second generation of K-pop along with Girls’ Generation, will serve as a mentor this time. The environment of the 2nd generation and the ‘Ru Next’ trainees who dream of becoming a ‘post 4th generation’ is quite different. <\/p>\n
Park Gyuri, who expressed her love for New Jeans, said, “When I was a trainee, I don’t think I received as much care as I do now. I felt that I was receiving really systematic and organized care.” \u201cWe grew up like \u2018wild horses. In addition, the standards of the public have also risen.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sooyoung also commented, “When we were there, there weren’t many references and characters that we could refer to and study. Now, the concept is diverse and there are many foreign members. Since there are many reference materials, there are fewer mistakes to make.” <\/p>\n
In 2001, Jo Kwon, who participated in the audition for SBS TV’s ‘Park Jin-young’s Gifted & Talented Development Project’ 99% Challenge and was nicknamed the ‘Audition Archeopteryx’, will also be with him as a mentor this time. He looked back, saying, “At the time, harsh words such as ‘cruel documentary’ were attached to it. It was less systematic than now. Maybe that’s why I also had the driving force to continue my trainee life for a long time.”

Voting is conducted through the fan community Weverse and the Toss app, and the production team is also focusing on fairness. <\/p>\n
PD Kim Seon-hyeong said, “Because it’s an in-house survival show, the opinions of the viewers who vote are important. Rather than preventing it in some way, we think the form of voting we receive is transparent, so there’s nothing to worry about.” It’s different from other auditions because it’s the process of selecting prep trainees to debut.” <\/p>\n
Studio Jam and Mushroom Company participate as production companies for ‘R U Next?’. Kim Jae-hwan, a former member of the project group ‘Wanna One’, also serves as a mentor. Prior to the broadcast, the theme song ‘Full Speed’ sung by Suzy from the 2.5th generation girl group ‘Miss A’ was released and became a hot topic.
\n
The first broadcast is at 8:50 p.m. It will also be broadcast simultaneously on Abema, the largest OTT platform in Japan.<\/p>\n
