Five aspiring boy-band members from the UK, a house in Seoul’s popular Itaewon district, and training at one of Korea’s leading K-pop talent agencies – this is the recipe offered up by Made in Korea: The K-Pop experience, a new BBC reality show.
The show charts the journey of a group of young men aged between 19 and 23 through a strict, 100-day training process, leading to their debut as a band called Dear Alice.
Made in Korea taps into global interest in K-pop and curiosity around the industry model that has generated a large number of shiny, attractive and highly-skilled acts such as BTS, Blackpink, Seventeen and Twice.
