MNET’s BOYS II PLANET

MNET

The highly anticipated K-pop music competition, MNET’s BOYS II PLANET, premiered with its first two episodes last week in Korea but was not available on any other global platforms until today.

Now, the popular series has expanded to stream live across 251 countries and regions via global K-pop content platform MNET Plus, starting with this week’s new episode. The series, dubbed ‘Star Creators,’ utilizes fans from around the world to help select the next great K-pop act.

The first season of BOYS PLANET launched the popular fifth-generation group, ZEROBASEONE. Now, it’s time for another group to be formed.

What is BOYS II PLANET?

Created by MNET, the South Korean reality competition survival show has 160 Asian contestants from all over the world, separating them into two planets – Planet K and Planet C. Planet K primarily has talent of Korean descent, alongside some from Japan, Thailand, the U.S., and various other countries from around the globe. Planet C consists mainly of Chinese contestants.

Several of these contestants are from K-pop and C-pop groups, but are on loan from their management company to compete and potentially join the winning group temporarily. There are also a few actors in the mix.

Each week, the contestants perform and are evaluated by judges and Star Creators (global voting). Now that it has opened up to international viewers, more people from around the world can participate in the voting.

After beginning with two separate planets – PLANET K and PLANET C, the show now continues as one unified journey toward the global K-pop debut starting this week’s episode on Thursday, 9:20 PM KST (5:20 AM PST / 8:20 AM EST).
