[MIXNINE’s First Episode①] Will YG’s Audition Program Create a Bigger Sensation than Produce 101?
[OSEN=강서정 기자] MIXNINE is about to be unveiled soon. The show has been making people curious and excited for the past few months, but now, the first ever boy group vs. girl group audition is about to begin.
JTBC’s new variety show MIXNINE is an audition program on which YG Entertainment head YANG HYUN SUK visits 70 entertainment agencies across the country to meet idol wannabes and find potential new stars for a new project group.
Even before the show began, the show has been getting a lot of media attention. This is because YANG HYUN SUK himself has visited agencies and picked the contestants. Also, top stars such as BIGBANG’s SEUNGRI and TAEYANG, CL, Zion.T, and Park Jin Young are to appear on the show as special judges.
Furthermore, MIXNINE is the first audition program made by HAN DONG CHUL, the producer of Show Me The Money, Unpretty Rapstar, and Produce 101, since he joined YG. All the audition shows created by HAN DONG CHUL became huge hits and created a big sensation. No wonder people have high expectations for MIXNINE.
At the MIXNINE showcase, YANG HYUN SUK said, “YG has participated in making MIXNINE. This is what makes MIXNINE different from any other shows. From ten years ago, I have thought about what it would be like if a SM or a JYP singer sings in YG style. I have been able to put that thought into action thanks to MIXNINE. This is why I did MIXNINE and what makes this program so different.”
It’s only natural that expectations are running high for MIXNINE, as the show is a collaboration between YANG HYUN SUK, who created the global top star boyband BIGBANG, and HAN DONG CHUL, who is known for making the best audition shows. People are wondering whether MIXNINE will become a bigger hit than Produce 101, which has swept the nation for the past two years.
IOI, who debuted through Produce 101, is disbanded now, but people are still interested in the group. Wineowon debuted after the season 2 of Produce 101, and the group has been dubbed “monster rookie”. Wineowon has taken the music industry by storm and is now incredibly popular.
Earlier on, HAN DONG CHUL announced that MIXNINE is like the season 3 of Produce 101. The name of the show is different, but people are expecting MIXNINE to create a bigger sensation than Produce 101 thanks to HAN DONG CHUL’s fascinating idea of making boy groups and girl groups compete against each other, highly talented contestants, and YANG HYUN SUK’s brilliant planning capabilities.
