MIXNINE

An idol survival program, where idol groups perform and audition in a competition run by YG Entertainment.

Overview

On MIXNINE, YG Entertainment’s Yang Hyun-suk will visit management agencies across Korea to scout idol wannabes with potential and help them become stars. 400 trainees will be on the show, and in the final stage of the competition, nine male and nine female trainees will compete. They will be competing against each other as a boy group and a girl group, and the winning team will win the name of “Mix Nine”. Unlike most idol survival programs, which makes the contestants compete from the very first episode, MIXNINE will start with the stage in which the staff picks the contestants. The first half of the show will be “Enter Tour Step” and the second half “Competition Step”.
