Though for the 14 finalists, their K-Pop stardom has only just begun from the three weeks of intensive training with FNC Entertainment, home to famous Korean artistes such as CNBLUE and FT Island. The eight-part competition series will document the tough training sessions that these aspiring young talents go through. Be it dance, vocal training, group or solo performances, the third season of this popular regional talent competition promises weekly adrenaline-packed episodes as the new element of immediate contestant elimination rounds hint at the stiff competition.
Upon reaching Korea, these aspiring starlets’ performances will be judged by Mr Ko Kwang Il, CEO of FNC Academy, Mr Han Seung Hoon, VP of album production at FNC Entertainment along with some of Korea’s hottest celebrities as they take up the role as guest judges for the show. Lee Jong Hyun, guitarist of popular pop-rock band, CNBLUE and singer-songwriter Juniel are among the K-Pop stars viewers can expect to see during the series.
