1. What day does start and end

2. Where to watch? Aside from bbc?

3. Britain is home to some of the greatest bands in the world, which no k-pop group can come close however hard they try (Beatles, Queen, 1D, Rolling stones, Pink Floyd, Oasis, Led Zeppelin, etc). And these guys literally wanna take the k-pop culture as inspiration to host a bootcamp to churn out synthetic musicians with no proper talent of their own. British bands are known for being authentic, as a non brit I love B-pop and this whole show feels like an insult to the b-pop industry. Almost most of the music coming out of the korean industry is cool and all, but not authentic, their tunes don't show the potential to be etched in the minds of listeners for ever like how Hey Jude or Yesterday or Bohemian Rhapsody have made an impact. It all feels so synthetic, with tons of producers and choreographers and other people working behind you, there is no originality, its like a literal factory product. Britain should not be taking inspiration from k-pop just because they are so popular today. Why should it be Made in Korea ? Why not Made in Britain, when majority of all the greatest hits ever written are by british artists ? Does the UK doubt her talent house now given that 1D disbanded and there isn't a boy band to gush over like how it was ? There shouldn't be a show like this, nothing short of stressful for those poor kids.

4. BTS PLEASE, come back to save K-POP because some groups are ruining your legacy before Jin went to army

5. How can i see this tv show?

6. if it's SM, the vocal is guaranteed. waiting for your debut, DearAlice

7. would be amazing if ppl outside of the uk could watch it

8. Would be great if we could actually watch this outside the UK.

9. Is this like Katseye – pop ‘dream academy’ on Netflix?

10. Why do I think that if SM keeps NCT's expanding concept, they will be NCT Europe?

11. Exo <3

12. Can't wait ❤❤❤

13. 마케팅용이네

14. 난 가끔 영국이나 미국의 젊은이들이 한국의 Kpop을 좋아하는게 이해가 안갈때가 있슴..좋아해주는건 고맙지만,개인적으로 깊이도 없는 인스턴트 라면같이 느껴지거든..난 단한곡도 요즘 유행하는 kpop을 끝까지 들은적이 없다.도저히 못듣겠더라고..
    영국의 깊이있는 Britpop도 많은데,왜 하필Kpop?

15. can yall just drop the song already

16. I was in Seoul in September 2024 for the Korean Open tennis competition. The tennis courts are next to the former Olympic gymnasium where RIIZE was giving a concert the day before the tennis started so I thought I’d drop in to “evaluate” them through the eyes of a would-be SM Director of Artistic Development.
    
    Singing: good, not remarkable
    
    Choreo: very simple. For me, the ultimate in complex dance-pop choreo was Momoland’s BAAM. Nothing I saw from RIIZE came close.
    
    Stamina: none needed; 3 short dance routines in 90 minutes
    
    Interaction as a group: fantastic but, unfortunately, all of it occurred while sitting down or strolling around the stage, not while performing.
    
    I think I may have been attending some kind of a wrap-up, end-of-tour performance because 80 of the 90 minutes I was there were consumed by the boys chatting to each other and to the audience, playing dress-up games and doing quizzes. One of the games required each boy to watch a clip of himself during a previous stage performance then repeat it live. All of this was, of course, in Korean which is why I left after 90 minutes.
    
    I tried to ask my neighbours (I estimated the attendance at 10,000; 95% of whom were young women) if this was a normal k-Pop concert but none were willing to read Google translate on my phone as long as the boys were “performing.”
    
    I did notice that the loudest audience screams came when a boy appeared in close-up on the huge screens to play his part in the chatting and quizzing. Not the music, not the dancing, not the choreo, not the scenery or the spectacle but close-ups of the performers.
    
    So, are good looks the simple secret to the k-Pop phenomenon?
    
    Clearly, bands in other music genres have some physically attractive members but, with rare exceptions, all the members of those bands are talented musicians and one or more of their members compose most of the songs they perform. Apparently not so in k-Pop.
    
    Could it be that the back stories to the genre—boot camps, drilling, harsh criticism, even harsher contracts, no romantic partners, etc etc—is all a marketing ploy to make them seem special and give the audiences an excuse to go to look at a pretty face?

17. no hate to the guys but this wont be the next. BOYZ 2 MEN, BACKSTREET BOYS, NSYNC, NEW EDITION, NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK OR ONE DIRECTION. Simply because the market they are from. They mostly will get fans but those fans are alredy existing ones from k-pop. The boy band market is on all time low since one direction. There have been some small tries here and there but that was it nothing that broke into the mainstream. The demand for boy bands in the western market is simply not there. bUT I WISH THEM GOOD LUCK

18. Can this show put in netflix or something legal streaming site that i can watch them??

19. Can't wait for their debut! ❤

20. Ive watched two programmes and what stands out to me is the attitudes that the English boys have is different to the Korean way. For example BTS speak with utter respect for their fans. They are seen to “chat” on Weverse . They have a very humble approach and acknowledge their fans play a huge part in their success. They wouldn’t “dismiss” them as kids. When BTS debuted , they had already built a small fan base and they were so grateful for this. They developed the relationship over time.
    I am a member of ARMY and I know that I am not loyal just because of the phenomenal singing and dancing but for the humility, humour, integrity and charisma that BTS bring to K-pop.

21. Just found out that BBC iPlayer is literally not available in Brazil 😭 I wanna watch this show so bad tho.. where can I find it?

22. I have high expectations, they were trained in SMent

23. Flop 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

24. EXO's Love Shot appeared from this trailer is legendary!

25. POOR BOYS WERE ABUSED TO BE WERE THERE AT NOW, CHASING THE FAKE LIGHT.

26. 최소 일년이상은 트레이닝 받으셈 육개월이 머임

27. everyone in korea is going to love those british accents

28. 케이팝 이름만 차용한 마케팅. 팬들은 바보가 아님.

29. 100days???????

30. 100days?? That is too short. The average training period for Kpop idols is at least 2-3 years….

31. EXCITEDDD

32. Its going to be interesting that sm bringing in a uk group! The standards are very high in korea

33. Cant wait to see it. If they trained in Sm it meens they df have talent to be a singer mm

34. When Mr. Bang said that he wanted Korea to be a leader in songs and to have a strong presence like Latinos on all international platforms, and that he would create an international group and it would be the launch of a girl group, everyone insulted him and said that he was distorting K-Pop, but suddenly JYP rushed to launch it. Her band is in America, and now SM, in less than a year, has launched a youth group, haha. This is really funny. Everyone has become the same goal as Mr. Bang. Everyone has now launched groups. His training period is less than a year…. MR. BANG He is truly a genius. Good luck

35. This has to be the dumbest idea. Who wants another One Direction. 🤢🤮
