Audition & survival shows

데뷔조, 방출, 랭킹 — the crying-industrial complex.

설명은 영어입니다. 한국어 문장과 뜻은 선택한 언어를 따릅니다.

프로듀스 101 started the format: trainees compete, fans vote (투표), rankings (순위 발표) decide debut. 데뷔조 vs 방출 — debut team or elimination.

Voting wars (표 조작 scandals included) turned fandoms into political parties. 순위 발표회 nights trend worldwide on X (트위터).

Recent formats: 아이랜드, R U Next?, I-LAND 2 — agencies take notes; fans take screenshots; trainees take deep breaths.
