ENHYPEN's Jungwon, Heeseung, and Ni-ki, and IZ*ONE's Kwon Eunbi will appear on KBS 2TV's "MAKEMATE1" Episode 4. Tonight at 10:10 PM, the 4th episode of the most anticipated global boys group debut project in Korea in 2024, produced by the team behind various audition programs such as "PRODUCE101" and "&AUDITION-The Howling," will be broadcast exclusively on "ABEMA" in Japan and Korea. The program is a global boys group debut project with the meaning of "making a dream stage (MAKE) and becoming one (MATE) with friends (ONE)," depicting 35 boys from various countries growing to pursue their idol dreams. Unlike other audition programs, this program gathers ordinary boys who are not affiliated with agencies. Their limitless potential and individuality, yet to be revealed, overlap in the dream of debut, attracting attention to how they will blossom. Among these boys are Han Yuseop, who narrowly missed debut in "BOYS PLANET," Mirak, who advanced to the finals of "Nizi Project Season 2," and Takuma, who appeared on "Youth Star," all with experience in audition programs, creating buzz even before the broadcast. In tonight's 4th episode, the first dropout will occur in the 1st round of the "1 Artist 2 Stage Mission" after the start of the program. C-MATE (judges) will guide the participants, with MAMAMOO's Solar making her first appearance. The day before the 1st round stage, the participants rehearse on stage, receiving strict criticism like "it's like a regional 'throat competition'" and "it's unprofessional behavior." Solar advises them to "get absorbed and not be afraid." Will the participants be able to deliver the best performance on stage? The interest is high. Furthermore, as special C-MATEs, ENHYPEN's Jungwon, Heeseung, Ni-ki, and IZ*ONE's Kwon Eunbi will appear. The surprise appearance of their admired seniors surprises the participants. Amidst the rising tension, some show new charms, with Ni-ki saying, "I came in first," "I want to see other genres too," and Kwon Eunbi commenting, "It's overwhelming." The 35 participants with unknown charms gather, and the 4th episode of "MAKEMATE1," the most anticipated global boys group debut project in Korea in 2024, will be broadcast for free on "ABEMA" tonight at 10:10 PM in Japan and Korea. Episodes 1 to 3 are also available for free on-demand viewing. Program Overview: "MAKEMATE1" airs every Wednesday at 10:10 PM with simultaneous free broadcasts in Japan and Korea.
