Cameras go behind closed doors at SM Entertainment for the first time to witness the band working with choreographers, singing songs from top-talent songwriters and being tutored by some of the most revered experts in the K-pop business.<\/p>\n<p>Each week, the band\u2019s progress is critiqued by K-pop expert Hee Jun Yoon, the creative force behind some of the biggest K-pop bands of the last 20 years.<\/p>\n<p><em>Made in Korea: The K-Pop Experience<\/em> is produced by Moon&amp;Back Media, part of the team that developed and produced some of the world\u2019s most-traveled formats, including <em>Got Talent<\/em> and <em>The X Factor<\/em>, and popular bands such as One Direction.<\/p>\n<p>ITV Studios handles international distribution for both format and finished program.<\/p>\n<p>Kalpna Patel-Knight, head of entertainment at the BBC, said: &#8220;This unique acquisition will showcase a sense of exactly what it takes to make it in the world of K-pop. Witnessing the band come together and be put through their paces promises to be a very exciting prospect for audiences.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nigel Hall, co-founder of Moon&amp;Back Media, said: &#8220;<em>Made in Korea: The K-Pop Experience<\/em> combines best-in-class from both K-pop and global entertainment production worlds. Forming a British boy band, schooling them through the unrivaled rigors of the K-pop process, and launching them on the global stage is creating both a world-first and unmissable television.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Jang, CEO of SM Entertainment, said: &#8220;Through this U.K. boy group project, we anticipate a palpable synergy between SM Entertainment&#8217;s prowess in K-pop production and Moon&amp;Back Media&#8217;s expertise in developing music-genre TV shows. This collaboration will yield exceptional content that will captivate pop music fans, not only in the U.K. but worldwide.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph Chang, co-CEO of Kakao Entertainment Corp., said: &#8220;This endeavor marks the first time we\u2019ve utilized K-pop\u2019s production expertise within the U.K., the birthplace of pop music, to directly showcase the creation of artists and music IP. It represents a meaningful opportunity to connect with a global audience through a reality show that traces the group\u2019s journey and development. We\u2019re confident that this project will open a new chapter for K-pop, offering a unique entertainment experience to music enthusiasts worldwide. We look forward to witnessing the debut and growth of this boy group together, with hopes that viewers will discover a new side of K-pop and fall in love with it all over again.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Made in Korea: The K-Pop Experience is set to air on BBC One and iPlayer this summer, following five boys from across the U.K. as they are put through the K-pop training process with the goal of launching a new boy band on the global stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":10705,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[827,3837,3838,3839,3333,3462],"class_list":["post-10704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-one","tag-hee-jun-yoon","tag-kakao-entertainment-america","tag-made-in-korea-the-k-pop-experience","tag-moonback-media","tag-sm-entertainment","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
