New P-pop group: Born in Phl, trained by Koreans
SB19 soon won’t be the only Pinoy pop group to have been trained by South Koreans.
In a few months, ABS-CBN will launch a new P-pop group whose name is still under wraps.
How the members of this group of seven young men will be trained is the subject of a reality talent show, Dream Maker, to premiere tonight, 19 November.
The show features 62 young hopefuls as they undergo rigorous training in singing and dancing. The aspirants will be shortlisted until the final cut of seven members.
The 62 boys aged 13 to 22 are being mentored by a Korean team of professionals, along with Filipino artists Darren Espanto, Bailey May, and Angeline Quinto.
Ryan, who will also translate the comments of the Korean mentors, is a full-blooded South Korean who went to study in the Philippines.
At the recent media conference for Dream Maker, ABS-CBN business unit heads Marcus Vinuya and Reily Santiago, and Korean executives Lee Hyoungin and Tim Kim, and director Eung Gu Lee talked about the aspirants and the show.
Tim said the boys have been training hard for about a month now, and that they’re in for a long journey. “What I like about the boys is that they treat each other like brothers,” said Tim.
Also among the training team are MBLAQ member Thunder; MOMOLAND and LAPILIS choreographer Bae Wan-hee; dancer-choreographer and Produce 101 dance mentor Bae Yoon-jung; composer-producer Seo Won-jin; and composer-producer Bullseye.
