As early as June 30, rumors emerged that the K-Pop labels WAKEONE, Yuehua and Jellyfish Entertainment want to form a new project group with trainees from Boys Planet. Today Jellyfish confirmed these rumors and announced the seven members! Is your favorite among them?
The survival show “Boys Planet”, which aired at the beginning of the year, captivated K-Pop fans all over the world. For weeks they cheered on the trainees and voted for their favorites. In the end, the nine trainees with the most votes debuted in the project group “ZEROBASEONE”, “ZB1” for short.
But although many fan favorites are among the winners, of course many fans are also disappointed because one or more of their favorites didn't make it. So there was great joy when the Korean news portal “Joy News 24” reported at the end of June that a few of the eliminated contestants will debut in another group!
Since the group is being formed by Yuehua and WAKEONE, it was natural to assume that their trainees would be part of the group: These are Park Han Bin, Lee Jeong Hyeon, Mun Jung Hyun and Park Ji Hoo from WAKEONE. Also Yoo Seung Eon and Ji Yun Seo from Yuehua.
But Jellyfish Entertainment, which will manage the group, surprisingly announced today that it will consist of seven members. Besides the six trainees just mentioned, Keita from RAINCOMPANY is also part of it!
How do you like the group? Are you already looking forward to their debut?
The project group is called “BLIT”!
“BLIT” is an abbreviation for “Boldly Leaping into Tomorrow” (jumping boldly into tomorrow). The name symbolizes the group's ambition and their goal of breaking the standards of the music industry. Will you accompany BLIT on their journey?
Keita, Park Han Bin, Yoo Seung Eon and Lee Jeong Hyeon made it to the finale, and there are certainly quite a few fans who are happy about their return. The other three were at least there for eight of 12 episodes; they had to leave the show after the second elimination. During this time they also caught the attention of some viewers. Now they have been given another opportunity to show off their talent!
We're keeping our fingers crossed for the seven trainees and can hardly wait to see them on stage again!
