Gamdasal Starship, all 21 New Kids will be at the center...NCT JOHNNYIV support shooting



Expectations for a new boy group of Starship Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as Starship) are rising.

Starship's "Debut's Plan", a mega global project featuring the debut process of the new boy group, which is scheduled to launch this year, is drawing attention from K-pop fans around the world by showing the strengths of the "Debut's Plan" New Kids through the first plan, and the first stage announced by New Kids has continued to be enthusiastic since its release.

Through an episode recently released on the YouTube channel 'New Kids on the Starship', the 21 New Kids completed the first 'New Kids 7' consisting of five first-place New Kids from five teams and two second-place New Kids from the winning team by position. In addition to the seven members, all New Kids members wrote a remarkable growth story, showing their ability to become perfect idols and infinite potential for development.




In the first plan, from the 'New A.G.K. team that drew rave reviews of 'Underdog Rebellion', to the 'You Were Beautiful' team that proved the name value of the 'Avengers team', all of the New Kids hit the hearts of K-pop-loving fans by completing their best performance as the main characters. The 'New A.G.K.' team, which set the first stage of the 'Strong Position Evaluation', practiced in a subdued atmosphere with the remaining members who were not selected when selecting members, but showed their unexpected skills from the stage intro, drawing enthusiastic cheers from the board of directors and the trainer team. In particular, the main dancer Park Won-bin, who perfectly performed the stage concept, captured the hearts of fans by ranking first in the overall New Kids.

The performance of the 'DWN team, which is so talented that all members, including Kim Min-jae, Park Sung-hyun, Baek Joon-hyuk, Suzuki Keira, and Jin Bo-min, are the main dancers, also drew attention from K-pop fans. Although some pointed out that the impression was somewhat disappointing, there was no disagreement that both the board and the trainer team had excellent skills and choreographed well for each member of the 'DWN' team. Even though Suzuki Kaira is not the main dancer, she showed her strong presence by ranking first in the overall ranking of the New Kids with her opponent team, Park Won-bin. The 'Monster (Red Velvet Irene & Seulgi)' team, which had a conflict at the beginning of the practice due to poor language communication, also completed an overwhelming stage with a strong teamwork through harmony. The scene in which all the members fell on the stage from the introduction to Haru Miyata, who drew attention with charismatic shouting, to the leader Wu Ha-oh, whose presence shone, was overwhelming.

The 'Magnetic' team, consisting of Jang Kyu-hyun, Lee Joon-seo and Jeong Se-min, received harsh criticism from the trainer team during rehearsals due to a series of bad news, but on the main stage, they supplemented their shortcomings and caused smiles from the board and the trainer team. The "You Were Beautiful" team, which has been expected for its stable vocal skills since the team was formed, proved its name value as the Avengers team, including Kim Ji-yong, a leader with an attractive mask and skills that catch the eye, main vocalist Choo Woo-chan, who boasted a tremendous voice, Lee Tae-gun, who has stable vocal skills, and Kim Yoon-seo, who showed his presence with a clean rap part. They were ranked as the No. 1 vocal position team, and first place Chu Woo-chan and second place Kim Ji-yong were ranked in 'New Kids 7'.




K-pop fans reacted enthusiastically after the `strength position evaluation' ended. The cumulative number of views on the video related to "New Kids on the Starship" exceeded 22 million views, and each video received a flood of supportive comments, forming a fandom of New Kids members. Fans' interest and expectations for the New Kids are soaring, with requests to release new songs released in the dance position team evaluation. Reflecting the high interest and support, the 21 New Kids also won the honor of performing a new song 'ImPerfect' at the cleaning time held after the early game between the LG Twins and Hanwha Eagles at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 26th.

In the third episode of 'Debuts Plan', which will be released at 9:30 p.m. on the 28th, the process of creating a second 'New Kids 7' members who will prove their all-rounder by changing their weaknesses to strengths through 'WEAKNESS' will unfold. The story of New Kids meeting idol seniors is also expected, with NCT Johnny, IVE Liz, and Ray visiting Ajit Dome, and SISTAR Soyou taking lessons as a special vocal trainer.
