All Members Of Fourth Generation Group Shockingly Set To Appear On K-Pop Survival Shows
It seems like K-Pop is full of survival shows looking to take talent and debut those with potential. Yet, alongside trainees, the shows have also seen a lot of established and already debuted idols participate, especially for those who want to bring more attention to their groups.
Two upcoming shows are Starlight Boys and Project 7.
Netizens were recently shocked after it was revealed that all members of the fourth-generation boy group BAE173 would be making appearances on both the survival shows.
It was revealed through photos and teasers from the show that on Starlight Boys, members Hangyul, Yoojun, Bit, and Doha would be participating. While Jmin, Youngseo, Junseo, and Muzin would be on Project 7.

When the news came out, netizens couldn’t hide their shock and anger. Member Hangyul has been on multiple survival shows and debuted with different groups, so netizens hit back at the company for doing this rather than promoting the group together.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN HANGYUL IS ON ANOTHER SHOW!? Hes debuted 5 times, hes been on more survival shows than anyone and its not even close! https://t.co/pkKKccO91R

Yet, they’re not the first active group that has seen all the members participate in survival shows at the same time.
In October 2018, all of the members of A.C.E participated in the survival shows. Junhee and Yuchan competed on The Unit, while members Donghun, Wow, and Byeongkwan competed on Mix Nine.
Many fans just want the group to shine together, but it seems like the company has other ideas and it has been hit with backlash.
