BBC acquires new entertainment series "Made in Korea: The K-Pop Experience". Will it be a hit?

What happens when you take five boys from the UK, drop them in Seoul, and put them through the world-renowned K-pop process? You have the UK's largest broadcasting company, The BBC (British Broadcasting Co-operation), acquiring this new exciting series Made in Korea: The K-Pop Experience! Read on to find out more exciting details!

Made in Korea this K-pop experience will be a music experiment like no other. The collaboration is between K-pop giant powerhouse SM Entertainment and Kakao Entertainment. The K-pop Experience will be a 6 part series, which will follow five boys from the UK, who are put through their paces in a K-pop training school, to launch a new boy band on a global level. To me, this sounds like a good series to watch, and coming from the UK, you often hear about the rigorous process and schedule of K-pop training schools, so will the British boys be able to handle it?!


Cameras will go behind closed doors at SM Entertainment for the first time to witness the band working with the world’s greatest choreographers, singing songs from the best songwriters, and being tutored by some of the most revered experts in the K-pop business.


I also find this interesting, as many great global bands have been launched by SM Entertainment such as AESPA and RIIZE, so to gain an insight into what these global sensations go through, will be interesting!


Let's check out this video for some extra details!





The K-Pop Experience sees the boys immersed into K-pop culture and put through the original K-pop training process for 100 days. They will face a schedule of intense choreography, vocal and performance lessons, and life coaching techniques, alongside an immersion into all aspects of Korean life - set against Seoul’s striking landscapes and iconic K-pop locations, which I cannot wait to see!


I think that the BBC's interest in launching this collaborative series stems from the rise in influence of K-culture which has continued to sweep across the world, especially in Western countries. I think it will be really interesting to see how this series does in terms of viewers and interest from the British public, which I have to say, until recently have not known to much about South Korea.


The show is scheduled to be released this summer! Follow us on all of our socials to see when it will be released!


Without a doubt, I will be tuning in to watch this show. Will you?! Let us know in the comments below.
