bluetopazfic 4,875 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 5 Things That Make Mnet’s “BOYS24″ Different Than “Produce 101″ kafox June 9, 2016 0 Mnet is continuing their series of idol survival reality shows with “BOYS24,†the network’s sequel to “Produce 101.†Although the scale isn’t as large, with only 49 contestants vs. Produce 101’s staggering total of 101, the concept is similar. However, “BOYS24″ does have a few key differences that make it much different than Produce 101, in terms of the group’s longevity. 1. Number of finalists In Produce 101, only 11 out of the 101 contestants were selected to join a girl group. On the other hand, in BOYS24, 24 out of the 49 contestants will be selected to join a boy group. In Produce 101, only 10 percent of the contestants made it to the end, but in BOYS24, nearly half of them will. 2. Year-long competition With Produce 101, the competition ended when the show did. But with BOYS24, the competition doesn’t end after the final episode of the show airs. After the final 24 members are selected, they will hold a concert every single day for an entire year. At the end of a year, the most popular members will be selected to debut in the actual final group. The reason this works is because… 3. Contestants are unsigned None of the contestants on the show are currently signed with an agency. Unlike in “Produce 101,†where the contestants are already trainees at other agencies, the contestants on BOYS24 are free agents. Thanks to this, all the members chosen at the end of a year will be signed under a division of CJ E&M in order to debut as a normal idol group. 4. Permanent group Unlike I.O.I, which is set to disband after a year, the group formed after “BOYS24″ will be able to continue promoting for far longer, just like a normal idol group. This is one of the main differences (and best changes, in my opinion) between the two programs. Good job, Mnet. 5. Different concepts And maybe the biggest change of all, the contestants are male, instead of female. While the surface changes are obvious, this may lead to more a diverse range of concepts than I.O.I, which has focused on doing a cute concept. Check out the music video for the group if you haven’t already! What do you think of the changes? Should Mnet have changed anything else? kafox is a K-pop addict and avid viewer and subtitler of Korean dramas on Viki. Point no 3 is the most interesting of all: "None of the contestants on the show are currently signed with an agency", which would eliminate most of the mess from "Produce 101" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are they going to hold a concert on every day of the entire year? Where do they get that money from? xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do they get that money from? xD Probably like AKB48 where they have a small theater where they perform every day. They can be divided into several groups too. If it's true that there are 24 boys in the team, then they could have 2 teams of 12, 3 teams of 8 or even 4 teams of 6 that could take turn performing. I'm interested in seeing the contract though.

Grape Soda 12,004 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 A concert everyday for a year is extremely excessive. And frankly will make people get tired of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
