Project 7 (Korean프로젝트7) is an ongoing 2024 South Korean boy group reality competition survival show created by JTBC. It follows the process of creating a new global boy group. It premiered on JTBC on October 18, 2024, and airs every Friday at 20:30 (KST). The show will end with the formation of a seven-member boy group.

Concept

[edit]

Project 7 is a differentiated new concept idol audition program that introduces the concept of 'assembly, reinforcement', where viewers move away from the perspective of observers who only participate through voting and directly select contestants for each round from the first round, form new teams, and develop their favorite contestants through this process.[1]

Production and background

[edit]

The program is co-directed by Ma Gun-young and Chae Sung-wook. It was co-produced by Studio Slam and SLL.[1]

On April 20, 2024, JTBC revealed teasers inviting any male to apply for the show. The program will be produced by the creators of Sing Again and will air in the second half of 2024.

The theme song, "Run (Up To You)" (Korean: 달려 (Up To You)) was released on September 24, 2024, accompanied by a performance of the song the next day by the 100 contestants.[2]

Lee Soo-hyuk, was recruited as Project 7 host.[3] The panel also includes Lee Hae-in, Ha Sung-woon, Bada Lee, Hi-Hat Entertainment performance director Ryu D, as well as prominent songwriter and producer Ryan S. Jhun.[4]

Signal Song Test (Episode 2-3)

[edit]

In this mission, trainees are to divide themselves up into 5 groups of 20, which become their units for this mission. The trainees are to prepare the vocals and the choreography of the signal song of the show, 'Run (Up To You)'. After preparations, trainees are to film and perform individually in front of the judges and each trainee is scored individually. Following all the trainees video scoring, all the scores for each unit are added together to determine the interim unit rankings. After the interim rankings, the directors reveal that there will be a team evaluation which will determine the final unit rankings. The unit rank determines where the members of each unit stand on the pyramid stage where they will perform and film the official video for the signal song. The highest ranking unit stand in the Tier 1 Zone, down to Tier 4 Zone onstage. The lowest ranking unit stands in the Shadow Zone, which situates on the floor underneath the Tier 4 Zone in the pyramid. The trainees in the Shadow Zone wouldn't have any singing parts, they would just have backup vocals and serve as support to the rest of the trainees. As a benefit for receiving the highest rank, one member from the unit with the highest rank will have the chance to become the center of the performance, getting to stand at the highest point of the pyramid, in the very center of everyone.

Position Match (Episode 3-4)

[edit]

In this mission, trainees are to divide themselves up into units of varying numbers. The trainees are presented with three positions with four songs each. Vocal has 'Love me or Leave Me' by Day6, 'Don't Go' by Exo, 'We Must Love' by ONF, & 'Love Wins All' by IU. Dance gets 'Kiwi' by Harry Styles, 'Closer' by The Chainsmokers, 'Pop' by NSYNC, & '3D' by Jungkook. Rap receives 'Shalala' by Taeyong, 'Crayon' by G-Dragon, 'Work' by Ateez, & Mommae by Jay Park. Each position also comes with their own specific challenge; Vocal teams must participate in the arrangement of the song, Dance teams must rechoreograph a certain section of their song, and Rap teams must write their own rap for a certain section of their song. The order in which the trainees head up to the area of choice is in of position revealed, trainees who wish to be vocalists go to Vocal, etc. for Dance, and then Rap, but this order is insignificant, as anyone can get dropped from anywhere immediately after. Speaking of, after the initial selection, any team with any amount of overflow members has to kick out as many overflows as necessary. Once the units are narrowed down to the appropriate number, the kicked out trainees would have to reorganize themselves into the remaining units that had leftover spots. The parts for this mission are decided by the trainees themselves, mainly for the Center position. Each trainee in a unit is to vote for another member of their unit to be the Center and the recipient of the most votes would assume the role in most cases. Following the performances, the 500 World Assemblers present at the live show, as well as the 5 Directors would vote for the best performance out of each category, and the members of the recipient unit of the most votes would receive 20 000 points each to be added to their voting score. The 500 World Assemblers would also participate in a vote for the MVP of each position, voting for the contestant they think did the best per unit.
