‘Debut Plan’ New Kids 21 Members, Communication Evaluation… MonX I.M. and Minhyuk Supporting

The large-scale global project ‘Debut Plan’, which contains the debut process of Starship‘s new boy group, will bring out the latent charms of the ‘debut preparation team’ New Kids.

Episode 4 of ‘Debut Plan’, which will be released on the ‘New Kids on the Starship’ YouTube channel at 9:30 PM on the 4th (Friday), will depict the New Kids’ challenge to improve their communication skills with fans through the third plan, ‘Communication Evaluation’.

New Kids, who are running towards their debut, are entering the ‘Communication Evaluation’ to improve their communication skills ahead of meeting K-pop fans around the world. In episode 4, a team that showed off a refreshing boyish look, a team that displayed charisma, and a team that overwhelmed with captivating gazes will be revealed.

This ‘Communication Evaluation’ will be divided into three concepts (‘BOYHOOD’, ‘CRUSH’, ‘FANTASY’). Attention is focused on what kind of songs the New Kids will use to appeal to their fans and reveal their own identities. Above all, this time, incomparably more difficult variables than the previous plans will appear, confusing the New Kids even more. Every time they faced an obstacle, the New Kids showed remarkable growth, and curiosity is rising as to what kind of drama they will create in the ‘Communication Evaluation’.

Following Monsta X‘s Shownu, IVE, and SISTAR’s Soyou, Monsta X‘s I.M and Minhyuk will appear in episode 4 as a special trainer and on-site MC, respectively, to support the New Kids. In particular, I.M made New Kids nervous with his heavy force from the moment he appeared, raising expectations about how he will help New Kids on stage. In addition to I.M and Minhyuk, special artists will appear for the ‘Communication Evaluation’.

New Kids previously stole the hearts of global fans with their first plan ‘Strength Position Evaluation (STRENGTH)’ and their second plan ‘Weakness Position Evaluation (WEAKNESS)’. Following the performance of their new song ‘ImPerfect’ on the 26th of last month, the performance video of the 21 New Kids, which was released on the ‘1theK Originals - Wonder K Originals’ YouTube channel with 2.46 million subscribers on March 31st, surpassed 200,000 views in less than a day, proving the hot interest of fans toward New Kids.

Meanwhile, the ‘Debut Plan’ closed the first round of voting at 10 AM on the 3rd, and the second round of voting is underway on the official website until 10 AM on the 17th. Voting is allowed once a day, and you can vote for a total of two New Kids each day.
