Contestants of SBS boy group audition program ‘Universe League’ are raising the heat by appearing on a music show five days before the opening of ‘Dream Match’.

According to ‘Universe League’ on the 17th, 42 ‘Universe League’ contestants will appear on ‘Inkigayo’, which will air that afternoon, and perform the title song ‘We Ready’ for the first time.

‘Universe League’ released the performance video for ‘We Ready’ on the 31st of last month, creating an explosive response. The exciting debut war, the hip-hop atmosphere that draws people in and the powerful performances that fully embody the passion of the participants moved the hearts of global K-pop fans.

As they have been boasting continued popularity online, expectations for their first stage are also high. The participants plan to impress K-pop fans around the world with their skills and charisma that they have honed for the ‘Universe League’ dream match.

The performance directed by Baek Gu-young of 1MILLION is another point to watch on the stage. The title song is a song that encapsulates the different charms of each of the three clubs, Rhythm, Groove, and Beat. It raises curiosity about how the performances that highlight each club‘s individuality will be expressed on stage.

‘We Ready’ is a 90s hip-hop style song with an attractive heavy bass and R&B rhythm top line. In the hook completed with repetitive lyrics, you can feel the boys’ aspirations for debut and the unique charms of the beat, groove, and rhythm.

‘Universe League’ is a league-style audition where participants compete to win a single Prism Cup. The program is conducted like an actual sports game. The managers leading the three clubs select players through a draft and compete.

The first global fan vote is also underway ahead of the first broadcast. As it affects the survival of the participants, the enthusiastic participation of fans from all over the world who cheer for the players is never ending. Voting ends at 11:59 PM on this day.

The boys‘ dream match ‘Universe League’ for a global boy group will air on SBS at 11:20 PM on the 22nd.
