Universe Ticket (2023–2024) |
Universe League is an upcoming South Korean reality competition television series created by SBS. It intends to create a boy group. The final group will debut under F&F Entertainment, an entertainment company related to the clothing brand of the same name, F&F. It is scheduled to premiere at the end of 2024.
The show will serve as a sequel to Universe Ticket, this time featuring all male contestants.
Concept
[edit]Universe League will use a different format from its predecessor, a league-style audition where the final winning team that won the Prism Cup debuts. Specifically, three of K-pop's leading artists will be the managers of each team. They select their teammates through a trainee draft and compete against each other. This is combined with the sporting element through a trade of exchanging trainees to assemble the best members of each team.[1]
Promotion and broadcast
[edit]At the end of the finale episode of Universe Ticket on January 17, a "Coming Soon" video was released and announced the second season titled Universe League.[2] On January 22, F&F Entertainment announced the preparation for the season two and planned to broadcast it on SBS at the end of this year.[3]
On April 15, SBS and F&F organized a global audition and began recruiting boys who were born before 2011 regardless of nationality starting April 22.[1]
Cast
