Individual Positions Revealed: All-Rounder, Dance, Rap, Vocal Color, and Main Vocal
Starship’s large-scale global project, “Debut’s Plan,” documenting the process of debuting a new boy group this year, has announced that the debut of the new group is drawing near. The project also announced it will reveal the first eliminated contestants and the revival of a contestant through the “Debut’s Super Pass,” heightening anticipation among global K-pop fans.
The seventh episode of “Debut’s Plan,” released on the “New Kids on the Starship” YouTube channel on April 21st at 9:30 PM, showcased the New Kids forming idol teams and preparing for their debut through the sixth plan, the “Pre-Debut Evaluation.” The episode depicted the New Kids’ changed attitudes as they approached the evaluation and the tension of potentially being eliminated, adding to the excitement. After completing the fifth plan, “TEAMWORK Evaluation” in November of last year, the New Kids spent three months incubating and growing, and now only two evaluations remain: the “Pre-Debut Evaluation” and the “Debut Evaluation.”
During the “Pre-Debut Evaluation,” which will be broadcast live with over 1,000 fans, “Debut’s Plan” will see its first eliminations. However, the “Debut’s Plan” board of directors has decided to additionally select one of the eliminated New Kids to receive the “Debut’s Super Pass” for revival.
The individual positions determined by the “Debut’s Plan” board of directors were also revealed. These include six All-Rounders (Kim Minjae, Kim Jiyong, Park Wonbin, Baek Junhyuk, Wu Hao, Jang Yonghoon), three Dancers (Miyata Haru, Suzuki Kaira, Lee Wooju), three Rappers (Kim Yunseo, Park Seonghyun, Seok Jun), six Vocal Colorists (Park Junhwan, Lee Taegun, Jang Gyuhyun, Jeon Junseo, Jeong Semin, Jin Bommin), and three Main Vocalists (Lee Junseo, Jo Minjae, Chu Yuchan). Notably, the youngest New Kid, Lee Wooju, was very surprised and confused when he was selected for the Dance position instead of Park Seonghyun.
