IST Entertainment recently announced that they will be holding a survival audition program to find the members of a new boy group. It is called "THE ORIGIN - A, B, Or What?" and will be Korea's first balance survival program that combines balance games and K-Pop.
The resulting group will debut in the first half of 2022 and the show will be airing every Saturday from February 26 on KakaoTV and 1thK at 6 PM KST (and simultaneously broadcast on MBN at 5 PM KST).
