The newest idol rebooting program "The Unit" has so far released the teaser music videos showcasing the many talents who are participating in the survival program. Following the release of music videos, "My Turn," "Last Chance," and "Shine," more individual teaser videos of the contestants have been released.
The teaser clip featured one from the boys and one from the girls, the first of which featured IM member Giseok, who was also a contestant on BOYS24. He is joined by former April member Hyunjoo. The second clip featured Chan from A.C.E and Park Jiwon from Park Sisters. The third individual teaser clip was of IMFACT member Unjae and Lee Bo Rim; the fourth featured MVP member Rayoon and Good Day member Jiwon.
The fifth individual teaser was of SNUPER's Sangil and LipBubble member Hanbi. The sixth was of Lee Jung Ha and G-reyish member Yena. The seventh individual teaser clip was of former Day6 member Junhyeok and Rubber Soul member Kim, and the eighth teaser clip put B.I.G member Heedo and S.I.S member Anne front and center.
The ninth individual clip featured U-KISS member Jun and Chaesol, who is also from Good Day. The tenth teaser clip put the spotlight on former SM Rookies member Ji Hansol and Matilda member DanA.
The next teaser clips showed the rest of the contestants, including Boyfriend leader Donghyun, Bigstar and "Hit the Stage" contestant Feeldog, former Cross Gene member Casper, and IM member Kijoong, who was front and center among the boys in the "My Turn" music video; as well as Sonamoo member Euijin, who served as the center of the girls.
Recently, the singers and performers who serve as mentors in the idol rebooting program revealed what makes this audition program different from other programs. One particular program is the popular "Produce 101" on MNET, which already brought in two project groups from its two seasons.
Speaking to "Entertainment Weekly" on KBS2, singer Hwang Chi Yeol pointed out that the big difference "The Unit" has compared to the different audition programs is that it features people who have already debuted. These participants have already been through the tough trainee period, and they are more desperate to debut again as even better singers. Noting the "reboot" aspect of the show, Hwang explained that it will offer the contestants another shot at making it big.
"The Unit" airs Saturdays at 9:15 p.m. KST / 8:15 a.m. EDT on KBS2.
