The show is jointly produced by Sony Music Solution and Kakao Entertainment.

It focuses on 13 male contestants, born in 2002-2005: Junho, Minseo, Junseok, Junmin, Jinwook, Hyunjun, Daehyun, Donghwa, Rakwon, Seunghwan, Yeonkyu, Bin, and Jaehoon. THE ORIGIN – A, B, Or What? will produce a new boy group under IST Entertainment.

The show hasn’t even premiered yet, and we’re already fans. Recently, the contestants were featured in a new signal song titled “RUN.”

We’re fans of all of the mentors, too, of course! They include GOT7’s leader Jay B, Infinite’s leader Sungkyu, former 2NE1 member Minzy, dancer and choreographers Kwak Yoon Young, and Hwang Gyu Hong.

In a new preview released by 1theK (원더케이), the mentors talked about what we can expect. According to Sungkyu, THE ORIGIN – A, B, Or What? is the “first audition program conducted in a balance game.”

I’m trying to be very objective as much as I can.
