BREAKING: KBS To Debut Second Idol Project 3 Group; This Group To Follow Format Of Previous Seasons
There’s no doubt in mind that the third season of Idol Project has been one of the best seasons yet, with ratings through the roof and more exciting challenges been thrown at the contestants, left and right. While viewership and hype has been up, though, that doesn’t mean this season has come without it’s share of backlash-- fans have been increasingly upset with the fact that only four trainees are set to debut in the final group-- three less than in past seasons. While Syndicate’s debut was hyped up to the extreme, and they are sure to debut with a lot of support, the fans wanted to see more, and it seems like their feedback has been heard.
Early today KBS and MNet announced that a second group would debut, made up of eliminated contestants from Idol Project 3-- three fan favorites who came so close to reaching the end, and just missed it by a hair. Comprised of Spotlight Productions’ Mercedes, DS Media’s Rey, and 360 Studios’ Yena, the three-member girl group will follow much the same format as Creed and Unity-- they will promote for a few comeback cycles (each comeback produced by a different company) before disbanding and returning to train at their respective companies.
Their debut is coming soon, too-- trying to ride the continued hype of Idol Project’s finale, KBS announced that their debut (produced by Alpha Records) would happen next week. They stated that the trio were hard at work, learning choreography and recording, and would be ready to wow the fans who fought so hard for them. KBS also gave fans a name-- the trio will be debuting under the name DIVA.
