The Unit Vietsub, also known as Idol Rebooting Project The Unit (2017), is a reality show that aims to select talented individuals to form new idol groups. Initially, the show focused on recruiting contestants who had previously debuted and released at least one album. However, the program later expanded its scope to allow anyone to apply, and internet users were also encouraged to recommend potential contestants to the production team. Following the registration period, interviews and assessments were conducted to select the final contestants.
Within just two days, over 350 applications were received. After the selection process, the show narrowed down the pool to 126 contestants, consisting of 63 males and 63 females. These contestants were then divided into seven male teams and seven female teams, with each team consisting of nine members. Throughout the show, these teams would undertake various missions and challenges to showcase their skills and potential.
Ultimately, the goal of The Unit Vietsub is to form two exclusive idol groups: a male group with nine members and a female group with nine members. These groups will have the opportunity to promote and perform together for a period of seven months. The show provides a platform for talented individuals to receive recognition and a chance to debut in the competitive K-pop industry.
By offering a fresh and inclusive approach to idol group formation, The Unit Vietsub has garnered significant attention and anticipation from both fans and industry professionals. The show's unique concept and rigorous selection process ensure that only the most deserving and talented individuals will have the opportunity to debut and showcase their abilities to a wider audience.
