‘Boys Planet’ Episode 12: Finale announces the top 9 candidates who will debut as new K-pop boy band ZEROBASEONE
Boys Planet is one of the hottest idol survival shows aired by Mnet, which plans to create the next global group.
It was the male version of “Girls Planet 999” that gave rise to rookie girl group Kep1er. The program took place in many missions to determine which of the candidates will be in the top nine.

The applicants were first divided into two categories consisting of Group K with trainees in Korea and Group G with foreign trainees around the world. Also notable was the presence of third-generation idol PENTAGON Hui, who took part in the show as a contestant.
The show put all trainees to the test with missions such as Cover Battle, Group Battle, Dual Position Battle, and Artist Battle. The trainees were treated with care thanks to the guidance of Star Masters Hwang Minhyun, Sunmi, Yeo Jin Goo, BTOB Minhyuk, SHINee Key, 2AM Jo Kwon, Jeon Somi and Kim Jae Hwan.
In the previous Episode 11 of the series, Soloist and Seventh Star Master Jeon Somi announced the ranking of her Artist Battle mission.
