Ever wonder what you'll get when you cross Top Combine and NEWS?
Tired of Top Combine’s MV’s where the Korean director decides to reuse his own work – DBSK’s Purple Line and O?
Tired of Meteor Shower second lead Yu Haoming being given typical kpop makeovers that overshadows his own sweetness?
So is their company. After years of working with Korean record label DoReMi, Hunan Broadcasting Systems (which owns both Hunan TV and eeMedia, which manages Top Combine and Yu Haoming), has found a new foreign partner.
Today, Hunan TV’s Tian Tian Xiang Shang (天天向上) variety show announced the beginning of “Road to Asia, Day Day Up,” where Hunan TV (Huan Zhu Ge Ge, Super Girls & Boys, Meteor Shower, Happy Camp, Day Day Up) will collaborate with Japanese entertainment company Johnny’s (Arashi, NEWS, KAT-TUN, Hey! Say! JUMP) to form a new boyband.
The competition welcomes all Chinese and Japanese males between the age of 12-26 to join, and the finals will air on Tian Tian Xiang Shang. Winners will receive a chance to join both Johnny’s and Hunan TV. They will train with Johnny’s to form a new boyband and join Hunan TV as hosts for a new program.
Sign-ups begin on the 19th on QQ entertainment, and tomorrow’s episode of Tian Tian Xiang Shang will feature Johnny’s dance teachers, crew, and trainees(? – 街球少年).
