According to industry insiders, a new, upcoming season of 'iQIYI's 'Idol Producer' is currently sending out love calls to various Korean agencies, seeking native Chinese female trainees to participate in the survival program. 

'Idol Producer' is seeking female trainees who have experience in the rigorous idol training system well-known in the K-Pop market, regardless of whether or not they've already debuted in a group or are still preparing for debut. Netizens online have also named various, well-known Chinese idols or trainees who may be eligible for the program, raising anticipation for the new season.
