A new, global Japanese-Korean boy group is gearing up to debut soon, born from a Japanese idol survival program known as 'G-Egg'!
Previously, Japanese idol survival program 'G-Egg' garnered attention for its aims to produce a joint Japanese-Korean group, with top Japanese/Korean idol Supernova's Yoonhak overseeing the survival competition. Back in August, 'G-Egg' officially announced the final 11, debuting members of the survival program's new boy group, NIK.
Fans may recognize a lot of familiar faces in NIK, as the group is made up of various trainees and former idols from both the K-Pop and J-Pop scene. Korean members of NIK include former B.I.G member Gunmin, former BLK member Hyeonsu, former LUCENTE members Kogun and Parkha, former 'Produce X 101' contestant Yoonsol, as well as former 'Produce 101 Japan' trainees.

I remember Hyeonsu from LC9 when they debuted in 2013, they were so talented (he was like, only 16 then.) Since then, he's had a super long journey with many changes, he's really determined as he's still going after so many let downs and disapointments.
