But the thing with these type of shows, the hype is high but as soon as a country's representative gets taken out, the interest of that country usually goes away too... like with UNIS, it was so big then, but as soon as the other contestants got cut, it also killed the interest of their homeland.

kpop group with mostly non korean members might not hit it big. With this concept it's so hard to go mainstream.
