The premiere of SBS M's Korean-Japanese idol band survival program 'The Idol Band: Boy's Battle' is less than a week away!

'The Idol Band: Boy's Battle' is a fierce survival project aiming to discover the next global idol band who will follow in the footsteps of bands like F.T. Island, CNBLUE, and N.Flying. These three bands will be participating in the program as producers alongside Kankaku Piero and KEYTALK representing Japan, using their experience and keen senses to pick out the most talented young contestants. 

Competitors for 'The Idol Band: Boy's Battle' range from fully established teams to solo contestants in areas including vocals, guitar, bass, and drums. The competitors are from both Korea and Japan, with some boasting strong backgrounds such as former K-Pop and J-Pop idols, YouTubers, etc. 

During the first audition round, all contestants will compete one-on-one. Those chosen, or "cast" by the producers will be ranked "1st tier", while those who are not chosen will be ranked "2nd tier". Each of the producer teams will form their own bands with their lineup of 1st tier contestants, while 2nd tier contestants must work together to form their own impromptu teams and compete in the next mission round.

Hosted by SF9's Rowoon and Yabuki Nako, 'The Idol Band: Boy's Battle' premieres on December 6 at 9 PM KST!
