20 people were selected out of 120,000 total applicants. I'm not sure how successful it will be but, for the sake of those who made it, I hope it is. Chairman Bang also said, "In order for k-pop to become a truly global mainstream, it needs to get rid of the "K" and just become pop." Well, I just hope it doesn't become too westernized and remains unique. And true k-pop needs to keep the "K"!
