Produce 48(2018)

Produce 48 is a 2018 reality competition series that puts fan power at the center of girl group creation. The show gathered 96 trainees from Japan and South Korea to compete for spots in a new 12-member group. Viewers voted not just for which members would debut, but also shaped the group's concept, name, and debut single. The winning lineup formed IZ*ONE, a Korean-Japanese group that would promote together for two and a half years. The series blends survival competition with interactive entertainment, letting audiences directly influence every major decision in launching a new act.
