MANILA, Philippines – This February, the biggest K-pop stars and makers, together with the Kapatid Network, will finally open the doors to Be the Next: 9 Dreamers, the highly anticipated global collaboration between MLD Entertainment PH and TV5.

Be the Next: 9 Dreamers is a talent survival show which brings gifted individuals from across Asia to showcase their potential on the global stage. From the global audition held in 2024, the aspirants have been narrowed down to 74, whose dreams are about to take flight – but not without fighting their way to debut as part of a new 9-member boy group.

These dreamers will find themselves under the guidance of expert judges and mentors from the industry to become global idols. The exciting line-up includes 2NE1’s Sandara Park as the show’s emcee, with EXO-CBX Chen, MOMOLAND Hye-bin, AB6IX Woo-jin Park, Ye-dam Bang, and HORI7ON Vinci comprising the celebrity mentors. Leading K-pop choreographer Bae Wan Hee and producer Bullseye will participate as dance mentors.

Known Korean make-up artist and stylist Narae Park and hair salon JUNO HAIR will aid the boys in their transformation into certified K-pop heartthrobs.

Be the Next: 9 Dreamers airs on TV5’s Weekend Trip block at 7:15 PM this February 8. More details will be revealed about the program and the contestants in the coming weeks.
