Hosted by Lee Seung Gi and broadcasted by JTBC, Peak Time is a new K-pop survival show where former Idols and newcomers alike will be competing for the chance to perform on stage in a globally broadcasted showcase in this brand-new survival reality program.
Peak Time Episode 8 is scheduled to release next week! Premiering its first episode on 15 February 2023 and set to release ten episodes in total, this reality TV show is made to revive the former boy bands that lost their charm and to give a boost of exposure to the more recent ones.
To know more about this Korean Survival Show and when the upcoming episode will be airing, stay tuned! As everything you need to know will be provided in this article.
Synopsis
Throughout the years, a lot of idol groups have lost their popularity and have failed to catch up to the ever-changing trends of the globe. There are various reasons why a band could fade from view, from prolonged hiatuses to sudden dissolution, significant lineup changes, or, more recently, simply blending into the background owing to the pandemic.
All these can be reasons why one may fall out of the spotlight. However, just because a group has lost its appeal doesn’t imply its members are prepared to disband. Having worked hard for many years, these K-pop idols have dedicated their lives to the industry, which cannot be let go of so easily.
These committed idols are now reentering the spotlight with a desire to prove themselves once more on this survival show, but it is ultimately up to them to decide whether or not they want to remain in this demanding industry.
The candidates will have the opportunity to learn and train under some of the most prominent figures in the field. However, how they put those teachings into practice will determine whether or not they succeed in attracting attention from the judges. Do these former stars have what it takes to shine again in a contest against newbies eager to seize the spotlight for themselves?
