Girls\u2019 Planet 999 is a survival show of 99 girls trying to make their idol dreams come true. Nine lucky girls who survive until the series finale will debut in the girl group Kep1er.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the most well-known K-pop groups were formed via a survival reality show. From TWICE, to Stray Kids, to IZ*ONE, and even more recently KATSEYE, getting to know the girls before they were stars gives them an deeper sense of character. With other potential trainees getting the chance to debut, it makes it all the more thrilling to see who gets that chance. Girls Planet 999 is no short of that hype, with a wide variety of contestants with great talent.<\/p>\n\n\n

Of the contestants, 33 members are each from Korea, China, and Japan. The girls are initially paired into cells, a group of three members each from the given countries. The girls vary in ages from 14 to 25, some of which have already debuted in other groups. Over 12 long episodes, the girls compete in missions challenging their singing, dancing, and stage presence. Voters across the world named \u201cPlanet Guardians\u201d decide who gets to have their dreams come true. Fans vote after every challenge, and after several elimination rounds, only nine members will get the chance to debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several missions of the show, being the highlight for the most part. <\/p>\n\n\n

Creation<\/strong> – Girls split into four teams, to perform new songs exclusive to the show. With official studio releases<\/a> of the song, those songs being (“Shoot!”, “Utopia”, “U+Me=LOVE”, “Snake”). There were official performances<\/a>, with promotional photos, Relay challenges, and everything. the quality was not scrapped. They started this before an elimination round having multiple teams of each song. After eliminations, only 26 girls remained. They then reblocked and swapped parts to narrow it down to only one team per song. “Snake” is my personal favorite, right next to “U+Me=LOVE”.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
