In a world where the thirst for fresh and innovative musical talent never ceases, a new vocal audition program, “Girls on Fire,” emerges from the renowned music entertainment house JTBC, slated to premiere on April 16 at 10:30 PM KST. This program is the latest venture by JTBC, a network known for its pedigree in music variety shows like “Superband” and “Phantom Singer.” “Girls on Fire” promises to be a melting pot of unique vocal talents, disregarding genre, age, nationality, or academic background in pursuit of forming the next ‘NEW K-POP’ female vocal group.
The excitement surrounding this launch is palpable, not least because of the involvement of veteran comedian Jang DoYeon, who takes the helm as the solo MC of an audition program for the first time in her 17-year career. The lineup of producers reads like a who’s who of the Korean music industry, with figures such as Yoon JongShin, Gaeko, Sunwoo Jung-a, Jung EunJi, Young K, and Kinky, all joining forces to sculpt the ultimate female vocal group, where every member is a main vocalist in their own right.
From the get-go, “Girls on Fire” promises an intense competition, with the initial episodes featuring a brutal ‘1 vs 1 battle’ format. Only one victor will advance directly to the next round, with the producers making the hard calls and no ties allowed. The 50 contestants, having survived three rigorous preliminary rounds, will not shy away from showcasing their talents in front of the six producers, each bringing their unique color and charm to the stage, fully armed to deliver 100% engaging performances. What sets this competition apart is its focus solely on vocal prowess, allowing contestants from diverse backgrounds, including a third-generation idol, a rising musical star, a winner of a YG audition, and a virtual singer, to clash in a battle of voices on an unprecedented scale.
“Girls on Fire” not only marks a significant milestone for JTBC but also for the global K-POP fan community, with its premiere being simultaneously broadcast on Japanese OTT platform Lemino, Taiwanese OTT platform friDay, and globally on Rakuten Viki, reaching approximately 190 countries and regions including the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Oceania, and India.
As “Girls on Fire” sets the stage alight with its high-octane blend of talent and competition, it represents a beacon for the future of K-POP, promising to unveil the next generation of female vocal powerhouses. With an eye on the global market from the outset, this show is not just a search for the next big thing in Korea but a testament to the ever-expanding influence of K-POP across the world. As viewers eagerly anticipate the premiere, the question on everyone’s lips is: who will emerge as the new female vocal sensation in K-POP’s ever-evolving landscape? Stay tuned for what promises to be an unforgettable journey of talent, determination, and groundbreaking performances.
