Members of six of the most famous girls groups AOA, (G)I-dle, Lovelyz, Oh My Girl, and Park Bom from 2ne1 will meet face to face on the set of the newly announced TV show.

Mnet, a major K-Pop TV channel in South Korea, has announced a new survival show with the participation of top female artists. Actress Lee Da Hee and broadcaster Jang Sung Gyu are to be the MC’s of the show.

The premiere is scheduled for 29 August at 9:20 pm local time.
