Several K-Pop groups were formed through reality shows, broadcast on South Korean television music channels. Such was the case of Stray Kids, MONSTA X, ENHYPEN, TWICE or SEVENTEEN. In general, in these programs, a select group of trainees from the various record companies carry out artistic tests and as the project progresses, the members who will form part of “X” or “Y” group are chosen.
In July 2012, Pledis Entertainment, a company founded by Han Sung Soo, who was a dancer for various groups from SM Entertainment and YG Entertainment, announced that it would launch a boyband called SEVENTEEN.
