Producers of SBS‘s ‘K-Pop Star‘ have revealed that they are strongly considering a second season for the hit audition program.
On January 30th, PD Park Sung Hoon met with reporters and revealed, “We’ve begun considering a second season for ‘K-Pop Star’. In order for there to be a second season, though, we need to discover a winner with the potential to become a star within the first season.”
‘K-Pop Star’ was launched on December 4th of 2011, so the show is hoping to come out with a winner by at least April. They’ve yet to reach any milestones, but the program itself has been acknowledged by viewers and the industry alike.
The second season must also rely on the return of participation by SM, YG, and JYP Entertainment, especially since this is one of the defining factors of the show that sets it apart from the other audition programs.
Another representative stated, “Our priority lies in the discovery of a season one star first. We’ll discuss a second season after then.”
The show will begin its live broadcast format starting February after the announcement of the ‘Top 10′.
