Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
2020 was peak survival show era in K-pop, with this format riding the wave of Produce 101's influence without the voting scandal baggage.
Rocket Punch and ONEUS were already established by 2020, making their 'rookie' label more marketing than reality — a classic K-pop timeline compression trick.
