Starship's large-scale global project 'Debut's Plan' showcasing the debut process of the new boy group this year has taken the hearts of K-pop fans worldwide, generating ongoing discussions. Meanwhile, attention is also focused on the activities of the trainers who are leading the stormy growth of New Kids.

In the first episode released on the 'New Kids on the Starship' YouTube channel on the 17th, the first plan that New Kids must complete to become the powerhouse 'New Kids 7' and earn powerful benefits was revealed, capturing attention. This evaluation introduced through the plan drew praise from key Starship officials, who noted, "Isn’t this like debuting?" This highlights the background of New Kids' rapid growth, stemming from the training of Starship's hitmakers.

K.Will, known as a 'luxury voice' and a key Starship official and special trainer, demonstrated an outstanding presence through heavy advice and detailed customized training drawn from years of experience. In particular, for beginners whose training experience is relatively low and who are just beginning to realize their dreams, K.Will provided broad and warm support with a big brother's smile, centering the program, while also enhancing the potential of New Kids, who struggled with vocalization and singing ability, through precise vocal training.

Shownu of Monsta X is captivating viewers as a special trainer, showcasing youthful sensibilities and trendy emotions, true to his reputation as a 'reliable performer.' He invigorates the program with comfortable training tailored to the stages divided by the training period of New Kids—from beginners to seniors. For capable New Kids, he encouraged them by saying, "I think you can grow into good artists," sparking hope for the future. With dance trainer Choi Young-jun, who shares the weight, they showed exemplary teamwork, thrilling K-pop fans.

WJSN's Yoo Yeon-jung, known as a powerful vocalist with a clear and appealing voice, is responsible for the voices and charm of New Kids. She checks the ability to deliver the theme song 'ImPerfect' from beginners to seniors, exhibiting a warm "older sister" vibe while appropriately mixing in both encouragement and criticism. At times, she sharply diagnosed with, "The other team is doing better, right?" helping to uplift latent abilities and a low atmosphere, leaving a strong impression by generously sharing her vocal know-how, from timing tips to vocal skills.

With the precise training from K-pop hitmakers, New Kids are experiencing rapid growth day by day, capturing the attention of K-pop fans worldwide. So far, the content released on the 'New Kids on the Starship' YouTube channel has surpassed 13 million views, with explosive comments on each episode, garnering tremendous popularity. Additionally, the theme song 'ImPerfect,' released on the 14th, is generating buzz and gradually expanding its popularity, charting on major music sites like Melon.
