Mnet's 'Unpretty Rapstar: Hip Pop Princess' opened profile photos of 40 contestants who have different backgrounds and personalities.
On the 9th, Mnet's 'Unpretty Rapstar: Hip Pop Princess' (hereafter "Hip Pop Princess") released profile photos of 40 contestants. Previously, through the official trailer, the contestants who moved between hip-hop, K-POP, J-POP and captivated attention with their confident energy revealed their identities as the veil was lifted.
With an average age reported as 17, the Korean and Japanese contestants of "Hip Pop Princess" showed individual personalities and kitschy charm in their profile photos. Among the released contestants are many with diverse backgrounds that raise expectations for discovering raw potential, including those with previous audition program appearances or debut experience, students at prestigious universities, winners of cheerleading dance competitions, former student council presidents, and teenage girls who own multiple self-composed songs.
"Hip Pop Princess" is a new Korea-Japan joint hip-hop girl group birth project presented by Mnet. Aiming to create a new global hip-hop girl group, contestants participate directly in all processes, including music, choreography, styling and video production, revealing their own colors. As hip-hop mediates the clash and fusion of different cultures of Korea and Japan, contestants are expected to create new cultures and grow into artists with distinct identities. To this end, main producers who shine with top-tier presence — Soyeon of (G)I-DLE, Gaeko, Riehata, and Iwata Takanori — have joined forces, further heightening anticipation for "Hip Pop Princess."
Featuring contestants with distinct identities such as hip-hop, K-POP and J-POP who will challenge beyond language, cultural and generational barriers, the Korea-Japan joint survival show "Hip Pop Princess" will premiere on Mnet on Oct. 16 (Thu.) at 9:50 p.m. and will be simultaneously streamed in Japan via U-NEXT.
