MNET's 'BOYS II PLANET' Goes Global With Livestream Networks
Now, the popular series has expanded to stream live across 251 countries and regions via global K-pop content platform MNET Plus, starting with this week's new episode. The series, dubbed 'Star Creators,' utilizes fans from around the world to help select the next great K-pop act.
The first season of BOYS PLANET launched the popular fifth-generation group, ZEROBASEONE. Now, it's time for another group to be formed.
What is BOYS II PLANET?
Created by MNET, the South Korean reality competition survival show has 160 Asian contestants from all over the world, separating them into two planets – Planet K and Planet C. Planet K primarily has talent of Korean descent, alongside some from Japan, Thailand, the U.S., and various other countries from around the globe. Planet C consists mainly of Chinese contestants.
Several of these contestants are from K-pop and C-pop groups, but are on loan from their management company to compete and potentially join the winning group temporarily. There are also a few actors in the mix.
Each week, the contestants perform and are evaluated by judges and Star Creators (global voting). Now that it has opened up to international viewers, more people from around the world can participate in the voting.
After beginning with two separate planets – PLANET K and PLANET C, the show now continues as one unified journey toward the global K-pop debut starting this week's episode on Thursday, 9:20 PM KST (5:20 AM PST / 8:20 AM EST).

RIIZE's Seugnhan Returns As XngHan With Solo Debut ‘Waste No Time'
When Seunghan debuted onto the K-pop scene with RIIZE in 2023, the boy band stood out for sharing themselves through a mix of unfiltered social-media aesthetic blended with a pristinely polished pop sound. After a back-and-forth exit from the group and rebrand as XngHan, the 21-year-old has recaptured that same authenticity he embodied early in his career for his comeback as a solo artist with his new dance project XngHan&Xoul. A crew consisting of XngHan with dancers Kyohong and Yul, the trio debuted with Waste No Time on Thursday, July 31, featuring two songs in the title track and 'Heavenly Blue.' The trio first previewed the euphoric dance-pop sound of the record in an intro video released on July 23 that highlights XngHan's knack for airy falsetto notes. The actual video introduces XngHan dancing on his own, but soon sees Kyohong and Yul join him as the visual cuts from a flashy, choreographed rain scene to lo-fi hangout clips. 'Waste No Time' is the official debut single of XngHan&Xoul that takes a similarly bright synth-pop sound, but gives it greater mainstream appeal with a repetitive chorus built around double-kick bass drum effects. Amid experimental tempo shifts, XngHan lets his impressive falsetto fly again while the song sprinkles peppy brass, trap beats and shout-along chants to up its allure for listeners beyond the dance-pop crowd. The accompanying music video sees XngHan&Xoul coming together to perform and live their best lives. The direction of the visual does a particularly great job highlighting some of the advantages that a rare K-pop trio shows since every member can be featured in action shots like when they drive an off-road go-kart or run through a herd of goats. Another highlight comes in how the guys can playfully dance with one another in a garage, with their moves coming off more realistic and relatable than, say, a large K-pop group or a troupe of back-up dancers, which wouldn't fit the laidback nature of the visual. Beyond his music and visuals, XngHan is also not shying away from more challenging questions or even recognizing his former band mates — a refreshing moment for authenticity in the sometimes buttoned-up K-pop world. 'I know that RIIZE is doing so well and I'm rooting for them as a fellow artist,' he told The Hollywood Reporter when asked if he had hopes for his members. 'I hope they stay healthy and well. [Since] I'm also preparing my new launch as a soloist, I hope people stay tuned [for my debut]. I'm really going to pour my heart and soul into this.' Similar to the 'Waste No Time' message of wanting to seize the moment and move forward without fear, XngHan has a positive attitude in looking forward in his new start and encouraging others to do the same, calling this solo debut 'a new beginning for me.' 'I hope everyone can look at me from a fresh perspective,' he added to THR. 'I just hope that when fans watch my performance and see me performing live, they get so excited and happy. They can't help but dance. That's what I want the fans to view me as. When I'm on stage, I want to be remembered as an artist who just lights the stage on fire and nails every performance.' Whether you knew him as Seunghan the SM Entertainment trainee or are just getting to know him today as XngHan, officially meet XngHan&Xoul below with the 'Waste No Time' music video.

Your Daily TeenScope for August 02, 2025
Let's face it—most 'teen' horoscopes are written by folks whose ages haven't ended with '-teen' since 2002 and are subsequently pretty cringe. We can't guarantee that our daily horo will never be cringe, but we can guarantee that it'll at least be useful. Aries Let other folks set the pace of the day -- even if you'd rather be doing other stuff. Every now and then it's a good idea to include others, and now your mind is in just the right state for it. Taurus Do you have a touch of hypochondria? Chill out and let nature take its course -- that little cold or whatever isn't a sign of anything big or crazy. Take it easy, though! Gemini Are you in the mood for love? You may have some coming, as long as you're open to surprises. You never know who's interested, so unless you're already involved, look around all over! Cancer Work together with a friend or sibling -- you should find it easier than ever to use teamwork to get what you want. It may be short lived, or it may lead to something more permanent.
