Editor's note

Produce 48 and the K-pop survival show sound

A 2018 reality competition that blended Korean and Japanese idol trainees into a temporary group.

If you want the essence of the show, start with 'Nekkoya (Pick Me)'. For something quieter, 'The Truth Untold' holds up.

The show's songs became hits in their own right, with 'Nekkoya (Pick Me)' serving as the anthem that launched the season. Tracks like 'The Truth Untold' and 'Instruction' showed the range of styles the contestants could handle, from ballads to dance-pop. It's a snapshot of how these programs shape pop music beyond just the final lineup.

Produce 48 aired in 2018 as a collaboration between Korean and Japanese producers, featuring trainees from both countries. The songs released during the season, like 'Merry Chri' and 'As I Dream (Korean Version)', documented the group's brief run before the winning members formed IZONE.

Archive material and source history

Produce 48 was formed through the 2018 survival show of the same name, which brought together trainees from South Korea and Japan. The final lineup included twelve members: Miyawaki Sakura, Kim Chae-won, Jo Yu-ri, Kang Hye-won, Choi Ye-na, Ahn Yu-jin, Kwon Eun-bi, Lee Chae-yeon, Han Cho-won, Jang Won-young, Kim Min-ju, and Lee Gaeun.

Their debut single "Rumor" came out in 2018 and became their most recognizable track. The song's popularity helped establish the group, though the show itself faced some criticism over its format and voting process.

Beyond "Rumor," they released other songs like "Nekkoya (Pick Me)" and "Handclap." The group's existence was always tied to the temporary nature of the survival show format, which meant their time together was limited from the start.
