THIS year, HyppTV, the Internet protocol television component of Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM), is collaborating with CJ E&M and CUBE Entertainment to bring the second season of tvN K-Pop Star Hunt to HyppTV on tvN HD (Channel 181).
“We are excited that Malaysia is part of the line-up this year as we know there are plenty of undiscovered talents here. The hunt is an international platform for those interested to showcase their talents and is also a learning ground to further hone and develop their skills to be the next star,” said Fox International Channels (FIC) Malaysia director and territory head Basil Chua at a Press conference on Tuesday at Menara TM in Kuala Lumpur.
Auditions for tvN K-Pop Star Hunt 2 will take place from September, and besides Malaysia, also new to the hunt are China and Indonesia.
Along with Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand, this brings the total of participating countries to nine.
“Korean Pop culture has been a great influence in Malaysia too and the fan base here is immense. We look forward to finding a talent from Malaysia who embodies all the qualities of a star to represent the nation on an international level,” said TM new media executive vicepresident Jeremy Kung.
“TM has always been an enabler in the business and telecommunications segment and we are glad to collaborate with FIC to be the platform provider for the hunt in Malaysia and we are proud that HyppTV will be the first to air the series in Malaysia.”
FIC tvN programming vicepresident Eddy Tan said: “Contestants can sing in any language as the only requirement is singing and dancing.” Also present at the Press conference was CUBE Entertainment judge Park Jae Hyun.
Those interested, upload your best K-pop song and/or dance videos to the tvN K-Pop Star Hunt website at http://www.tvnstarhunt2.com. Participants of any age are eligible, and closing date for submissions is Aug 31.
