“Boys Planet” Announces Yeo Jin Goo As 3rd Star Master
Mnet’s “Boys Planet” is the new male version of the 2021 audition show that gave rise to Kep1er. Normally, a program would have one MC who would lead the contestants from start to finish. However, “Boys Planet” takes on a new system with “Star Masters,” who change with each mission. Each Star Master will be a senior artist who will act as a role model for the trainees and share different kinds of advice with them.
On February 21, Yeo Jin Goo was announced as the program’s third Star Master, following Hwang Minhyun and Sunmi. Hwang Minhyun was introduced as “Boys Planet” first Star Master in January. Hwang Minhyun participated in Mnet’s “Produce 101 Season 2” in 2017 and debuted in the top 11 as a member of the project group Wanna One. The second Star Master was Sunmi, who has been active in the industry for a long time as a member of Wonder Girls and a solo artist with many hit songs.
“Boys Planet” producing director (PD) Kim Shin Young commented, “Yeo Jin Goo got to where he’s at now with his hard work and unwavering passion to achieve his dream of becoming an actor from a young age.” He added, “We invited him as the third Star Master because we believe that he can fully understand the dreams of the trainees and give generous support and advice as a senior in the entertainment industry.”
Yeo Jin Goo will participate as Star Master in the first elimination round of the show.
The first global vote will end on February 24 at 10 p.m. KST, and the next episode of “Boys Planet” will air on February 23 at 8 p.m. KST.
