Eunice, Kpopmap EditorThe K-Pop scene keeps growing, with more groups emerging and the competition getting fiercer.

Nowadays, these shows even let global fans vote for their favorite members. It's a chance for everyone to shine, and while not everyone debuts right away, it's a fantastic platform to gather fans and catch the eye of talent scouts.
In 2024, there's a lineup of new survival shows hitting the screens. We're excited to see the rising talents and the groups that'll come out of these shows. Below is a list of these upcoming survival shows! We will be updating this list as news about survival shows are out so stay tuned!

"I-LAND 2," an upcoming reality survival show co-produced by CJ ENM, WAKEONE, and THEBLACKLABEL, is set to air on Mnet in April 2024. The program is a sequel to the 2020 show "I-LAND," which previously introduced the boy group ENHYPEN. This program will follow the creation process of WAKEONE's new girl group, serving as their debut reality show.
Mnet has announced a new survival program, "Build Up: Vocal Boy Group Survival," where diverse passionate vocalists will gather to make an outstanding vocal boy group. Actress Lee DaHee was said to lead as the sole MC of the program. The project aims for a unique vocal group, focusing on groundbreaking singing techniques and diverse performances. PENTAGON's YeoOne and members from groups WEi, BDC, VANNER, UP10TION, JUST B, KNK, AB6iX, CIX, ONE PACT, NewKidd, and ACE are also reported to participate in the show. "Build Up: Vocal Boy Group Survival" premiered on January 26th, 2024, and is airing every Friday at 10:10 PM KST.
UTOPIA Label is gearing up for the debut of their first girl group, slated for Q4 2023 or early 2024 through the Utopia Girl Group Project. It was announced by the agency that they are considering 7 girls for participation, although this information is yet to be confirmed by both the selected participants and the agency.
