Taiwan's male idol talent show "Atom Boyz", which will be broadcast in April 2022, is Taiwan's second male idol talent show after "Be The One A-level Battlefield" (2021)[1]. The "Atomic Youth" program divides 80 contestants into eight planets with different attributes according to the style of each planet, and finally two groups of five male idol groups will be selected. Since the 1990s, popular cultures such as Korean dramas, movies and music have swept the world, and the development of K-POP has brought a new chapter to Taiwan's cultural and creative industry.
Taiwan's "Atomic Youth" talent show, whether it is the program format, music production, to the shaping of idol characters, is all connected with the culture of Korean pop music (K-POP), and you can also see its influence. 1. How does Korean culture photo retouching influence Taiwan? (1) Talent show When it comes to Korean talent shows, the "PRODUCE" series hosted by Mnet is an iconic representative of the genre. Comparing the men's team talent shows "PRODUCE 101" (Season 2) and "Atomic Boys", we can see the similarities: the show focuses on "idol development", and fans can vote for their favorite players to influence their debut ranking.
You can also participate in the "training process of amateur idols" through the weekly program. The mechanism of this kind of draft allows players to show their personal charm in addition to cultivating basic singing and dancing skills to get votes from fans. Compared with making debut as the ultimate goal, how the players create an image and accumulate popularity in the show seems to be a more important issue. Taking the Taiwanese girl group talent show "Lingge Generation DD52"[2] as an example, in addition to the debut of the champion group GOF and the popular group PINK FUN, some entertainment companies signed some unqualified members to form a six-member girl group HUR.
