P Nation (Psy's record label) released a new introduction film for its trainees from SBS's show "LOUD!"
Trainees are doing their best to survive 'LOUD!'
"LOUD!" is a program which JYP Entertainment four Jin Young Park and P Nation founder Psy set to create two new boy groups that will debut solely under their agencies. The program emphasizes not only the singing and dancing skills of the participants but also their talents in a wide range of fields, including songwriting, producing, musical instruments, and fine arts.
The show is unique because JYP and PSY will both be creating their own idol groups from the winners of the show. The title "IDOL" won't be given to only one but two new boy groups.
On "LOUD"'s latest episode, 19 of the program's remaining contestants have been cast into either P Nation or JYP Entertainment. The remaining participants will then move on to the next round of the competition, which will be showing live next week. This will launch the first of the show's three live rounds.
