Mnet’s “Boys Planet” production team said:

“Please note a total of 98 boys from K Group with a new and reckless individuality based on their outstanding skills, and from Group G with new and diverse charms that I have never seen. As soon as their potential becomes one with the support fans, the boy group’s growth story will explode.”
