While watching Kpop podcasts, I got this rec for a show called PeakTime, and it's pretty cool.
Idols who haven't quite made it where they want to be compete as teams to win a concert to get their name known. In fact, they are given numbers and not allowed to say the name of their former groups until they are disqualified, or they win.
I was super surprised to see one of the groups I follow get eliminated in round 1. Also, there are some hotshot veterans. RECOMMENDED
