“Boys Planet” has announced SHINee’s Key as the next Star Master!
Mnet’s “Boys Planet” is the new male version of the 2021 audition show that gave rise to Kep1er. Normally, a program would have one MC who would lead the contestants from start to finish. However, “Boys Planet” takes on a new system with “Star Masters,” who change with each mission. Each Star Master will be a senior artist who will act as a role model for the trainees and share different kinds of advice with them.
On March 23, “Boys Planet” announced that the program’s fifth Star Master is SHINee’s Key, who joins previous Star Masters Hwang Minhyun, Sunmi, Yeo Jin Goo, and BTOB‘s Minhyuk. Key is not only active as a member of SHINee and as a solo artist, but has also been active in numerous variety programs that earn him the nickname of “all-rounder cheat Key.”
Producing director (PD) Kim Shin Young of “Boys Planet” commented, “Even after 16 years into his career, Key is still a highly successful entertainer who is active in various fields. We invited him as the third Star Master because we believe that he will give generous support, encouragement, and warm advice to the trainees which will allow them to showcase their maximum potential and talent on the stage.”
The next episode of “Boys Planet” will feature the program’s second ranking ceremony and eliminations and will air today March 23 at 8:50 p.m. KST. Earlier on March 17, the program unveiled a partial spoiler of the result.
