Boy band Teen Top will star in one of MTV USA's upcoming shows this fall, making it the first time an idol group from Korea will be featured on American television.
Teen Top's agency T.O.P Media said that a program called Vice Guide to Everything will air on the music channel starting in September. It will be about how the boys train to become idol singers.
For three months starting in January, MTV USA had searched all of Asia for idols who have yet to make a debut, basing their research on how much musical talent and star quality they have, as well as reviewing the training system they would undergo.
A producer from MTV USA flew into Korea in April, shooting the process of how the boy band undergoes training in dancing, singing, a second language, miming, mannerisms and doing interviews.
"Neal, who is the lead vocalist, has the tone of a young Michael Jackson. They are fit to compete in markets overseas too because the English skills of one of their members is at the level of a native speaker," said an MTV associate who interacted directly with the boys on the show.
