Chapter 630: A Trainee Then, A Mentor Now

The Rising Stars commercial featuring June aired the day after it was filmed, and it became a hot topic not only in Korea but around the world.

K-pop was already a global phenomenon, so people didn't only tune in to their favorite artists' songs but also to survival shows.

More companies were employing the 'survival show' concept to create their groups, and they also gave birth to a lot of popular groups. It gave them the chance to market their trainees and make them known even though they hadn't debuted yet.

Some groups that have debuted in the past year were NTC WHOOSH, TODDLERMONSTER, and ILLEST.

However, even with the success of these groups, the most popular survival show was still undoubtedly 'Rising Stars.' Azure just knew how to create a tension-filled survival show.

Moreover, with EVE's rise to fame, people became more aware of Rising Stars. So, now that the fifth season was going to commence, more people were tuning in.
