  • Hanbi
  • Songha
  • Kachin
  • Sadaharu
  • Tata
  • Daniel
  • Haruta
  • Hamin
  • Charlie
  • Jaewon

They are divided into three “decade classes”:

  • The 1990s team includes Nicholas, Katsho, Justin, Hyunjoon, and Woolin.
  • The 2000s group has Hanbi, Songha, Kachin, Sadaharu, and Tata.
  • The 2010s squad features Daniel, Haruta, Hamin, Charlie, and Jaewon.

Inside the show, the trainees live together full-time with no eliminations. They eat, sleep, and compete while preparing their own festival stages. Each class is themed by its decade, letting members experience the music, fashion, and culture of that era as they work toward their debut.

Its first interactive event, the “Class Name Selection” vote, is live and runs from September 17 at 11 am until September 20, 11:59 pm KST. Fans can pick a name for each generation’s class. To vote, open the Mnet Plus app, tap the “Class Name Selection Voting” banner, pick one choice from five options per class across three classes, and submit.

Each account can cast votes up to three times a day, resetting at midnight KST. Any suspicious or abnormal voting may be voided, and accounts could face temporary blocks. Participation also comes with rewards.
