The truth behind Mnet programs 'Produce X' and 'Idol School' has been revealed.
In a report that aired on the 3rd, MBC 'News Desk' interviewed trainee 'A' who participated in 'Produce X 101' and revealed, "From the beginning, the production team only filmed and trained only certain trainees to appear on TV. Some of the trainees even knew the mission song in advance to practice for it. When we asked how he knew the mission song, he said his dance teacher told him."
A trainee from 'Idol School' also spoke with MBC about her experience and stated, "The trainees on the show were supposed to have been chosen after the first round of auditions but many of them made it on the show without even showing up for the audition."
She continued, "When we did audition, of the 3,000 people that had applied to audition, only 40 people actually showed up. Of the 40 that showed up, only 4 of us auditioned."
In the meantime, police have expanded the scope of their investigation to include not only Mnet's 'Produce X 101' but also prior series 'Produce 101' and 'Produce 48.'
