Mix Nine (Hangul: 믹스나인, stylized as MIXNINE) was a South Korean survival reality show broadcast on JTBC. In the show, YG Entertainment founder and producer Yang Hyun-suk traveled to music agencies across Korea to find up-and-coming K-pop stars.[1][2][3] Throughout the episodes, contestants were progressively eliminated, culminating in a competition between a team of the final nine boys and one of the final nine girls. The winning team was to debut as idols,[4] but their debut was ultimately cancelled following contract disputes between YG Entertainment and the contestants' respective agencies.[5]
The season finale was broadcast live on January 26, 2018 at 11pm.[6]
