My Teenage Girl (Korean: 방과후 설렘) was a South Korean reality competition series created by Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (abbreviated as MBC). It was intended to form a seven-member girl group with the potential to chart on Billboard. The contestants were put into age groups that specialize in vocals, rapping, and performance. A joint production between MBC and Phunky Studio (the company founded by Han Dong-chul of Produce 101), the show premiered on November 28, 2021, and was broadcast every Sunday at 9 pm KST for 12 weekly episodes until its finale on February 27, 2022. The finale was broadcast live and announced the seven winners to form Classy.
Over 30,000 applications were submitted from different countries and 83 contestants were chosen. The 83 contestants were separated into four groups based on their ages.
A second season called Fantasy Boys was aired in 2023.
