Girls Planet 999

Sign in to edit

Girls Planet 999: The Girls Saga (걸스플래닛999: 소녀대전), simply referred to as Girls Planet 999 (걸스플래닛999) was a survival show that broadcasted on Mnet.

The show's first episode broadcasted on Friday, August 6, 2021 at 8:20 PM (KST) and ran every Friday with 12 episodes in total.[2]

The final episode aired on October 22, 2021 where the final top 9 contestants were announced.

Concept[]

Girls Planet 999 was based on the themes and aesthetics of space where each of the three groups (Korea, China, Japan) represent a 'Planet'. In addition to the three 'Planets', there was a 'Master Council' made up of the two 'K-pop Masters' whose roles were to mentor the 99 girls, four 'Vocal/Dance Masters' who trained the contestants' vocal, rap, and dance skills, and the 'Planet Master' who was the MC with the role of connecting the viewers with the show. Outside of the 'Master Council' were the fans and audience, also known as the 'Planet Guardians', who had the role of determining the ranks of each contestant and ultimately the outcome of Girls Planet 999.[3] The mobile app and web platform 'UNIVERSE' had the purpose of connecting the contestants and the 'Planet Guardians' through voting and other forms of media (such as video clips and photos featuring the contestants).

Background[]

On January 11, 2021, a teaser was dropped for Mnet's new survival show, Girls Planet 999. The show consisted of female contestants from Korea, China, and Japan who shared the same dream of debuting in a girl group. The voting was done through NCSOFT's new platform, UNIVERSE. Auditions for potential contestants were held throughout February 2021.[4]

On May 25, 2021, it was announced that the show would start broadcasting in August of 2021.[5] On July 6, 2021, it was revealed that Girls Planet 999 would finally air on August 6 at 8:20 PM KST.[2]

Ahead of the premier episode, the show's theme song, "O.O.O" was released digitally across music platforms on July 12, 2021.[6][7] In the same week, official performance videos were released featuring each group performing the theme song, and individual profiles of the K-Group contestants were also revealed.[8][9][10]

Next, the 99 contestants are slowly unveiled as they enter the main stage and are seated in pairs of 3, each from a different Group (K, C, J). It is revealed that each individual pair of 3 is referred to as a 'Cell', the smallest unit of Girls Planet 999, and each Cell may survive or be eliminated together by the votes of Planet Guardians. However, they may form new Cells with new people to guarantee survival if they earn a 'TOP9 Candidate' pass from the K-pop Masters and Vocal/Dance Masters, with selection priority given to the final 'TOP9' out of all 'TOP9 Candidates'. With this, the first half of the stage performance begins, named 'Planet Demo Stage'.

The panel members have selected the TOP9 contestants, who are announced to be [in order], Ezaki Hikaru, Kang Yeseo, Shen Xiaoting, Su Ruiqi, Jeong Jiyoon, Seo Youngeun, Yujin, Cai Bing and Kuwahara Ayana. The TOP9 in order of priority select new Cells members, while the remaining contestants chose to either reorganize or remain in their current Cell. With the new Cell arrangements, the contestants end the day and rest in their dorms.

The next morning, the contestants waken to a 'Morning Mission' challenge in which Cell members separately attempt to find one another's baby portraits laid out on a table; the first Cell to complete the challenge earned 1st place, with the last Cell in 33rd place.

Later, the contestants gather in front of Planet Master Yeo Jingoo who introduces the next performance stage, named the 'Connect Mission', where 3 Cells will perform one song as a team.

Trivia[]

  • In China, the show is also known as 少女星球999：少女們的盛典, while in Japan, it is also known as ガールズプラネット999：少女祭典. Both roughly translate to 'Girls Planet 999: The Girls Saga,' albeit rather than 'saga' (대전), it is translated as 'grand ceremony' (盛典) in Chinese and 'festival' (祭典) in Japanese. Additionally, in Japan, the show is better known by its abbreviations ガルプラ999 (Garupura999) and ガルプラ (Garupura).
  • The three categories do not necessarily correspond to nationality; being in the K-Group does not require one to be a Korean citizen, but merely to have some form of connection to Korea, which may be through nationality, spoken language, ethnic identity, residency or being signed with an agency based in Korea. Likewise, the same goes for the C-Group and the J-group.[22]
  • Contestants from the C-Group include contestants from the Greater China region which encompasses Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
  • It was revealed through an article that Girls Planet 999 received approximately 13,000 contestant applicants.[23]
