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]

Concept
editMix Nine was a collaboration project between director Han Dong-chul, producer Yang Hyun-suk, and JTBC. Han Dong-chul, who was the executive producer of the first two seasons of Mnet's Produce 101 originally came with the concept for the show's third season.[7] The show had 400 auditions from more than 70 agencies which Yang and the guest judges personally visited.[8] Contestants included both trainees and lesser known K-pop idols looking to seek further attention.[9] According to Yang, good looks and have pleasing personalities are some of his preference in choosing the trainees, although not a requirement.[10] 170 trainees were chosen by Yang Hyun-suk and guest judges CL, Zion.T, Seungri, and Taeyang.[11][12][13]
After the agency tour concluded, the trainees were divided into four classes (Debut team, A, B, and C) to train and compete in ranking missions that were judged by a combination of judge evaluations and viewer voting.[14]
For the participants' training, several artists were recruited for the show. Vocal trainer and singer Ha Dong-kyun and singer Suran were in charge of the vocal training.[15] In addition, rapper Swings was their rap mentor,[16] while YG Entertainment dancers Kwon Young-deuk and Kwon Young-don were responsible for training.[17] With nine members each, the remaining male team would go against the remaining female team. The final group would promote for seven months.[18]
Pre-show and promotions
editOn September 18, a 2-minute video teaser was uploaded via YG Entertainment's YouTube in which Yang briefly described the show concept.[19][20] Through his Instagram account, Yang also constantly updated which companies he already visited and how many trainees had passed so far.[8][21] At the same time, the show also released photos of trainees who had undergone the audition, which included members from KNK, 24K, ONF, Loona, A.C.E and JJCC.[22]
On September 14, JTBC announced an upcoming press conference on the 19th.[23] On that day, the show's producers Han Dong-chul and Yoo Sung Mo attended a press conference held at the JTBC building,[7] and the confirmation of the show's premiere was announced to be on October 29.[24] On September 25, Noh Hong-cheol was announced to be the host of the show.[25] About a month after, JTBC released a representative image of the show on October 11 with the caption 'Save a Shining Boy and Girl' and the logo 9.[26][27] On the same day, another video teaser, in which singer Zion.T was announced as one of the judges of the show, was released.[12]
The day before the premiere of the show, the show's production presentation was held at a hotel near Hakdong Station. Yang Hyun-suk and Han Dong-cheol, together with Seungri and Zion.T attended the presentation.[13] On the same day, the participants singing and dancing to its theme song was released.[28] On November 19 two different versions of the song and music videos were released.[29] Three different versions of the song were released overall: Boys' version led by Hyojin of ONF, girls' version led by Lee Sujin from Fave Entertainment (now in Weeekly) and a co-ed version performed by both teams. Produced by Teddy, "Just Dance" was reported to be his first song produced for a non-YG Entertainment artist.[30]

Aftermath
editOn May 3, 2018, YG Entertainment revealed that the debut for the male winning group had been cancelled.[65][66]
On June 26, 2018, Happyface Entertainment, whose male trainee Woo Jin Young was set to debut as their center, filed a lawsuit against YG for 10 million Korean won (over 8,800 USD).[67] “More than to be compensated for all the damages we have received, this is a symbolic amount filed in our hopes that Korean popular culture, the home of hallyu, will progress healthily without the overuse of power by large companies," stated a source from Happyface.
On November 26, 2018, representatives from each company presented their arguments at the Seoul Central District Court. The court made the decision to proceed, and the next day of argument was set for January 16, 2019.[68]
