Vick Hope has joined a new BBC K-Pop reality show after enjoying a jet-setting holiday in Ibiza and Paris.
The 34-year-old radio host will narrate the series Made in Korea: The K-Pop experience, which will follow five singers on their journey to become the next boy band.
The host will follow their story as it unfolds, charting the journey of the five aspiring musicians through grueling K-Pop-style training.
Vick, who already presents BBC Radio 1’s Drive and ITV’s Vick Hope’s Breakfast Show, has revealed she is excited about her new role.
She said: “I’m really looking forward to being a part of the show, it’s a new way to introduce a new boy band and I’m excited to see their journey.”
Vick Hope, 34, has signed up for a new BBC K-Pop reality show after enjoying holidays in Ibiza and Paris with husband Calvin Harris, 40.
The 34-year-old radio host will narrate the series Made in Korea: The K-Pop experience, which will follow five singers on their journey to become the next boy band.
Cameras will be placed behind closed doors at the K-Pop talent center for the first time to witness the band working with the world’s top choreographers and composers.
The band members are Blaise Noon, 19, a former BRIT School pupil, Dexter Greenwood, 22, and James Sharp, a 23-year-old content creator from Huddersfield.
The other two members are Olly Quinn, 20, who was a backing vocalist growing up and is now breaking into the world of pop, and Reese Carter, also 20, who previously worked as a cruise ship performer but is now pursuing her dreams of being in a boy band.
The six-part series will follow Blaise, Dexter, James, Oliver and Reese as they go through the K-pop training process with the goal of launching Dear Alice, a new boy band, onto the world stage.
Cameras will be placed behind closed doors at SM Entertainment’s K-pop talent center for the first time to witness the band working with the world’s top choreographers, singing songs from top songwriters, and receiving mentorship from some of the most revered experts in the K-Pop business.
Filmed in South Korea, the show will immerse aspiring pop stars in K-pop culture.
They will undergo the original K-pop training process for 100 days, including choreography, vocal and acting lessons, life coaching techniques, along with an immersion in all aspects of Korean life, set against the stunning backdrop of Seoul and iconic K-pop locations.
Every week, the band’s progress is critiqued by the undisputed K-pop expert, Hee Jun Yoon, the creative force behind some of the biggest K-pop bands of the past 20 years.
Meanwhile, X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent mogul Simon Cowell has embarked on a quest to find the next One Direction after admitting there hasn’t been a group as successful since, with plans for the search to feature in a Netflix documentary called The Midas Touch.
Vick Hope looked more in love than ever with husband Calvin Harris as she shared a glimpse of her summer so far with several leggy photos.
In one snap she was seen putting on a daring display in a plunging gold mesh dress with a fringed skirt and halterneck design, showing off a large side bust, alongside Calvin and Flavor Flav.
Simon Cowell has revealed his search for the “next One Direction” will include a “never-before-seen” format, following a disappointing turnout in the first round of auditions.
The music mogul recently embarked on a quest to find the next incarnation of the boy band after admitting there hadn’t been a group this successful since One Direction (pictured in 2014).
And speaking on This Morning, Simon admitted he has “no idea” what the format of his show will be.
He told Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary: ‘I have no idea how this is going to end because until we find the band that’s it, but there’s something I’m going to do in the middle that I’ve never done before which I’ll tell you about later.’
Vick’s latest project comes after enjoying a jet-setting summer, spending holidays in Ibiza and Paris.
The star looked more in love than ever with her husband Calvin Harris, 40, as she shared a glimpse of her summer so far with several photos of her legs on Instagram.
In one snap she was seen putting on a daring display in a gold mesh dress, with a fringed skirt and halterneck design, showing off some significant side boobs.
Vick approached Calvin, who gave him a glimpse of his toned chest in a patterned shirt, partially unbuttoned.
And the pair were seen mingling with some famous faces including rapper Flavor Flav, Radio 1 DJ Arielle Free and Love Island star Olivia Attwood.
Vick also shared photos of herself laughing as she presented a birthday cake to her younger brother, Gabe, 26.
Showing off her jet-set lifestyle, she included snaps of herself in Paris, as well as watching Calvin perform in Ibiza.
