BOYS II PLANET K: Mnet’s Ambitious Twin Survival Show Returns with DKB’s Heechan & Harry June
Mnet is gearing up for another landmark in the world of K-pop with its upcoming survival program “BOYS II PLANET K,” which officially begins filming on May 11, 2025.
What to Expect from Boys II Planet K in 2025
“BOYS II PLANET” is the first-ever K-pop twin project, featuring two simultaneous shows—BOYS II PLANET K and BOYS II PLANET C—that share a common format and storyline but aim to form separate debut groups in Korean and Chinese, appealing to a wide international fanbase.
A production team that previously created the fifth-generation boy group ZEROBASEONE through the hit series “Boys Planet” returns to steer this new project. Fans are hopeful that “BOYS II PLANET K” will follow in those successful footsteps and introduce the next wave of K-pop stars.
This season adds another twist: it brings together a rich mix of contestants—from idols who have already debuted, such as members of VERIVERY, WHIB and DKB, to fresh-faced trainees making their first public appearance. This diversity is expected to create dynamic performances and fierce competition.
DKB Heechan & Harry June Join Boys II Planet
On May 9, MyDaily reported that DKB members Heechan and Harry June will participate in “BOYS II PLANET.”
DKB, an 8-member boy group under Brave Entertainment, debuted in 2020 and is known for its hip-hop-based performances and all-round self-production capabilities, including songwriting, composing, and choreography. The group gained attention by placing in the TOP 4 on JTBC’s 2023 survival show Peak Time.
Now, Heechan and Harry June are gearing up for another survival challenge on “BOYS II PLANET.” Earlier the same day, DKB’s official fan café announced that the two members would temporarily halt team activities starting May 10 due to personal reasons. The group will continue promotions as a 5-member unit for the time being.
As anticipation builds, fans and industry insiders alike are watching closely to see whether “BOYS II PLANET K” will give birth to the next K-pop sensation.
