With 'Boys' Fantasy - After School Excitement Season 2' (hereinafter referred to as 'Boys' Fantasy') produced by producer Han Dong-cheol premiering on the 30th of last month, the visuals of the participants are attracting attention.
From Hong Seong-min, the protagonist of the teaser video, to center Yoo Jun-won of the signature song 'FANTASY', to Kang Dae-hyun, the 'second Kang Daniel' who went viral on social media with his unexpected charm, Hikaru and Hikari from Japan, Soul from a Chinese audition program, and Thai actor Santa. 'Boys' Fantasy', which featured a large number of participants with inseparable visuals, successfully targeted the MZ generation, the program's main viewer base, and established itself as a visual content.
'Boys' Fantasy' is showing off the enthusiasm of global voting with just one episode broadcast. As fans of K-pop from around the world are interested, the number of participants supporting each country is diverse. Hong Seong-min and Kang Dae-hyun are on the rise in Korea, Yoo Jun-won in Japan, Soul and Ling Chi in China, and Santa in Thailand. The chemistry between the participants also attracts attention.
