'Boys II Planet' will determine the 24 contestants advancing to the semi-finals through the second survival announcement ceremony. The third global voting results, closing on the 29th at 10 AM, will decide 23 survivors, while the lowest-ranked contestant will be determined through real-time voting during the live streaming of the announcement ceremony at 3 PM on the same day. The anticipation builds for unexpected twists and drama.

Meanwhile, according to Good Data Corporation's FUNdex, 'Boys II Planet' has maintained the top spot in the TV & OTT buzz category for three consecutive weeks in August, proving its dominance in global K-POP survival shows.
