'Boy's Fantasy', first broadcast postponed "due to global OTT broadcast"

The first broadcast of ‘Boys’ Fantasy’ was postponed.

On the 17th, MBC's 'Boys' Fantasy - After-School Excitement Season 2 (hereinafter referred to as Boys' Fantasy)' said, "The first broadcast of 'Boys' Fantasy' has been postponed by one week. Simultaneous broadcasts will be held on Japan's largest OTT platform ABEMA and Naver NOW. “We have decided to postpone the first broadcast date to broadcast on the desired global OTT platforms,” he said.

He continued, "Thanks to the anticipation of 'Boys' Fantasy', there are many requests from global platforms such as the Americas and Europe. As various tasks such as subtitles and translation are needed for content distribution, it is scheduled to be broadcast for the first time at 10 pm on March 23rd to 30th. “This is it. We ask for the understanding of the many people who are waiting for the program,” he added.

'Boy Fantasy' is an idol survival project to create a global boy group, produced by producer Han Dong-cheol, who created 'Produce 101', 'Unpretty Rapstar', and 'Show Me the Money'. From the production stage, more than 1,000 applicants from around the world flocked to the project.

'Boys' Fantasy', which is attracting global attention, is positively considering simultaneous broadcasting not only in Japan but also in the Americas, Europe, Oceania, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and India.
