SBS 'Young Talent Discovery: Infinity' Returns with Expanded Format After 7 Years

SBS's 'Young Talent Discovery' is making a comeback after seven years with an expanded format that promises to delve deeper into the stories of young prodigies.

Set to premiere in April, 'Young Talent Discovery: Infinity' goes beyond merely identifying talent. This new generational expansion project will follow the growth and transformation of these gifted individuals after their talents are discovered. The original 'Young Talent Discovery' series, which concluded in 2019, famously featured the early years of singer Jeong Dong-won.

'Young Talent Discovery: Infinity' will leverage the production expertise accumulated over the years to focus on six key areas, each represented by top prodigies. The show aims to present a multi-dimensional narrative that combines entertainment and documentary-style depth, showcasing the journey of talent development rather than just a one-time discovery.

The MC lineup is also noteworthy. Cha Tae-hyun, Mimi, and Mimiminu will join as hosts, adding empathy and reactions to the prodigies' stories and connecting viewers with the on-site experience. Cha Tae-hyun will bring his unique fatherly empathy and stable hosting skills, while Mimi will infuse the show with her bright and lively energy. Mimiminu will offer insights into the current realities and future prospects of today's prodigies, drawing from the sensibilities of 2026.

'Young Talent Discovery: Infinity' is set to air its first episode in April.
