Welcome back!
We’re going to do something a
little different. First, meet the K-pop
boy band TREASURE.

and ages
TREASURE was formed in 2019 on a survival reality show called YG Treasure Box. We are not going to be recapping YG Treasure Box.
The group members ranged in age from 15-17 when they debuted. They’ve had some lineup changes over the years, and now their age range is 19-25, and they want to do something very shocking and possibly life-threatening in the world of K-pop. They want to start dating women. And they will be doing this on a reality dating show called Shining SOLO. This is the show we’ll be watching.
Shining SOLO aired in Korea earlier this year, from March 3rd to May 5th, 2024. The series has 10 hour-long episodes, once again courtesy of Rakuten Viki. I know almost nothing about TREASURE except for the fact that they have a very long and complicated history with a rescheduled debut, scandals, mixed reactions from fans, solo projects, and members leaving. (I’m actually familiar with former member Bang Yedam, who has a song called “Only One,” which I absolutely love. I didn’t know until now that he used to be part of this group.)
I have no idea what to expect from this show or this group, so for color commentary along the way, I’ll leave the viewer live comments on. According to the reviews on Viki, this is one of the FUNNIEST shows EVER in the history of ANYTHING, so I’m prepared to have my mind blown. (I love my fellow K-pop fans, but we can be a bit hyperbolic.)
Join me as we watch a K-pop group
either find love or face the wrath of toxic fans and their protest trucks. Either way, this should be fun. Let’s go!
