help The Unit: Idol Rebooting Project FAQ
Which K-pop groups were formed from The Unit: Idol Rebooting Project?
The KBS2 survival reality show created two temporary project groups: UNB for the male winners and UNI.T for the female winners. Both groups promoted for a set period of time under their respective contracts following the show's conclusion.
Who hosted and mentored the idols on The Unit?
K-pop soloist Rain (Jung Ji-hoon) served as the main mentor and 'master' for the competing contestants on the show. The program was hosted by Lee Hyori and aired on KBS2.
Why were some already-debuted idols not allowed to participate in The Unit?
To qualify for the rebooting project, idols had to have debuted at least three years prior and could not be from a highly successful major group. This strict rule was designed to give lesser-known or 'nugu' idols a legitimate second chance at fame.
Did UNB and UNI.T achieve mainstream K-pop success after the show?
Neither group achieved massive mainstream success, largely due to the inherent challenges of promoting temporary project groups. Both UNB and UNI.T officially disbanded by early 2019 after completing their scheduled promotional cycles.
