Production
[edit]Conception and development
[edit]Universe Ticket is a South Korean reality television show that features 82 contestants competing for a chance to debut in a global K-pop girl group. The program includes a series of missions and evaluations designed to assess the participants' singing, dancing, and overall performance abilities. The competition will ultimately result in the selection of eight final members, who will form a project-based girl group aimed at promoting to a global audience. The group will be active under a contract of 2 years and 6 months.[6] The group formed through the show will carry out activities in both the real world and the metaverse, incorporating virtual content and digital fan interactions as part of their official promotions. This dual concept reflects the increasing integration of technology and entertainment within the K-pop industry. The first teaser for the show was released on March 2, 2023. Further details about the format, mentors, and broadcast schedule were gradually revealed leading up to the show’s official premiere.
Casting
[edit]In January 2023, it was initially announced that the show would feature trainees between the ages of 10 and 19. However, when the official audition recruitment began in March 2023, the eligibility criteria were adjusted to allow any girls born before 2011 to apply. The application period for auditions ran from March 2 to May 14, 2023. After the application phase closed, successful applicants were individually notified between June 1 and June 10, 2023.
The profiles of the selected 82 contestants were introduced to the public through teaser videos released in two batches, on July 13 and July 17, 2023.[7] These teasers served as an initial presentation to help viewers begin to familiarize themselves with the participants through their visuals, allowing fans to form early impressions of the participants ahead of the show’s premiere.
On August 21, 2023, it was officially announced that several well-known K-pop artists would join the program as mentors. These included Kim Se-jeong, a former member of I.O.I and Gugudan; Hyoyeon of Girls’ Generation; Yeji and Chaeryeong of Itzy; and solo artists Younha and Adora.[8] Their involvement was confirmed ahead of the show’s premiere as part of the main mentorship lineup.
During the show, the mentors were assigned specific roles based on their areas of expertise. Kim Se-jeong, Younha, and Adora served as vocal judges, while Rian of dance crew LaChica joined as the dance judge. Hyoyeon took on the role of rap judge. Yeji and Chaeryeong participated as celebrity mentors, offering general guidance and support to the contestants. Additionally, Jang Sung-kyu appeared as the emcee during Episode 10.
Competition format and voting
[edit]The show centers on 82 contestants competing in a series of missions for the opportunity to debut in a global K-pop girl group. Eight finalists are ultimately selected to form a project group aimed at international audiences, with activities conducted both in the real world and the metaverse. The competition begins with Battle Week, where contestants engage in a 1-on-1 battle using their audition songs. Higher-ranked contestants (1st–41st) choose opponents from the lower half (42nd–82nd), with performances evaluated on vocal ability, dance precision, and stage presence. A Revenge Battle follows, offering a second chance through team-based competition between “Winners” and “Challengers,” with only four members receiving a Unicorn Pass for advancement. The next phase, Universe: Road to PRISM, includes a Level Test and Level Station, categorizing contestants into “High,” “Average,” and “Low” groups, each with differing advancement odds. High-ranked contestants perform original songs, while others perform covers, and compete within their tiers. For the next round, two stages were introduced in the Unit Station: the Position Unit and the New Song Unit. In Position Unit, participants choose between “Vocal,” “Visual,” and “Performance” units based on their strengths, with standout contestants earning Unicorn Tickets. In New Song Unit, participants are grouped to perform original songs, with eliminations based on votes from producers, judges, and fellow contestants. Those receiving two or more elimination votes are removed, while those with one vote undergo a 1-on-1 battle to determine their fate. The final phase, Final Station, involves performances under two concepts, “Dream” and “Prism,” where judges award final Unicorn Tickets. The show concludes with the selection of the final lineup through a combination of fan votes and Unicorn Ticketing, leading to the debut of the eight-member girl group Unis.

As "Battle Week" progresses, contestants are filled with both excitement and nervousness, knowing that each performance could determine their fate. Once the battle week concludes, the competition intensifies with the start of the "Revenge Battle." In this round, the contestants are split into two groups: the "Winners" and the "Challengers". Both groups are tasked with performing songs based on five different concepts: "Cute", "Enchanting", "Pure", "Sparkling", and "Charismatic". The teams will showcase their abilities by embodying these concepts, and the group with the best performance will win. The winning team will be rewarded with a chance to move on to the next round, but only four members will earn a direct pass to continue. The remaining contestants, both from the winning and losing teams, must rely on the votes to secure their spot in the next phase of the competition. | ||||

Following the intense "Revenge Battle", a total of 39 contestants successfully advance to the next stage of the competition. With the stakes growing even higher, the next phase, "Universe: Road to Prism", is officially introduced. In this stage, contestants must climb through five hierarchical levels within PRISM, each representing a step closer to their ultimate goal. Every contestant begins at the same starting level, "M," but their rankings will shift based on their performances and the points they accumulate throughout the competition. ONly 8 contestants who advance to the "P" level will earn PRISM tickets and make their debut. As they progress, their skills, stage presence, and determination will be tested more than ever, pushing them to prove that they deserve to reach the top. | ||||

The journey through "Universe: Road to PRISM" officially begins with its first major challenge, the "Level Station". In this stage, the contestants are evaluated individually and categorized into three ranks based on their overall skills and performance: "High", "Average", and "Low". Each ranking tier comes with different opportunities for advancement as well as risks of elimination. Contestants placed in the "High" category will see four members promoted to the next level, while two will face elimination. In the "Average" group, three contestants will be promoted, but an equal number of three will be eliminated. Meanwhile, those in the "Low" category face the greatest challenge, as only two will advance while four will be eliminated. To determine who will be promoted and who will be eliminated, each rank is further divided into two groups that will compete against each other. This additional layer of competition makes the stakes even higher, as contestants must outperform their direct competitors to secure their place in the next stage. With the number of promotions and eliminations varying across ranks, contestants must give their best performance to secure their spot in the competition. As the pressure intensifies, each decision and showcase becomes even more critical in determining their future on the Universe Ticket stage. | ||||

The "Level Station" continues, and the competition grows even more intense. Contestants push themselves to the limit, determined to avoid elimination and secure their place in the next round. The pressure takes an emotional toll, and tears are shed as some face the stress of proving themselves while others struggle with uncertainty about their future in the show. The atmosphere is charged with tension, as every contestant knows that their fate hangs in the balance. | ||||

|
After the "Level Station" concludes, it's time to place the contestants into their respective hierarchies within "Universe: Road to PRISM". The "Promotion Ceremony" introduces three distinct methods by which contestants can be promoted to higher ranks, each offering a different path to advancement. The first method is the "Unicorn Ticket", a highly coveted pass granted by the judges. This ticket is awarded to the contestants whose performances stand out the most, impressing the judges and earning them a direct promotion to the next level. The second method is "Fan Ticketing", where the power shifts to the fans. Based on their votes, fans can propel their favorite contestants forward, giving them a chance to move up the ranks. Finally, there’s the hidden "Candy Ticketing", a secret form of promotion that comes from the contestants themselves. This unique ticket allows fellow participants to vote for the contestants based on the given questions. However, for those who fail to secure promotion through any of these methods and remain stuck in rank "M," the consequences are harsh. These contestants will be eliminated from the competition, marking the end of their journey on Universe Ticket. With the pressure to advance mounting, every contestant must strive to secure their place in the next phase or face the risk of being sent home. | ||||

|
After the "Level Station", the competition moves into the next phase: the "Unit Station". This stage consists of two parts: the "Position Unit" and the "New Song Unit". The episode kicks off with the "Position Unit", where contestants are given the opportunity to choose their respective units based on their strengths and skills. The available units are "Vocal", "Visual", and "Performance", each focusing on different aspects of a contestant’s talent. Contestants must carefully select the unit that best aligns with their abilities, as this decision will play a crucial role in their journey forward in the competition. Throughout this process, the judges will be observing closely and awarding "Unicorn Tickets" to contestants who stand out the most in their performances, granting them direct advancement and recognition for their exceptional skills. | ||||
| 9 | "Episode.09: Debut D-7" (Korean: Episode.09: 데뷔 D-7) | January 10, 2024 | 0.7% | |
|
Right after the "Position Unit", the final part of the "Unit Station" begins, marking the last performance before the highly anticipated "Final Station" of "Universe: Road to PRISM". In this stage, the contestants are divided into two groups, each given a new song composed specifically for the show. These songs provide a fresh challenge, allowing the contestants to showcase their versatility and growth throughout the competition. The elimination process is unique, as it involves a vote from the producers, judges, and the contestants themselves. If a contestant receives two or more elimination votes, they are immediately eliminated from the competition. However, if they receive just one vote, along with other candidates, they will enter a one-on-one battle to determine who will be sent home. At the end of this intense round, the promotion ceremony takes place, determining which contestants will move on to the next stage and ultimately become finalists. This marks a crucial turning point in the competition, as the remaining contestants fight to secure their spot in the grand finale. | ||||
| 10 | "Episode.10: D-day" | January 17, 2024 | 0.6% | |
|
The "Final Station" of "Universe: Road to PRISM" begins, bringing the competition to its thrilling climax. In this stage, there are two key concepts: "Dream" and "Prism", with the contestants split into two groups, each performing for one of these themes. The performances will be judged closely, with the judges awarding "Unicorn Tickets" to the standout performers who impress the most, granting them a direct promotion to the next level. After the performances, the most exceptional contestants will be chosen to form the final debut group, named "Unis", short for "U&I Story" and "Universe is Started." This group will represent the culmination of all the hard work and talent showcased throughout the competition, marking the ultimate achievement for the remaining contestants. | ||||

Reception
[edit]Viewership ratings
[edit]According to Nielsen Korea, Universe Ticket maintained an average nationwide viewership rating of 0.5% throughout its broadcast from November 2023 to January 2024. The show’s highest-rated episode reached 1.1%, while the lowest dropped to 0.5%. Its final episode, aired on January 17, 2024, also recorded a 0.5% rating.[10] Overall, the program experienced limited domestic viewership during its run.
Business impact
[edit]The program was produced by F&F Entertainment in collaboration with SBS and marks F&F’s first major venture into the K-pop entertainment sector.[11] According to media reports, F&F invested over ₩10 billion to produce Universe Ticket alone, underscoring a significant commitment given that the company's initial capital was only ₩2 billion[12]. This level of investment was aligned with F&F’s broader strategy to diversify beyond fashion—leveraging its entertainment subsidiary to create cross-promotional synergies between its clothing business and the newly formed girl group, Unis. Industry insiders note that despite low domestic ratings, the show generated international engagement and provided brand exposure across multiple markets. This emphasis on long-term return aligns with the broader trend of K-pop survival programs, where initial losses are often recovered through global fandom, merchandise, and extended content strategies .
Aftermath
[edit]Unis debuted on March 27, 2024 with their mini album We Unis.[13]
- Vanesya (36th) will debut in the global girl group NWH:I.[14]
