R U Next?

R U Next? (Korean알유넥스트?; stylized in all caps) is a reality competition series organized by Belift Lab and JTBC. The program debuted the South Korean girl group Illit.

On June 1, 2023, JTBC and Belift Lab announced that they had begun filming for the new survival program R U Next?, which aims to create the agency's next global girl group. The contestants would be assessed through seven rounds. On the same day, Girls' Generation's Choi Soo-young was confirmed as the show's host. On June 7, the official Twitter, Instagram and Weverse accounts for R U Next? opened and the first set of promotional posters were posted. An article was also released on the same day confirming the show would be containing seven missions and would also air through Wavve and Netflix in South Korea and Abema TV in Japan from June 30, at 8:50PM KST. On June 9, former Miss A member and actress, Bae Suzy, was confirmed to sing the signal song for R U Next?. It was released on June 12 at 6:00PM KST. Profiles of the twenty-two contestants were revealed on June 16, with individual profile photos and introduction videos.

After the performances of the final round, the six-member final lineup was decided through a combination of votes and label consideration. The six winners - Wonhee, Youngseo, Iroha, Yunah, Minju, and Moka - were chosen to become members of Illit, the first girl group under BeLift Lab, and the third girl group to debut under Hybe after Le Sserafim and NewJeans. However, Youngseo left the pre-debut lineup which was announced on 5 January 2024, and hence the group was later confirmed to debut with the remaining five members. Illit debuted on March 25, 2024 and released their debut album, Super Real Me, with Hybe's chairman Bang Si-hyuk participating as producer of their album. The group's name "Illit" is the combination of the phrase, 'I will' and the word, 'it,' according to Hybe, which demonstrates the group's desire to go beyond their potential and strive to be what they want it to be.

The try out is the gateway to see if you have the potential to become a member. The trainees have been divided into 7 different units with 3-4 members per unit. The tryouts will be evaluated within each unit. Each unit will be evaluated by the coaches after their performances. The unit members will then each be divided into three levels: High (H), Mid (M), and Low (L).

The theme of the mission is the debut title tracks of the 4th generation idol groups of Hybe. Within the three levels formed, 2 units will be formed. Two units will perform together with the same song. The unit that wins will get a benefit of extra points. Starting from this mission, there will be eliminations. Trainees in the Low Level will become elimination candidates.
