MODYSSEY heats up for debut with reality show SAY SAY MODYSSEY; anticipation rises after first broadcast

MODYSSEY, preparing for their debut, has kicked off pre-debut hype through Mnet's project reality SAY SAY MODYSSEY. The program, which premiered on March 20, follows the seven-member group on their journey to become a global idol, and showcases their potential from multiple angles ahead of the release of their debut single on April 13. MODYSSEY is a seven-member boy group consisting of 헝위, 판저이, 리즈하오, 린린, 수런, 이첸, and 로완, nicknamed the Central-South F7. They were formed through auditions for Boys 2 Planet and Planet C: Home Race, and aim to broaden fans' interaction not only through stage glamour but also through unadorned daily life and team chemistry captured in a reality show. From the early episodes, the members' charms were on vivid display. In their first self-introduction, 판저이 boldly asked fans, Can I like you?, while 린린, 로완, 수런, and 이첸 expressed their colors with emotional expressions and witty remarks. 헝위 and 리즈하오 drew attention with the charisma, From today, I will make you mine. The show also highlighted their budding variety skills during a Korean-language ability test on a bus heading toward the East Sea, as they tackled games such as Four-Character Sentence Chain, Initial Consonant Game, and Keep It Going, showing both awkwardness and strong enthusiasm. In a rest-stop snack race, the team kept pushing to the end, demonstrating teamwork. A physical endurance test after arriving at the East Sea added to the heated atmosphere. The flag race and a dinner-menu mission kept things unpredictable while the members encouraged each other. The tension around whether they would plunge into the winter sea has sparked curiosity for the next episode. MODYSSEY is a seven-member global boy group formed through Boys 2 Planet and Planet C: Home Race, with their debut single scheduled for April 13. The title is 1. Got Hooked: An Addictive Symphony, signaling the group’s full entry into the industry. SAY SAY MODYSSEY airs every Friday at 7 PM, aiming to capture not only performance skill but the human side and team chemistry behind the scenes to broaden fan engagement. In this way, MODYSSEY is making a strong off-stage presence through reality before their debut, and fans look forward to the group’s growth trajectory.
