A new survival show is in the making! This time, acting agency Purple Entertainment has decided to team up with GKMNEO and Ray Commerce to make Rookie Find, or Find Rookie, in order to find the five members for their first girl group.
The show held auditions for applicants until November 30, 2021. Originally, 13 contestants were selected, however, when the show had to postpone filming due to the rising cases of Covid in Korea, two of the contestants left the show beforehand. The remaining 11 contestants are still participating in the show, which is expected to air sometime in 2022.
