On January 10th, they are filming for the show at the Buan Video Theme Park. The production crew aims to capture their vibrant appearances at an outdoor filming site outside of the stifling studio.
Dressed in hanbok, the female idols laugh in anticipation for what is to come, but of the 12, only 1 will emerge as the final crown princess. The production crew expressed, “It will be a raucous broadcast to heighten the excitement on the national holiday.”
The identity of the crown prince remains a mystery. The crew said, “Even the cast themselves don’t know who he is, but we’ll find out during the broadcast.” The show will be broadcast on Jan 23rd at 7:20 PM.
