Watch: "Fantasy Boys" Wraps Up 2nd Semester Cover Mission + Teases Partial Rankings Ahead Of Eliminations

Apr 20, 2023

“Fantasy Boys” has rounded out their individual Visual Mission and announced spoilers from the second rankings ceremony!

MBC’s new audition program “Fantasy Boys” is the male version of “My Teen Girl,” the audition program that gave rise to the rookie girl group CLASS:y last year. The show is hosted by TVXQ‘s Changmin with mentors 2PM’s Wooyoung, Jung Jinyoung, WINNER‘s Kang Seung Yoon, and (G)I-DLE’s Jeon Soyeon. The program is divided into four “semesters” and the final 12 contestants who pass all four stages will make the debut lineup.

Last week’s episode introduced the second semester Visual Mission where the contestants were tasked with covering BTS’s “Boy In Luv,” Stray Kids’ “Thunderous,” TXT’s “CROWN,” NCT’s “90’s Love,” THE BOYZ’s “The Stealer,” and ATEEZ’s “Deja Vu.” The teams also completed a runway mission where the winning member was awarded the “heart-fluttering part” of each song. These coveted positions went to Kim Gyurae of team “Boy In Luv,” K-Soul of team “Thunderous,” Hikari of team “CROWN,” Kang Minseo of team “90’s Love,” Ling Qi of team “The Stealer,” and Hong Seongmin of team “Deja Vu.”

After covers of “Thunderous” and “The Stealer” were shown last week, the four remaining performances were featured in the April 20 broadcast of “Fantasy Boys,” along with the mission results and spoilers from the second semester ranking ceremony.
