Boy group A.C.E will be experiencing their first ever working holiday, on Chuja islands!
On Mix Nine, YG Entertainment’s Yang Hyun Suk will visit management agencies across Korea to look for idol wannabes with potential and help them become a star. 400 trainees will be on the show, and for the final stage of the competition, nine male and nine female trainees will get to compete. They will be competing against each other as a boy group and a girl group, and the winning team will win the name of “Mix Nine”. Unlike most idol survival programs which makes the contestants compete from the very first episode, Mix Nine will start with the stage in which the staff picks the contestants. The first half of the show will be “Enter Tour Step” and the second half “Competition Step”.
Kim Se Yoon, known professionally as Wow, is a South Korean singer, dancer and member of A.C.E (에이스). Before debuting, he spent some time as a trainee at YG Entertainment. He is the older brother of former trainee Kim Eun Suh. He made his debut in May 2017 as A.C.E's main dancer, vocalist and rapper with their first single album, "Cactus". The group enjoyed initial success thanks to the agency's idea of going busking in Hongdae while covering well-known songs. In April 2021, Beat Interactive (비트 인터렉티브) announced he was experiencing depression and anxiety, so he went on hiatus for a few months. He briefly returned before entering the military. He enlisted for his mandatory military service on September 10, 2021, and was discharged on June 9, 2023. A.C.E’s exclusive contracts with Beat Interactive came to an end on March 31, 2025.
