Produce 101 (Hangul: 프로듀스 101, stylized as PRODUCE 101) is a 2016 reality girl group survival show on Mnet. It is a large-scale project in which the public "produces" a unit girl group by choosing members from a pool of 101 trainees from 46 entertainment companies as well as the group's concept, debut song, and group name. The show has the second largest budget of all shows produced by Mnet at about four billion won (approximately $3.4 million).[3][4][5]
Concept
Produce 101 is the nation's first agency-collaboration unit girl group project, which brings together 101 trainees from different entertainment companies both inside and outside of South Korea, and 11 trainees will be selected to form a unit girl group. The unit group will stay together for a year and release an album under the record label of CJ E&M, but may later join a girl group that their agencies are planning. The members have begun living together on December 5, 2015. They took to the stage for the first time to face off in a group mission at the CJ E&M studio in Ilsan on December 27, 2015.[4][6][7]
For the girls' trainings, several artists have been recruited for the show. Actor-singer Jang Keun-suk serves as a mentor while Brown Eyed Girls' vocalist JeA alongside vocal trainer Kim Sung-eun, soloist Kahi with choreographer Bae Yoon-jung, and rapper Cheetah are respectively in charge of vocal, dance and rap training.[8][9][10][11] In addition, trainer Ray Yang is in charge of the girls' fitness training.[12]
Pre-show promotions
Produce 101 was unveiled for the first time on Episode 453 of M Countdown on December 17, 2015. The group was presented by Jang Keun-suk, and 98 out of 101 members showcased their talents through a EDM song "Pick Me"; three members could not make it due to personal reasons.[6][13]
Beginning on December 18, 2015, the 101 participants were revealed via official website, Facebook, Instagram and Naver TV Cast over the course of seven days. Each of the girls were introduced through profile with photos and video introductions.[5][14][15]
On January 21, 2016, a production presentation for the show was held at the 63 Convention Center in Yeouido, Seoul.

Episodes
Episode 1 (January 22, 2016)
The 101 contestants are introduced and enter the studio where 101 seats are arranged in a pyramid with the chair for the '#1' trainee at the top. The contestants are then asked to perform by company and each individual trainee is judged based on their overall talents. They are given grades, with A being the highest and F the lowest. These will also be the groups that will determine how they will be trained. At the end of the broadcast, the popularity ranking is shown, with JYP Entertainment's Jeon Somi in first place.[40][41]
Episode 2 (January 29, 2016)
After being grouped according to the grades given to the trainees, Jang Keun-suk announced that they will be performing on M! Countdown and are given the song "Pick Me" which they must learn in the following days. Their line distribution and overall participation in the performance will be decided from their groups, in which case A would have the most number of lines while F would be backup dancers. They are also informed that they will be re-evaluated and must practice for three days to be reassigned to their final groups. One by one, the trainees are filmed performing the song on their own which will be watched and evaluated by the judges. They are then given their new grades and asked to move to their new rooms. The episode ends with JYP's Jeon Somi's name tag being shown on the screen, presumably to have been moved from group A.[42][43][44]
Episode 3 (February 5, 2016)
The girls move to their new groups after the re-evaluations. They start rehearsing for their "Pick Me" stage where Fantagio's Choi Yoo-jung, who was moved from group D to A, was chosen as the center. After the performance, Jang Keun-suk announced the departure of 3 trainees from the show and also announced that 37 contestants will be eliminated in the next episode. The trainees start their second mission, which would be group performances. They are given the debut songs of ten girl groups: Wonder Girls' "Irony", KARA's "Break It", Girls' Generation's "Into the New World", After School's "AH", 2NE1's "Fire", 4Minute's "Hot Issue", f(x)'s "LA chA TA", SISTAR's "Push Push", miss A's "Bad Girl Good Girl", and Apink's "I Don't Know". The girls in group A compete for each song individually through a race and are given the privilege of picking members from each group to form their teams. Each song will be performed live by two groups and will be voted on. Their points from the live voting will be combined with their online votes which will then determine their scores. Members of the winning group will gain an extra 1000 points each.[45][46][47]
Episode 4 (February 12, 2016)
After the rest of the teams finish their performances, the girls are shown their ranking based purely on their individual votes and the additional 1000 points for the girls on the winning teams, with Jellyfish Entertainment's Kim Se-jeong taking first place.[48][49]
