The K-Pop execs that oversaw the 100-day training programme made “Simon Cowell look like Mary Poppins” according to show runners.

The boy group dearAlice are now back in the UK and working on their first single.

But the show’s makers are already looking at a second series — this time with five talented female singers and dancers, while their boyband try to break into the industry.

It follows the widespread success of female-led K-Pop bands across the UK.

In July Blackpink became the first ever such outfit to headline a UK festival, with their set at British Summer Time in Hyde Park, London.

An insider told me: “The first series of Made In Korea proved a success, with dearAlice nailing the K-Pop training and coming out a fully formed band, ready to take on the industry.

It’s not just the bands that will be in contest, as Cowell’s own hunt for the next big pop group The Midas Touch is set to air on Netflix next year.

Nothing like a bit of rivalry to keep everyone on their toes.
