Peak Time (Korean: 피크타임) is a 2023 South Korean reality competition show created by JTBC. It aired on JTBC from February 15 to April 19, 2023, every Wednesday at 20:50 (KST) for the first two episodes before it changed to 22:30 (KST) from the third episode onwards.[6][7] It was simultaneously broadcast through TV Asahi and Abema in Japan, and TikTok in other parts of the world, and is also available for streaming on TVING in South Korea and on Viki in selected regions.[5][8]
Hosted by Lee Seung-gi, the program provides a stage for already debuted K-pop boy bands to once again prove their skills to audiences outside of South Korea and compete for the "Worldwide Idol" title.[1][3] The final Top 6 teams got the special benefit of having their names disclosed while performing on the show and held a concert.[9] The winning team, Vanner received a monetary prize of ₩300 million, an album release, and a global showcase.[10]
Background and production
Development
JTBC released a teaser video for Peak Time on June 20, 2022, in hopes of recruiting already debuted K-pop boy bands to participate in the show.[1] Under the supervision of JTBC chief producer Yoon Hyun-joon and production director Ma Geon-young, who were both also involved in the production of the successful reality singing competition show Sing Again, the program aims to revitalize the careers of lesser-known Korean idols, regardless of their debut year.[1][11] Ma commented that he "wanted to provide a platform" to those "who didn't have a chance to make themselves known to the public."[12]
Lee Seung-gi, who also hosted both seasons of Sing Again, was recruited as Peak Time's host. In regards to choosing Lee, the production team noted his excellent wit and hosting skills during Sing Again, as well as his ability to sympathize well with the contestants, often providing musical advice, being a musician himself.[3][13]
The panel of judges, consisting of eight people, was announced on December 20, 2022.[14] The production team had enlisted former Sing Again judges Kyuhyun and Mino to be part of the panel, with the former being assigned as the lead judge of the show.[15][16] The panel also includes Jay Park, Kim Sung-kyu, Lee Gi-kwang, Tiffany Young, SM Entertainment performance director Shim Jae-won, as well as prominent songwriter and producer Ryan S. Jhun.[14][15][16] Regarding their roles as judges, Jhun aims to instill the importance of teamwork in the contestants,[17] while Young hopes to impart the skills that she has learned through her experiences as a K-pop idol.[12] Moonbyul joined the panel starting from the second round after Mino stepped down to fulfill his mandatory military service.[18]
