KPOP STAR 1 is a popular South Korean reality competition show that aired on SBS. The show premiered in December 2011 and ran for six months until June 2012. The show aimed to discover talented individuals who could be the next big thing in the K-pop industry. Kpop Star 1 was hosted by two popular South Korean MCs, Yoon Do-hyun and Boom. The show included a panel of judges, including Yang Hyun-suk, founder of YG Entertainment, Park Jin-young, founder of JYP Entertainment, and singer and actress BoA. The judges evaluated contestants' performances and provided feedback and guidance to help them improve.

The show was divided into several rounds, including auditions, preliminaries, and final rounds. The auditions were held in several cities in South Korea, as well as in other countries such as the United States, Australia, and Thailand.

The final round was divided into two parts. In the first part, each contestant performed solo, showcasing their unique talents and abilities. In the second part, the contestants were grouped together into teams to perform collaborative songs and dance routines.

Throughout the show, the judges provided guidance and support to the contestants, helping them improve their performances and develop their skills. They also gave feedback on the contestants' stage presence, vocal technique, and dance skills.

One unique aspect of KPOP STAR 1 was that it not only focused on traditional K-pop genres such as pop, dance, and hip-hop, but also on other musical genres such as rock and ballads. This gave contestants from various musical backgrounds an opportunity to showcase their talents and share their love for music.

The show was a huge success and produced several K-pop stars, including Lee Hi, Akdong Musician, and Bang Yedam. These talented individuals have gone on to achieve great success in the K-pop industry and have become popular among fans worldwide.
