About Project I-dreaM
Centered on the concept "The dream stage is created with you," this project is a performance battle where idol groups create both lyrics and choreography from scratch for a challenge song and perform it live.
Leading up to the battle, idols will create original lyrics and choreography centered on the theme "gratitude to fans." These behind-the-scenes efforts will be shared via short videos. The culmination will be the live performance on Tuesday, July 14, where the winning group will be decided.
The battle outcome will be determined by a combination of fan support votes and judges' evaluations. Since fan votes play a crucial role in determining the winner, this is truly a "performance battle where idols and fans challenge together."
The winning group will complete and release their original song. Additionally, Project I-dreaM will provide special support to help the idols achieve their "dreams."
Updates on the idols' journey through the project will be shared sequentially on SMBC Mobit's official TikTok account and Project I-dreaM's official social media channels.
