BSR Entertainment Reportedly Preparing a New Survival Show in 2025—A Requel to Dogshow 69 S2?
On February 9, rumors began circulating online that the previously canceled DOGSHOW 69 Season 2 could be making a comeback in the form of a requel—a fresh take on the original concept that was scrapped before airing. While DOGSHOW 69 S2 never saw the light of day, sources claim that BSR Entertainment has revamped the show’s format, creating an entirely new structure that involves not just their own trainees but also participants from multiple entertainment companies.
According to industry insiders, the upcoming show will feature contestants from four major sister companies under the BSR LABELS:
BSR Entertainment
Studio IB
BBM Entertainment
Dispatchito Labels
Each of these four agencies will reportedly send six participants, totaling 24 contestants who will compete for a spot in the final debut lineup. However, unlike traditional survival shows that typically debut groups of seven or more members, this one will allegedly debut only nine members, making the competition even more intense.
A BRAND-NEW FORMAT: WHAT’S DIFFERENT?
One of the most intriguing aspects of the rumored show is its new format. While the original DOGSHOW 69 S2 was expected to follow a conventional K-pop survival show structure, where trainees from BSR Entertainment would compete for a spot in a BSR-managed group, this version appears to be much more expansive.
By incorporating trainees from multiple agencies, BSR Entertainment is reportedly aiming for a more diverse, high-stakes competition where trainees from different backgrounds, training systems, and performance styles will go head-to-head. This could mean intense rivalries, unexpected alliances, and a broader range of talent showcased throughout the show.
WHO ARE THE RUMORED CONTESTANTS?
Although the full lineup of contestants has not been officially confirmed, speculation has already begun regarding which trainees will participate. Many fans believe that Kimmy, Chloe, Sarah, Peng, Miles, and Jasie—all former contestants of DOGSHOW 69 S2—will be among the six representatives from BSR Entertainment.
These six trainees were originally set to compete in DOGSHOW 69 S2 before its cancellation, leading many to believe that BSR Entertainment is giving them a second chance to prove themselves in a much larger competition. If true, this would be a major opportunity for them, as they would now be competing not just with other BSR trainees but also with highly skilled participants from three other labels.
The rumored involvement of these former DOGSHOW 69 S2 contestants has sparked further discussions among fans, with some speculating that the show may include storylines or challenges specifically designed to highlight their journey—from their time in the canceled show to their current participation in this new competition.
WHAT WILL THE SHOW BE CALLED?
As of now, the official name of the survival show has not been announced, adding another layer of mystery to the project. While some netizens have suggested that the new show could incorporate “DOGSHOW” into its name to maintain a connection to the original concept, others believe that BSR Entertainment might opt for a completely new title to distance itself from the canceled project.
Additionally, it remains unclear how the voting system will work, whether the public will have full control over the debut lineup, or if a panel of judges and producers will have a say in the final selections.
HOW WILL THIS COMPARE TO OTHER SURVIVAL SHOWS?
If the rumors are true, this survival show could become one of the most intense and high-profile competitions of 2025. With four different agencies involved, the level of competition is expected to be fierce, and the stakes will be higher than ever.
Survival shows have always been a major part of the K-pop industry, producing some of the biggest groups in recent years. From Produce 101 and I-LAND to Boys Planet and R U Next?, these shows have helped launch global stars. BSR Entertainment’s rumored survival show could follow in the footsteps of these iconic programs, but with a unique twist that sets it apart from past competitions.
WHEN WILL BSR ENTERTAINMENT MAKE AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT?
Despite all the rumors, BSR Entertainment has yet to confirm any details about the show. However, the increasing buzz within industry circles suggests that an official announcement could be coming soon. If the survival show is indeed set for 2025, teasers, trailers, and contestant introductions could be revealed in the coming months.
Fans are eagerly awaiting any official news, with many hoping that BSR Entertainment will soon break its silence and confirm whether the highly anticipated survival show is truly happening. Until then, speculation continues to grow, and K-pop fans worldwide are keeping a close eye on any further developments.
Stay tuned for more updates on what could be one of the biggest survival shows of 2025!
