Peak Time

***Peak Time*** (피크타임) is a 2023 survival show broadcast on JTBC. It premiered on February 15, 2023.

The program aims to provide opportunities to groups that have been hit hard by the pandemic, are not as well-known due to taking long breaks or experiencing frequent member changes, have disbanded or recently debuted and need a boost of publicity, or want to showcase their talents to the rest of the world. It is the first idol audition show to have teams competing. Experts in producing, performing, and visual directing will be assisting the participating teams whom will receive detailed coaching from a world-class experts to compete for a spot at a worldwide idol showcase.

## Background

Promo materials released on December 21, 2022 indicated that BLK would be one of the groups participating. On January 10, the premiere was postponed from February 7 to February 15. A countdown performance video featuring BLK (in silhouette) dancing to SHINee's "An Encore" was released on January 11, 2023. On February 9, BLK was officially revealed as one of the competitors on the show, and on February 13 a "reveal" version of the previous performance was released.

While the teams initially competed with anonymity both within and outside the show (using temporary team names based on time), the groups began promoting the show on social media under their real names beginning with the Rival Match round. As the members of BLK no longer had access to the group's old social media accounts, they created an Instagram account under the name TEAM 15:00.

On April 6, 2023, a Makestar campaign for a compilation album was announced, and officially launched the following day. Following the launch, details for the series of concerts featuring the Top 6 teams were announced, with the participating teams confirmed on April 12 with the release of the tenth episode. However, TEAM 15:00 was ultimately eliminated, though placed within the Top 10.

## Judges

In addition, singer and actor Lee Seung Gi serves as the show's MC.

Following the initial auditions, 23 Teams are selected to participate in the initial Survival Round. Each team prepared a cover stage with a song of their own choosing. Votes by the panel of eight judges determine which teams will progress onto the following rounds.

On stage, TEAM 15:00 explains that, as BLK, they were seven members but three of them were otherwise involved in other groups or solo projects, so only four members decided to participate in the show. They revealed that after the group's disbandment in 2018, they took a farewell trip to Eulwangni Beach in Incheon and made a promise to meet again in five years after finding success. As they didn't have the backing of an agency, their hair, makeup, outfits, and props were prepared using their personal finances. Ilkyung expressed that he didn't think any of the other groups matched their eagerness to perform.

For their performance, TEAM 15:00 performed a cover of MONSTA X's "Beautiful".

## Score

This round each of the eight judges had a PICK button they must press to vote a team on to the next round. Teams that received three or less votes would be Eliminated, Teams that received four or five votes would be put "On Hold" for final consideration at the end of the round, and Teams that received more than six votes would automatically pass onto the next round. If a team got votes from all eight of the judges it's considered an "All Pick".

In addition, Individual trainees auditioned to become part of the project group "Team 24:00" but did not receive scores. Rather the final team was formed after private deliberations by the judges.

TEAM 15:00 recieved six picks from the judges, and automatically passed onto the next round.
