*Produce 5201314* was a 2020 reality girl group survival show on Mnet. It is the fifth season of the *"Produce 101"* franchise. It is a large-scale project in which the public "produce" a temporary girl group by voting for their favorite trainees from 400 Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, and Thai trainees from different entertainment companies and groups.

## Concept

Produce 5201314 gathered together 400 trainees, of which 136 girls are trainees from Korea, 99 trainees/Idols from Japan (who are either training to be in/or are idols in Japanese group AKB48 and its Sister groups), 72 trainees from China, 37 trainees from Taiwan, 24 trainees from Vietnam, and 32 trainees from Thailand. They are gathered together to build a group that will promote for seven years. This marks the longest contract term to come from the Produce 101 series. The members of the group will be able to promote under their own agencies concurrently after two years as a group. They adopted the AKB48's concept of "idols you can meet and greet" and will perform in their own theatre. Members of the group will be able to promote under their own agencies concurrently, much like the first and third season.
