In June, reports had begun circulating over yet another reality
survival program involving Team B. Two months later, YG officially
launched the concept of Mix and Match to the public, confirming Team B's
participation. More details about the show were announced during the
official press conference held on September 2, along with the
introduction of the new trainees, Jung Jinhyeong, Jung Chanwoo and Yang
Hongseok. The format of the show would involve following iKON, YG
Entertainment's upcoming boy group, on their road to debut. In addition
to a new name, Yang Hyun Suk also revealed that B.I, Bobby and Kim
Jinhwan were set members of iKON, leaving the remaining 3 members of
Team B to battle for one of 4 places alongside the trainees. iKON's
official line-up would be determined by a voting system, with 30% by the
judges, made of YG artists, and 70% by the viewers during the course
of Mix and Match airing. Voting began in and throughout October,
starting with official fanmeetings held in Japan, China and Korea on the
5th, 11th and 17th, followed by the on-site voting during the third
and final match by both attendees on the 22nd, and ended with online
voting held between the 30th and 31st.
