Episode 3

Produce 48 (Hangul: 프로듀스 48) is an ongoing survival reality television show on Mnet. It is a large-scale project in which the public “produces” a girl group by voting for members out of a pool of 96 trainees from Japan and South Korea, as well as voting for the group’s concept, debut single, and group name. It is a collaboration between the Mnet series Produce 101 and the J-pop idol group AKB48. The winning 12 contestants, with no nationality caps, as voted only by Korean viewers, will promote as a group for two and a half years.[1] Produced by AKATV (the company that also produced the second season of Produce 101) for Mnet, the show premiered on June 15, 2018, and will air every Friday at 23:00 (KST) for 12 episodes. It is directed by Ahn Joon-young, who also directed the first two seasons of Produce 101
