In a unique collaboration between East and West, SM and Kakao Entertainment America have partnered with UK production company Moon&Back to create Dear Alice, Britain's first K-pop-inspired boy band. 

The group's recent appearance on ITV1's long-running talk show 'This Morning' signals growing interest in this cultural crossover.

Dear Alice's five members—Blaise Noon, Dexter Greenwood, James Sharp, Oliver Quinn, and Reese Carter—shared insights into their journey from UK auditions to intensive training in South Korea. 

Their experience highlights the rigorous standards of K-pop, offering a fresh perspective on the global music industry.

The band's formation and development are documented in 'Made in Korea: The K-Pop Experience', a six-part series airing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. 

The show tracks Dear Alice's progress and explores K-pop's history and global influence, showcasing the genre during prime time on UK public broadcasting.

As Dear Alice prepares for their official debut, their story is capturing the attention of major UK media outlets. 

The Guardian, The Times, and The Sun have all highlighted the series as must-see TV, reflecting the growing curiosity about K-pop's production processes and potential impact on the British music scene.

With their blend of British talent and K-pop training, Dear Alice represents an intriguing experiment in cultural fusion. 

As they continue their journey, music fans and industry watchers alike will be keen to see how this new artist development model unfolds.
