Kstar Next Door Show Launches with Explosive Idol Vocal Battles

The viral sensation that took K-pop fans by storm is back — and this time, it’s here to stay. Kstar Next Door Show, the newly expanded regular series evolved from the wildly popular ‘Vocal Charisma Show’ segment on last year’s Kstar Next Door Season 4, is set to premiere on June 29 at 6 PM KST on the show’s YouTube channel.

Hosted by the ever-charismatic Jonathan, the show continues its winning formula of candid, friend-like interviews while diving deep into the vocal and performance prowess of leading K-pop idols. The program is known for creating unforgettable idol moments and unlocking the full potential of its musical guests.

During Season 4’s ‘Vocal Charisma Show’, top-tier vocalists like NMIXX, Kiss of Life, and BabyMonster engaged in intense vocal showdowns — group versus group, and even member versus member — drawing millions of views. One memorable moment featured NMIXX covering DAY6‘s emotional track ‘HAPPY’, a performance that not only went viral but helped catapult the original song back up the charts, hitting number one on music platforms.

This season, Kstar Next Door Show promises even more excitement. Episode 1 will shine a spotlight on FIFTY FIFTY in a vocal showdown, while TWS showcases their dance performance in episode 2. Expect high-octane stage chemistry and fierce rivalries, all without the filter of seniority or hierarchy.

Among the most anticipated matchups are N.Flying versus X-dinary Heroes, two powerhouse idol bands ready to battle it out for instrumental and vocal supremacy. K-pop fans can look forward to a thrilling ride of synergy, showmanship, and raw talent.

New episodes will drop every Tuesday at 6 PM KST on YouTube, with televised broadcasts airing every Friday at 8 PM KST via Mnet. With fresh idols, unpredictable twists, and Jonathan’s signature charm, Kstar Next Door Show is shaping up to be the must-watch idol variety series of the season.
