Reality television talent competition franchise
Chuang
(
Chinese
: ?;
pinyin
: chuang;
lit.
Produce) is an idol
reality television
talent competition
franchise
created by Chinese entertainment conglomerate
Tencent
, based on the South Korean franchise
Produce 101
.
In 2021, following the milk-wasting scandal in May, where a video showing several people dumping boxes of milk purchased to support trainees on the
third season
of
iQiYi
's idol competition show
Youth With You
went viral,
[1]
and reports of fans of singer
Kris Wu
planning to rescue him from detainment after his
arrest for allegations of rape
in July,
[2]
the Chinese government enacted a ban on the production and broadcast of idol competition shows in the country in September, in an effort to control the behavior of idol fandom which may go against societal values in China.
[3]
This marks the end of the original
Chuang
series.
Tencent began working on bringing the franchise outside of China to circumvent the ban. This came into fruition in 2024 with the beginning of the
Chuang Asia
series, with plans of producing the show in different Asian countries each year.
