KBS has confirmed the premiere date of their new idol drama Imitation.

According to DongA News, Imitation will premiere in May as a follow-up of KBS’s Friday drama Dear. M. Based on the webtoon of the same name, Imitation will be a tribute to Korean idols.

Since the first episode released in 2014, the webtoon received explosive popularity with more than 4.5 billion views and more than 600,000 cumulative comments on Kakao Page. This project’s worldview revolves around four artists/groups: “top star” Larima, “perfect idols” SHAX, “growing idols” Tea Party, and “passionate idols” Sparkling. The realistic yet exciting portrayal of the idol industry and fandoms will arouse curiosity among the viewers, who may not be a fan of K-pop.
