On May 8th, Cover Corporation announced the launch of a new talent development project called “mekPark.” This project is a training system in which trainees and directors work together as a unit, aiming for a professional debut.
In “mekPark,” three trainees and one director form a unit and carry out activities. The activity period is a maximum of two years. If their talent is recognized, they may be able to debut early without waiting for the period to end. On the other hand, if they do not meet the criteria within the deadline, their path to official debut ends there.
The path to becoming a professional is paved by three multifaceted indicators: “Trust” assessed through management review, “Passion” based on activity data such as viewership and derivative works, and “Determination” based on fan survey results. As a general rule, promotion is aimed at units that hone their skills through friendly competition.
The most important factor in the selection process is support from fans. The results of surveys conducted through the official app “Holoplus” and other channels will determine whether a talent is selected or not. A key feature of this system is that the viewers’ desire to “continue watching this talent” directly influences their debut.
Currently, two units are scheduled to begin activities in stages, and silhouettes of the trainees have been revealed. Auditions will continue to be held periodically, and recruitment of trainees will continue. Further information, such as the timing of the start of recruitment, will be announced on the project’s official X account.
