SM Entertainment’s New British Boy Group Dear Alice: Who Are the Members?

As a seasoned gamer who’s played countless hours of virtual K-pop idol management games, I can confidently say that Dear Alice feels like a dream come true! The profiles of these five lads from across the pond are a perfect blend of talent, charisma, and raw potential.

SM Entertainment has unveiled a fresh British boy group named “Dear Alice“, consisting of five talented individuals who are set to appear on BBC’s upcoming reality series, “Made in Korea: The K-Pop Experience“. Here’s an overview of the Dear Alice members, including their names, ages, and special skills.

In recent times, the influence of Korean pop (K-pop) culture has expanded significantly. Companies like HYBE and SM Entertainment are now partnering with international record labels to create global K-pop acts.

Recently, HYBE unveiled its latest global pop ensemble, KATSEYE. This group aims to adapt the K-pop approach with an eye towards success in the international music market. In a similar vein, SM Entertainment has presented Dear Alice, a newly formed British band that underwent intense training to emulate the K-pop regimen and realize their ambition of making it big as a successful musical group.

‘Beginning this August on #BBCOne, we follow the journey of James, Reese, Blaise, Dexter, and Olly as they embark on K-pop training in Korea. Will they be able to fulfill their dream of forming a band?’ #madeinkorea #jamesharp #dextergreenwood #ollyquinn #blaisenoon #reesecarter

As a member of SM Entertainment’s freshly minted British boy band, I find myself standing alongside four other lads – Blaise, Dexter, Olly, and Reese. We’re all in our teenage years to early twenties, with James Sharp being the most recognizable among us due to his massive following on TikTok (5.5 million and counting!). Let’s dive into each member’s unique profile below.

Made In Korea: The K-Pop Experience

Following the initial presentation of Blaise, Dexter, James, Olly, and Reese, viewers eagerly anticipate following the group’s journey on the new BBC One series titled Made in Korea: The K-pop Experience. This upcoming production is a joint effort between SM Entertainment and Moon & Back Media.

The BBC has revealed a sneak peek at the show titled “Made In Korea: The K-Pop Experience.” This program is filmed in South Korea where the participants are plunged into the heart of K-pop culture and undergo a rigorous 100-day training regimen similar to the original K-pop process. They will encounter choreography, vocal, and performance classes, along with life coaching advice, all while being fully immersed in Korean lifestyle. This intense journey unfolds amidst Seoul’s breathtaking scenery and famous K-pop landmarks.

As a former aspiring K-pop fan and someone who has tried (and failed) to learn Korean dancing and singing, I am genuinely excited about the upcoming documentary-style reality show that will reveal the rigorous training process of K-pop stars on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Having followed the careers of several successful groups over the years, I’ve always been fascinated by their dedication and discipline, which often involves countless hours of practice and sacrifice.
