8Star (season 1)

The first season of 8Star is an all-male idol search throughout Calmyte and Becsulet and other invited nations of the Majestic world to find worthy placeholders for the nation's next big pop boy group.

History
During the 21st edition of the Majestic Song Contest, where the nation debuted there, CB ERTN was having plans for a new reality show in search to find the next big thing in Majestic's pop music industry, a high-quality boy group. Planning was done behind the scenes, except when a staff member accidentally view them on public for eight minutes the day before the respective edition's grand finale.

After that edition, CB Music, the music channel for viewers of the nation, aired the first-ever official commercial for 8Star, where auditions would be held at different parts of the nation, as well as other nations of the Majestic World, including Titolemppi, Campre, Etanna and even Old Valyria.

Phase 1
The final 40 trainees take two different evaluations: performance and personality. On the performance evaluation, they must be able to either sing, dance, or rap to whatever piece they want to perform as. On the personality evaluation, they'll be judged on who they are as people. They can do a variety of acts, as long as it doesn't hurt any of the trainees, the judges, or the staff. Once done judging, the trainees will then be assigned to rank from S to F, where the former does the best, and the latter does the worst.

After both evaluations, which is by the third episode, as well as a live televote, only 32 of them will move on to the next phase. They'll be selected based on how well they did both performances.

Promotion and Broadcast
Different trailers for 8Star were aired all throughout July, including the introductions of the judges and the upcoming drama and performances done by the trainees of the competition.
