Tanaka Koki's Rise to Fame

Koki, represented by P Nation, rose to prominence after his appearance in the survival show Loud. He impressed the judges and audience with his impeccable dance skills, as he beat many contestants older than him during various rounds of the show.

He displayed a wide variety of dancing styles throughout the show and even proved many people wrong who initially were not sure he would get through the show's casting stage. Additionally, many believed he wouldn't be selected for the show given his age and difficulty speaking Korean.

But when he appeared during episode five, he immediately made it into P Nation as one of the Loud finalists. Then, in the finals, he was selected as one of the 12 final contestants in the show, who are expected to debut in late 2021 under their respective agencies.

About the Show 'Loud'

Organized by JYP Entertainment and P Nation, the South Korean boy group survival reality show features 75 contestants from different countries with artistic talents competing for a spot in one of the 2 groups.

The program aired between June 5 and September 11 every Saturday at 9 PM KST on SBS. During the finale, two groups were formed, with both groups' names yet to be announced.
