Stray Kids show

 Stray Kids is a 2017 reality show created by JYP Entertainment and Mnet. It is a male idol debut project with the concept of winning the "trainees versus JYP" survival. It aired on Mnet from October 17 to December 19, 2017 on Tuesdays at 23:00 (KST) timeslot for 10 episodes.

 Rather than individuals surviving to become a team, the trainees would be working towards the goal of debuting altogether. The team was based on internal selection and trainees would perform their self-composed songs. They were judged on individual abilities and teamwork based on unexpected missions to win the "trainees versus JYP" survival. The show also featured the behind-the-scenes look at the daily lives of trainees and their showcase held in August.] On September 21, JYPE revealed the show's title, Stray Kids, along with its logo and social media channels. The first image teaser featuring the nine members was unveiled on October 9

About Stray Kids

 Stray Kids (스트레이 키즈) is a South Korean boyband boy group which officially debuted in March 26th, 2017 with album "I am NOT". Before their debut, the company (where they debuted) JYP Entertainment and Mnet did a reality show where they choose a group who will debut first. The group that jyp did or Bang Chan's group and The Boys Project (in reality show that was the name of Stray Kids, after first mission they changed) won. There they had few missions and one of them was composing a song. Because of that mission, they uploaded song called "Hellevator" on 6th October 2017. 

 In 3rd episode three of them were in danger - Lee Minho, Yang Jeongin and Hwang Hyunjin.
!spoiler warning! in the 8th episode, Lee Felix and Lee Minho were eliminated but jyp got so much hate and because of that, the two members were back.
