SBS's global boy group audition show Universe League just got even more exciting! On August 20th, the show revealed the second team, named BEAT, and dropped a teaser featuring its director—none other than GOT7's Yugyeom.

Yugyeom, known for his incredible dance skills as GOT7’s main dancer, will be leading Team BEAT. Fans remember him shining bright when he won first place on the 2016 show Hit The Stage, proving his talent in dance and performance.

With Yugyeom in charge, Team BEAT is expected to deliver powerful performances. His skills go beyond dancing—Yugyeom's solo activities have shown off his sharp producing abilities, promising a unique and exciting group under his direction.

Previously, Universe League announced BTOB's Changsub as the director for Team GROOVE. Now, with the addition of top-tier dancer Yugyeom, the anticipation for the show is growing even stronger. Fans are buzzing, eager to see which K-pop artist will lead the final team.

Universe League will feature a league-style competition, where only one team will win the Prism Cup and debut.

The show is generating a lot of attention, with three K-pop artists taking on the roles of directors, each shaping their teams with their unique talents and skills.

Mark your calendars—SBS's Universe League is set to premiere in November!
