SM C&C Studio and Naver’s streaming platform NOW, which is set to launch on March 28, will collaborate to create an original reality show centered on K-pop idols titled “Real Now.”

The first episode will focus on boy band Winner.

NOW dropped a poster featuring Winner on Thursday. The first episode is scheduled to be released on the platform at 6 p.m. on April 14.

“Real Now” will see K-pop acts travel around the country and face a series of different missions.

It will mark the first time in two years that all four members of Winner appear together after Kim Jin-woo and Lee Seung-hoon went on hiatus to serve their mandatory military service.

The episode featuring Winner will take place on Jeju Island.

The show will be streamed on NOW every Thursday and Friday for free from April 14. It will also be simultaneously available on Thailand’s streaming platform trueID.
