"Birth of a Great Star" contestant to debut with Cho PD's Block B

A contestant from MBC's "Birth of a Great Star" will be debuting as a part of Cho PD's upcoming hip hop group, Block B! Originally, his debut was unconfirmed because of a severe knee injury that rendered him unable to participate in Block B's training. His condition has since improved, and Cho PD has decided to go ahead with his debut in the group. On March 24th, Block B's choreography director, Go Yoon Young, revealed, "We thought that he wouldn't recover in time to film the group's debut music video, but as the date drew near, he showed much determination and managed to recover in quickly." This anonymous member was once eliminated during the "Great Camp" episode of "Birth of a Great Star". He later tried out for Cho PD's audition and passed, managing to go straight into recording for Block B's title track under composer Assbrass. Cho PD commented, "Last week, I watched him take part in the music video and album jacket shoot, and felt that everything was finally finding its place.�I'm really happy with the results." The seven-member boy group is scheduled to debut on April 14th. Source: Star News via Nate
