According to Mnet, J.Y. Park stated, "The thing that makes me most excited and leaves me in anticipation while doing this program is that I have no idea who I'm really going to pick."

Starting from April 13, the agency will also start releasing profiles of the 16 candidates through Mnet's channel. We saw a glimpse at some of them through miss A's latest music video, but these upcoming introductory clips will give us a better idea of each potential member of JYPE's new girl group.

'Sixteen' will start airing on May 5 for a total of 10 episodes every Tuesday!
