The Unit (더 유닛) is a South Korean "idol rebooting" television show on KBS. The show will take idols who have not been successful in the industry and give them another chance. Two 9-member groups, one male and one female, will be formed by the winners at the end of the show.
The first evaluations determine which applicants will become contestants on the show. Members of the audience vote while the contestants perform. With six boots in total, each boot represents 15% of the audience votes. When 90% of the audience members vote for a total of six boots, known as a "Super Boot", the whole group is able to join the show. If the applicants do not receive a super boot, the Mentors will determine whether to pass each performer or not. Each mentor can give one boot, which is all the contestant needs to join the show. The Booting Evaluations were held at the Kintex Hall 9 in Ilsan between September 29 and October 1, 2017.
During the first mission, contestants form groups of nine to make a music video. The winning team receives a production budget of ₩500,000 to become main features in the show's music video, which features the original song "My Turn".
