Production style edit

In November 2020, Youku released an annual press conference, announcing the launching of Asia Super Young recruiting trainees worldwide.[4]

On May 22, 2023, during the TVB's Happy Summer, TVB revealed that they would release an idol band Asia Super Young in September of 2023.[5]

"Asia Super Young" was originally scheduled to be broadcast on September 3. However, on August 22, 2023, TVB stated through the media that due to Eric Tsang's health issues and the controversy with the involvement of producer Canxing Culture, the first broadcast was announced to be postponed.[6][7]

In October 2023, the trailer of "Asia Super Young" was played on TVB's Wireless Program Tour 2024, confirming that the program will be broadcast.[8]
