Chuang Asia: Season 2 (Chinese: 创造营亚洲第二季; pinyin: chuàngzàoyíng yàzhōu dìèrjì), also known as Chuang Asia 2025, is a Chinese/Thai reality competition show by Tencent. It is the sixth entry to the Chuang franchise, an idol survival series originally based in China, and the second entry to the Chuang Asia series, following Chuang Asia: Thailand . It premiered on February 2, 2025, and air every Sunday at 16:50 (UTC+7) on WeTV.[1]
The show gathered sixty male trainees from nine countries to fight for a spot in the final boy group.
Promotion
[edit ]On May 10, 2024, a month after the end of Chuang Asia: Thailand , it was announced that a second season of the series is in the work, featuring male trainees.[2] Application to audition for the show was opened on the same day, and ended on September 30.[3]
In October, photos of trainees that have passed the audition surfaced online, including Thai actors Ben Benjamin and Ole Thanakorn known from the series Caged Again (2024) and Monster Next Door (2024) respectively, Thai idol Peanut from the boy group The7, and participants of past idol shows: Smart from Laz Icon (2021), Champ from Project Alpha (2022), and Hu Yetao from Produce Camp 2021 (2021), the fourth entry to the Chuang franchise.[4]
On December 30, a teaser trailer was released, featuring winners of previous Chuang entries—Rocket Girls 101's Yang Chaoyue, R1SE's Zhou Zhennan and Yao Chen, BonBon Girls 303's Chen Zhuoxuan, Into1's Liu Yu, Rikimaru, Mika and Nine, and Gen1es—speaking about their experience in Chuang.[5] That same day, the trainees of Chuang Asia: Season 2 appeared and performed at the Amazing Thailand Countdown 2025 event at the mixed-use development centre Iconsiam in Bangkok.[6] [7]
Mentors
[edit ]On December 24, a teaser image was posted on Chuang Asia's social media pages, hinting at the identity of the show's mentors.[8] Two days later, leaked photos from the Chuang Asia: Season 2 set revealed that the show had begun filming.[9] Chinese dancer and Seventeen member The8, Taiwanese actress Ariel Lin, Chinese singer Tia Ray, Thai actress and model Yaya, Thai singer and Chuang Asia: Thailand mentor Jeff Satur, and Thai rapper and Got7 member BamBam were also seen arriving to the set.[9] All of them except Ariel Lin were later confirmed as the show's mentors on January 15, with The8 and BamBam additionally also serving as the show's producers. Ariel Lin was then announced as a guest mentor for the premiere episode.[10]
