Produce 101 is a reality television talent competition franchise created by South Korean entertainment conglomerate CJ E&M, based around the formation of a K-pop girl group or boy group. The format is noted for having no panel of judges, employing audience participation to make decisions, and for starting with a very large number of competitors, 101, narrowing that number down to a final 11. The franchise began in 2016 and has since expanded to China and Japan.

The franchise has attracted a wide following in Asia. More than 10 million people cast votes during the finale of Season 2 in 2017, equivalent to a fifth of South Korea's population.[1] In 2018, the eight episodes of Produce 101 China attracted more than 4.3 billion views on Tencent Video.[2]

Following the Mnet vote manipulation investigation, on November 14, 2019, producer Ahn Joon-young partially admitted to rigging the votes of all seasons of Produce 101 during police questioning. He was arrested before over allegations of bribery and fraud in the franchise.[3]
