Not Chefs, but Singers! Netflix Variety Show “Black and White Singers: Vocal Class War” Set for 2027

Netflix’s variety show 〈Black and White Singers: Vocal Class War〉 is a music survival competition pitting “White Singers,” whose names alone are a genre, against “Black Singers,” who hide their identities and step forward to prove their worth through their voices alone. In a fierce battle for survival that transcends years in the industry, experience and name recognition, contestants will go all out with nothing but their singing, bringing viewers around the world the thrilling excitement of a “K-vocal survival competition.”

What’s more, anticipation is building for the reunion of producers hailed as the best in survival-variety television. Kim Hak-min, who sparked a sensation with the 〈Culinary Class Wars〉 series, and Park Seong-hwan, whose 〈Just Makeup〉 made waves by bringing the fresh subject of “K-beauty” to a survival competition, are joining forces again after 〈Sing Again〉 to stage a contest that will determine the best vocalists. Viewers are eager to see how the two, who have opened new frontiers in survival-variety shows with their original formats and concepts, will get audiences cheering this time.

The lineup is also fueling curiosity: “White Singers” representing Korean popular music, and “Black Singers,” who take the stage with everything but their voices concealed. Their unscripted stories, decided by singing alone on a stage where they have set aside their names and careers, are already something to look forward to.

The production team behind 〈Black and White Singers: Vocal Class War〉 said, “We’re excited to expand the ‘black and white’ universe into a new arena—music—after 〈Culinary Class Wars〉.” They added, “Will the legendary singers appearing as White Singers live up to their reputations, or will the Black Singers, ready to astonish the world, turn the tables? Look forward to the thrilling battles and unpredictable twists in another class war.” 〈Black and White Singers: Vocal Class War〉, which aims to spark a new “black and white” phenomenon through the power of voice alone, will premiere on Netflix in 2027.
