It has been revealed that the format of JTBC‘s hit variety program “Hidden Singer” was sold to NBC Universal in order to remake into an US version.

A rep from Jtbc said, “After broadcasting ‘Hidden Singer’ we got many love-calls from various networks to buy the program's copyright. After a year of negotiation, we decided to sell the format to NBC Universal, which is a popular network owning channel NBC, CNBC, Bravo, and E!. They also imported the format of ‘The Voice‘ from the Netherlands and made it a big hit in the world”

“Hidden Singer” is a singing program in which real singers compete with non-celebrities who have similar voices. Audience will vote for the voice they prefer to decide the winner. Fans are expecting the US version to have many famous singers' participation.
