On April 20, 2024, revealed teasers inviting any male to apply for the show. The program will be produced by the creators of Sing Again and will air in the second half of 2024. On September 11, it was announced that the show will premiere on October 18.
The final group will be managed by UNCORE, a label established by SLL. On December 27, the finale aired revealing the group's name as CLOSE YOUR EYES, with Ma Jing Xiang ranking 1st, Kenshin ranking 2nd, Jeon Min Wook ranking 3rd, Seo Kyoung Bae ranking 4th, Song Seung Ho ranking 5th, Jang Yeo Jun ranking 6th and Kim Sung Min ranking 7th. On January 10, 2025, UNCORE announced that they will be taking legal action against one of the members' agencies.
They claim that an agency had scheduled one of the group member to have activities with another group. However, CLOSE YOUR EYES' contract says that the members are not allowed to engage in activities outside of the project group without UNCORE approval in order to avoid schedule conflicts. Later that day, PocketDol Studio refuted UNCORE's claims, stating that they did provide them pre-existing schedule plans dating back to prior the show's premiere, to coordinate timeline.
They were made aware of the dual activities prohibition only after the final lineup was announced, contrary to what was originally planned, and asked to revise the contract to allow it. They further claimed that the agency lied and that communications with UNCORE and their own artists were cut off, and they had to file a missing person report for both artists, especially as Kenshin is a minor and a foreigner under PocketDol's legal care. On January 16, UNCORE refuted all allegations in a new statement.
