Superstar K 7

Superstar K 2016 (Korean : 슈퍼스타 K 2016) is the eighth season of the South Korean television talent show series Superstar K, which premiered on 22 September 2016 on Mnet and aired Thursday nights at 9:40PM KST. Eliminations are determined in every episode, based on text message votes and online votes that are open to the entire public. The winner of Superstar K 2016, Kim Young-geun, won 500,000,000 won (US$470,990). [1] This was the last season of the show to be produced, due to much lower viewership ratings than in past seasons. [2] Kim Bum-soo returned as a judge. This season saw the addition of Gummy, Gil Seong-joon, Kim Yeon-woo, Brave Brothers, Ailee, and Han Sung-ho  [ ko ]. This was the largest lineup of judges in the show's history, totaling 7. [3]

This is the first season to be produced by Signal Entertainment Group for Mnet due to the 2 billion won contract between the former and Mnet's owners CJ E&M in May 2016. Signal was the production company behind the Mnet programs Produce 101 and I Can See Your Voice . [4]
