Netflix is expanding its wildly popular “class war” format into the world of music. Following the massive success of Culinary Class Wars, the streaming service has officially greenlit Vocal Class Wars, a new South Korean reality singing competition slated to premiere in 2027.
Vocal Class Wars is Netflix’s new South Korean reality singing competition from the creators of the popular Culinary Class Wars series. Studio Slam is producing the series, reuniting producer Kim Hak Min, who previously directed Culinary Class Wars, and Park Sung Hwan, who worked on the K-beauty competition Just Makeup. The pair previously worked together on JTBC’s drama series Sing Again.

The production team shared a statement on the exciting new series:
We are excited to expand the worldview of ‘Black and White’ to a new stage of music, following ‘Black and White Chef.’ Please look forward to the thrilling showdown and unpredictable twists of the class war that will unfold once again, whether the legendary singers appearing as white singers will maintain their reputation or the black singers who will surprise the world will turn the tables.
The format will follow a similar structure to Culinary Class Wars, this time with “White Singers” as the professionals and stars of their genres, and “Black Singers” as the challengers who hide their names and compete on their singing talent alone.
