Who Are Dear Alice?

Here’s the scoop: the show is a star-studded collaboration between Moon&Back Media, SM Entertainment, and SM & Kakao Entertainment America.

It’s all about putting the band, known as Dear Alice, through a rigorous regime of choreography, vocal coaching and performance critiques from K-pop experts. And yes, they’ll be doing some sightseeing in Seoul — just enough to make your travel dreams bubble up!

So, who are the daring lads diving into this K-pop experiment? Let’s introduce you to the quintet that’s about to steal the spotlight:

Blaise Noon, 19

From London, Blaise is the baby of the group. His journey started at the BRIT School, followed by Urdang Academy where he dived deep into dance and musical theatre. Blaise never imagined himself in a boy band until the audition call came. Now, he’s in Korea, living his dream and soaking up every bit of the K-pop magic.

Dexter Greenwood, 22

Also from London, Dexter’s been a performer since his teens, studying at D&B Academy of Performing Arts and recently graduating with a diploma. His bubbly and energetic nature made joining a pop group a natural choice. Dexter was already in Newcastle for a pantomime when he got the chance to audition in London. His family’s thrilled about his big break—his mum’s especially excited given her love for boy bands. Follow Dexter’s journey on Instagram @dexter.greenwood.

Olly Quinn, 20

Hailing from Sunderland, Olly’s background is as diverse as his talents. With a degree in Musical Theatre from Laine Theatre Arts and Bird College, Olly’s been in the performing arts scene for years, including a stint as a chorister. After leaving his performing arts studies, he dabbled in modeling and event work until he found out about the show. Skeptical at first, he went for it—and now he’s part of Dear Alice!
