Korean pop group 2NE1 will be appearing as guests in the new season of the American dating show “The Bachelor.”

The reality TV show will premiere on Jan. 6 next year on ABC with 32-year-old Juan Pablo Galavis, a former professional football player, as the bachelor.

As part of the new season’s dating trips in different parts of the world, Galavis and the bachelorettes went to Seoul in South Korea, Vietnam, New Zealand, Salt Lake City in Utah, Miami and St. Lucia.

According to ABC, one of the highlights of the season include private concerts by 2NE1, Romeo Santos and Josh Krajcik.

In Seoul, Galavis and six bachelorettes appear as backup dancers at 2NE1′s mini-concert at Times Square mall in Seoul. The taping in Seoul was held last September.

“Jetting off to Seoul, South Korea, Juan Pablo and the remaining women are submerged into a totally different culture,” according to ABC.

It said the Galavis and his bachelorettes were surprised when they learned that they would be the backup dancers for the K-pop group in front of fans.

“Six women are introduced to the South Korean K-pop superstar group 2NE1 who teach them one of their choreographed dances. They are shocked to find out that they will perform as their back up dancers in front of a huge audience of screaming fans,” ABC added.

From Seoul, Galavis and the women went to Vietnam, New Zealand, Miami and St. Lucia. Galavis is a single dad from Miami and his quest for love begins when he meets 27 bachelorettes.
