StandBIMe First Broadcast Set for June 19 on Wavve as Gender-Boundary Dating Reality Show

Wavve’s new original dating reality show StandBIMe is scheduled to make its first release on June 19, 2026, as a program centered on romantic possibilities beyond gender-based conditions. The show has been introduced as a format in which cast members face genuine emotions and explore where their feelings lead, rather than following a fixed relationship structure.¹

The first broadcast has drawn attention because multiple Korean entertainment reports describe StandBIMe as a dating reality program that does not place gender boundaries at the center of its romantic choices. Wavve has released an official poster and a first teaser ahead of the premiere, positioning the program as a new original title in its entertainment lineup.¹

StandBIMe First Broadcast Confirmed for June 19

The confirmed release date for StandBIMe is June 19, 2026, on Wavve. Yonhap News Agency reported that Wavve will unveil the new original entertainment program on that date, with participants focusing on feelings they develop for one another regardless of whether the other person is male or female.²

Newsis also reported the June 19 premiere date and described the program as a romance show that does not draw a boundary around gender. The same coverage relayed Wavve’s framing that the cast members do not set a boundary on the direction of the heart.³

That focus places the first broadcast at the center of the program’s public introduction. Rather than presenting StandBIMe only as another dating variety show, Wavve’s description emphasizes the emotional process: participants meet, observe their own reactions, and seek the direction of the relationships they want. The available source material does not provide a full cast list, episode count, running time, or release schedule beyond the first release date.

The title is styled in Korean sources as “스탠바이미,” while the main English keyword StandBIMe reflects the program name used for search and international-facing reference. The platform named across the reports is Wavve, and the show is identified as a Wavve original.

A Dating Format Built Around Open-Ended Feelings

The core premise of StandBIMe is its departure from the familiar pairing assumptions often used in dating entertainment. iMBC Entertainment reported that the show moves away from established relationship patterns in romance variety programming and follows participants as they get to know one another and confirm their emotions.⁴

Hankook Ilbo described the program as launching as Korea’s first bisexual dating program and reported that it is produced by the company behind His Man, with Kim Hyun-kyung serving as director.⁵ That production detail is one of the few staff-related facts available in the supplied reports, and it helps define how the show is being positioned in relation to earlier Korean dating reality formats.

The first teaser also appears to reinforce the program’s question-based framing. One quoted line from the teaser asks, “What gender were you expecting?”⁵ Another teaser quote reported by Newspim says, “Let’s keep it open, that’s why we came out here, right?”⁶ Both lines are brief, but they align with the publicly described format: participants are presented as entering the show with room for unexpected emotional directions.

Newspim reported that the official poster shows the backs of three men and women, suggesting relationships not fixed in a single direction, while the teaser presents increasingly complicated romantic lines and emotional changes.⁶ These promotional materials are part of the first-broadcast rollout, but the available source material does not identify individual participants or reveal specific relationship outcomes.

The emphasis on “real emotions” is repeated in Wavve’s own announcement, which described the show as looking beyond gender conditions and toward various possibilities of love.¹ That official framing is important because it sets the program’s stated scope before the first episode is released: the narrative is not only about who chooses whom, but about how participants recognize and respond to attraction under less conventional dating-show rules.

What Viewers Know Before the Premiere

Ahead of the first broadcast, the most firmly established facts are the platform, date, format, and production positioning. StandBIMe is a Wavve original. It premieres on June 19, 2026. It is a dating reality show focused on relationships and attraction beyond gender boundaries. It has been introduced through an official poster and first teaser.¹

What remains unavailable from the provided source material is just as relevant for readers tracking the program. There is no confirmed full participant lineup in the supplied reports. There is no detailed episode calendar beyond the first release date. There is also no source-backed information here on whether all episodes will be released at once or weekly, or whether the show will include hosts, commentators, or studio panels.

That limited but consistent information leaves the first broadcast as the main confirmed event. The coverage from Wavve, Yonhap, Newsis, Hankook Ilbo, Newspim, and iMBC Entertainment all points to the same central update: StandBIMe is set to arrive on Wavve on June 19 as a dating reality program organized around open-ended romantic possibilities.
