Mydol (stylized as MyDol or MyDOL) is a South Korean reality show that documented the formation and debut process of the boy band, VIXX. It premiered on Mnet on April 12, 2012.
A group of 10 idol trainees under Jellyfish Entertainment are put through various activities and missions to determine the select few that will debut as part of a six-member idol group on May 24, 2012 on M! Countdown.
The first half of the series serves as an elimination-style competition among the 10 trainees, wherein the prospects who display the best talent and promise will be chosen by viewers to become part of the final group.
The second half of the series follows the early pre-debut activities of the final six members who have made it into the group.

The episode begins with all 10 trainees getting make up done for their first profile photo shoot at Y Studio. They are shot by renowned fashion photographer Choi Yong Bin. They start off with individual shoots followed by group shots, Daewon and Ravi are both lauded for their modelling. Later, the trainees are shown at their training studio, where they practice choreography by Yang Wook. After Yang Wook leaves, the trainees continue practicing the dance for several hours. The most recently added trainees - Yoonchul, Byoungjun & Hyuk - are singled out by N for not executing the choreography well.
The scene cuts back to three days prior, where the 3 newest trainees arrive at the dorm for the first time. Since the other trainees are out practicing, the dorm is empty and the three newbies unpack in a disorganized manner then share a meal. While they are eating, the original seven members arrive at the dorm much to both parties' surprise. Many of the original trainees are annoyed at the current state of the dorm and they share their concerns with the new additions and explain the rules of the dorm which include: Equal division of house chores, a ten-minute maximum on showers, punishment for disorganization and non ordering of food.
Back at current time, the next day the trainees head to their practice room for individual dance practice. Daewon, Ken and Hongbin assess the dance skills of the three newbies. It's determined that Byoungjun is most competent of the three and Hyuk and Yoonchul have room for improvement. A few days later all ten hopefuls have gathered in the practice room for their first individual evaluations. Among the judges are Jellyfish CEO Hwang Se Jun, Jellyfish artist Sung Si-kyung and choreographer Yang Wook.
