The other two members are Olly Quinn, 20, who is a childhood chorister, and is now wading into the world of pop and Reese Carter, also 20, who has previously worked as a performer on cruise ships, but is now pursuing his boyband dreams.
The six-part series will follow Blaise, Dexter, James, Oliver and Reese as they are put through the K-pop training process with the goal of launching Dear Alice, a new boy band on the global stage.
Cameras will go behind closed doors at K-pop talent powerhouse SM Entertainment for the first time to witness the band working with the world’s greatest choreographers, singing songs from the best songwriters, and being tutored by some of the most revered experts in the K-Pop business.
Filmed in South Korea, the show will immerse the wannabe pop stars in K-pop culture.
They will be put through the original K-pop training process for 100 days including choreography, vocal and performance lessons, life coaching techniques, alongside an immersion into all aspects of Korean life - set against Seoul’s striking landscapes and iconic K-pop locations.
Each week the band’s progress is critiqued by undisputed K-pop expert, Hee Jun Yoon, the creative force behind some of the biggest K-pop bands of the last 20 years.
Meanwhile X Factor and Britain's Got Talent mogul Simon Cowell has set out on a quest to find the next One Direction after admitting there had not been a group as successful since, with plans for the search to appear in a Netflix documentary called The Midas Touch.

Simon Cowell has revealed that his search for 'the next One Direction' will include a 'never-before-seen' format, after a disappointing turnout for the first round of auditions
The music mogul recently set out on a quest to find the next incarnation of the boy band after admitting there had not been a group as successful since One Direction (pictured in 2014)
And speaking on This Morning, Simon admitted that he has 'no idea' where the format for his show will go.
He told Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary: 'I have no idea how this is going to end because until we find the band that's sort of it but there is something I'm going to do in the middle which I've never done before which I'll tell you about later.'
Vick's latest project comes after she enjoyed a jet-setting summer, holidaying in Ibiza and Paris.
The star looked more loved-up than ever with husband Calvin Harris, 40, as she shared a glimpse into her summer so far with a number of leggy snaps no Instagram.
One snap saw her putting on a racy display in a plunging gold mesh dress, with a fringe skirt and halterneck design, showing off some major sideboob.
Vick cosied up to Calvin, who flashed a glimpse of his toned chest in a patterned shirt, left partially unbuttoned.
And the couple could be see mixing with some fellow famous faces, including rapper Flavor Flav, fellow Radio 1 DJ Arielle Free and Love Island star Olivia Attwood.
Vick also shared photos of her giggling while presenting a birthday cake to her youngest brother Gabe, 26.
Showing off her jet-setting lifestyle, she included snaps of her in Paris, as well as watching Calvin perform in Ibiza.
