As the controversy over the character of 'Boys Planet 2' participant Kim Gun-woo arose, he appeared in the first broadcast without any editing.
The Mnet survival program 'Boys Planet K', which aired its first episode on the 17th, depicted the competition between Planet K and Planet C.
On this day, Kim Gun-woo, who had drawn attention as the center of the signal song, appeared. The participants praised Kim Gun-woo's looks, saying, "He's so handsome that I couldn't take my eyes off him," "He looks like a model," and "He looks like he came out of a cartoon."
Kim Gun-woo is a participant whose character controversy spread recently after a post appeared in an online community. The author of the post claimed that when Kim Gun-woo was a trainee at a certain entertainment company in the past, he ignored or was rude to some staff members, relying on favoritism. It was also mentioned that there were trainees who left voluntarily after paying penalties due to his verbal attacks mixed with personal insults.
In addition, the author disclosed evidence such as the company's document envelope, trainee contracts, and psychiatric treatment records.
In response, on the 17th, the 'Boys Planet 2' team stated, "The production team recognizes the seriousness of this matter and is currently verifying the facts regarding the allegations raised on social media."
They added, "We are gathering accurate information through the individuals mentioned in the post, as well as those who worked at B Entertainment at the time and related individuals," and "We are also closely examining whether there are any legal issues involved."
Meanwhile, 'Boys Planet 2' is a program where trainees from K Planet, primarily in Korean, and C Planet, primarily from the Chinese-speaking region, compete against each other. 'Boys Planet K' aired its first episode on the 17th, and 'Boys Planet C' will premiere on the 18th at 9:20 PM.
