Apparently he was in A-Class too.

 

 

 

I found it so weird that he didn't specify that he was Korean-American when he introduced himself and said he was from America. I think omitting that kind of information is kind of like lying.

 

I wonder though. Why didn't he try out for P101 Season 4?

What did he do ?? About the nationality,i can understand why he didnt specify that he was korean america there is still THAAD going on. Though if you are american it was fine but perhaps he was afraid that it would effect the votes. I mean there are some people who hates korean in china or chinese in korea and so on. Even jang wonyoung also didnt specify what her ethnicity really are in pd1013. The reason he was in id2 probably bcs he realized being idol in china is more profitable than in korea for the long run.

It sucks. Because of politics, you can't even specify what your ethnicity is.

Why would he need to specify it? Don't think it's part of the rules. Also no one knows if he's been kicked out or withdrew. 

 

It's not like there isn't a Korean in a Chinese group before.

Ethnicity is extremely important in every non-Western country lmao.

He can't even identify himself as Korean even if he wanted to because of THADD.
