OH users may remember previous threads about him, such as this one and this one

Probably noise marketing

but they robbed the trainee that could have debuted.

Whenever I see and read that name, my mind always subconsciously think of this guy

the ex-Kattun member and rapper with the exact same name

[starsocks]

he was definitely too young so this is absolutely for the best

but I feel really bad for the kid, he must be so crushed

if they hadn't made the stupid decision to put him on the show, he wouldn't have gone through this process and been given false hope

[Chiharu]

Dang, I feel bad for this kid. Obviously he was too young to debut, but in that case, he shouldn't have even been allowed on the show or included in the final lineup at all. Sucks for him to have this and then for it to be ripped away.

This must be having an awful impact psychologically, the whole thing is a mess.

Yeah I agree, I am putting the blame fully on Psy. Thought he was different, but guess the same as all the other entertainment companies. Greed above thinking about their artists wellbeing. 

[Quinn the Brain]

Good. Even in promo pictures he looked so OUT OF PLACE, like the younger brother from one of the members. It must be hard for him at this age but since he is young but not that much it can take at least 4 years for him to debut, or 5, even 7, which is a perfect time if P Nation debuts another bg.

Lol same.. as soon as I saw the title I was like huh?? He's joining a group again??

[Lubbin]

On one end he is mad young & is visibly that compared to the other members. On the other hand, it’s effed up cuz he earned his spot in the debut team just to get it taken from him

I’m glad he’s still under P nation, and hopefully can debut at a better time

This kid is way too young and it's fucked up how P Nation (Psy) was basically using him for publicity and noise marketing. 

[OutroTear]

He is a baby. They shouldn’t have even allowed him to participate on the show. It’s unfortunate that he made it to the final lineup just for this to happen 

[diclark]

psy probably wanted to debut him for real but realized it wasn't going to work out when they were preparing for debut. it's not even just a difference in maturity between the members (though that's important too), it's a size difference. how do you make choreo for a bunch of teenagers/young adults and this kid that barely reaches their shoulders?
