Iriyo and Lee Sang-won, former members of the debut group of the new boy group "Trainee A" from Big Hit Music, participated in "Boys Planet."
On the 17th, the first broadcast of the Mnet survival program "Boys Planet K" took place. This "Boys Planet" is divided into two teams, Planet K and Planet C, where participants engage in fierce competition, and only those who prove their value will earn the right to continue competing for debut in "Boys Planet."
During this broadcast, the first meeting of the Planet K participants was depicted, and trainees from a company called "Grid," which was unfamiliar to everyone, attracted attention.
Participants tilted their heads upon hearing the company name "Grid." However, when Iriyo and Lee Sang-won made their appearances in turn, it instantly turned into exclamations of surprise.
Heo Ji-o noted, "I think the trainees probably all know about it." It turned out that they had been active as members of the debut group of the new boy group "Trainee A" from Big Hit Music.
Jeong Han-eum was surprised, saying, "He was a central member even in the previous group," and Oh Jun-ho expressed his admiration, stating, "I used to watch a lot of YouTube. Their channel."
Park Dong-kyu shared, "I was following their YouTube channel so well, but at some point, they disappeared. I wondered where they had gone," while Shin Jae-ha expressed, "As soon as they appeared, I was really chilling. It felt like I was seeing a celebrity."
Meanwhile, Big Hit Music revealed the next boy group debut team under the name "Trainee A" in 2021. At the time, they started promotions by launching YouTube and social media accounts, but after halting all social media in September 2022, they officially announced the project's termination in December, signaling the cancellation of the debut.
