Sadly, the contestant is going viral because of Taeil and Kim Soo Hyun after his photos and name were shared on TikTok…
@kickflipstans I thought Moon Jaeil’s name was just a joke for T💀 but i love him guys #moonjaeil #bmb #bemyboyz #fyp #jokes #4u
Netizens noticed that his name was the nickname many used for Taeil following the scandal, using a play on words for his name and combining it with jail.
Others thought the contestant’s face looked similar to Kim Soo Hyun, and shared their sympathy that Jaeil’s appearance might be overshadowed by his similarities to the two stars.
Although the exact premiere date has not been confirmed, tweets from the official account say it is expected to air sometime in June.
