Koreans Debate Final Lineup For “Boys II Planet” ALPHA DRIVE ONE (ALD1)

After months of intense performances and global voting, Boys II Planet finally revealed the members of its debut boy group, ALPHA DRIVE ONE (ALD1). But as with every survival show, the finale sparked fiery debate online.

Some netizens were left stunned by the eliminations, especially as popular trainees who dominated fan polls throughout the season failed to secure a debut spot. One such contestant includes Yoo Kangmin from VERIVERY.

On the other hand, supporters of the chosen members rejoiced. Many celebrated the debut of long-time favorites, praising their growth and stage presence. Still, the announcement wasn’t without criticism. Several fans questioned the group’s balance, pointing out that ADL1 seemed to lean more heavily towards foreign members. They have three Chinese members and one Australian.

• Why are there so many Chinese members?
• Why so many Chinese? Remove some of them.
• It’s a relief there’s no Japanese members.
• Take out the Chinese… This is such a con for them.
• Chinese? Barf.

Despite the split opinions, one thing was certain: ADL1 had successfully captured public attention. Netizens will be watching closely as the group takes its first steps into the industry.
