If So Yeon wasn’t surprising enough, netizens couldn’t hide their shock as the show announced their first-ever idol participant. During part five of the reveal, netizens were shocked to see Golden Child‘s Jangjun appear as part of the lineup.

Of course, fans of the group understood why he was picked because, despite his talent and hilarious personality, Jangjun is known for being extremely fit and athletic. He has particularly wowed netizens with his unreal figure, which made him a perfect pick for the cover of Men’s Health.

It was even revealed that the company asked him to stop exercising.

It didn’t stop the comments of the video being flooded by fans who couldn’t get over Jangjun’s unexpected career move. The group had their last comeback at the end of 2023 but Jangjun is still busy, hosting Weekly Idol and staying in contact with fans in different ways. Netizens are extremely excited to see what Jangjun can do and prove that idols aren’t just pretty faces on the stage.

With a lineup of athletes, celebrities, and those with normal professions, the new series will undoubtedly be as exciting as the first.
