On November 8, the survival show Time Turner aired its first episode.

Time Turner plans to search for a new generation of global entertainers. The audition will take place in an area of space-time known as P-134, somewhere with infinite potential and where dreams come true through time travel. The winners will debut as Time Turners who journey through time while creating music and art.

From the show’s start, many were less than impressed with both the program and some of its participants. The show aired on TikTok, and many believed it was simply a scheme to make money for the allegedly pre-selected group.

Hello, this is PI Corporation.

After long discussions, we have mutually agreed that Yu Ting (Yuk Woo-jeong), who was selected as a final member of the girl group audition Time Turner, will step down from the group to pursue other dreams.

The other members have also decided to respect Yu Ting’s decision.

We sincerely thank everyone who has supported Yu Ting of I Met You (IMETYOU) thus far.

We are deeply grateful for Yu Ting’s dedication and hard work from the audition to the present, and we will continue to cheer for her in all her future endeavors.

We wish Lu Yuting the best in her future endeavors!
