Yet, the reason the concerns are heightened is due to the upcoming second series of Mnet’s Boys Planet.
During the first season, netizens were shocked by seeing some of the already well-known idol names, including PENTAGON‘s Hui, former TO1 members, and members of UP10TION.
As VERIVERY’s post mentioned a date, it coincided with news of the show.

Concerns have always been rampant when established idols are rumored to appear on this kind of show, with anger that companies haven’t promoted them enough to focus on their career or criticism of it, taking away opportunities from others.
