It's a shame The Unit didn't get popular. Although I didn't like most of the original songs, it was less spartiate and inhumane than Produce 101. The final ranking was also a bit sus tho, so they're no better than MNET on that aspect.

I'm glad he didn't give up even tho he seriously considered it after having to do the rookie cycle all over again for the 4th time. Wishing him the best in his new group, BAE173. The story about his (adoptive) mom was so touching. Just discovered this channel and I like that they're a plateform that gives the opportunity for artists to talk more candidly about their life instead of the usual what's your 'ideal type' questions.

I didn't watch Produce but the whole atmosphere in The Unit was indeed friendly and warm especially near the end. Despite some initial clashes for "drama" the participants were supportive of each other, with a lot of them staying close friends after the show.

It's nice that he continues to speak openly about his adoption. His mom sounds like an amazing person. I have little faith in MBK/Pocketdol but I really wish him the best.

i didn't know that about his past. that's very interesting.
also i didnt know anything about his new group. does anyone make a post about them here? hope they don't flop. poor kids.

They had a pretty modest but not complete flop debut. I believe they sold 15k album and reached 11 million views. Tbh, this is better than what expected so I'm pleasantly surprised. Lol

Waves of light and me post about them from time to time but they don't have fans on omona so there's not many posts since there's not much interest/interactions (in this community).
