I'm so excited for the next episode of Produce 101 Season 2! However, I found some sad news. TT

I have my own list of 11 members that I want to debut. On my personal list is YG KPLUS's Kim Hyeonwoo. He's an eighteen year old TALL, very TALL Korean kid, who apparently likes to practice the Seoul accent, as his hobby.

Last week, he ranked 66, and this week he moved down to rank 82.

The Produce 101 Season 2 staff have made comments about eliminating up to forty trainees, which is way more than last seasons. Though, the staff have also stated that the male contestants aren't up to par with the girls of last season. Compared to the girls, there is apparently less skilled trainees with the boys this year. The trainers are extra tough, and coming on strong but they clearly care. At the end of the day, they have a job to do, and only 11 trainees will be able to debut with the newly formed future idol group.

I was hoping that the 101 staff would increase the number of trainees able to debut in the end. Watching the show, one really feels the trainees frustrations, sadness, and desperation to debut. You might cry! It’s that touching at times…

Nevertheless, I’m quite worried about Kim Hyeonwoo. He’s currently in the red, and at risk of being cut. He’s also currently in F class. F class as many know is the lowest level on the show, characterized by the gray sweater they have to wear. These guys have it rough.

The higher the class one is, the more perks and special treatment one obtains. There have been evident rumors of mistreatment of trainees. Some labels stated that their trainees that were of lower classes didn’t get much food and were only left with scraps, basically. So, the food is even apparently divided by rank and class.

This happened last season. The gray shirts were there and I think F class trainees didn’t even get any air or stage time at the big mnet performance. But things allegedly have gotten worse.

I’m worried for Hyeonwoo. I haven’t seen much from him yet, save for his pretty face and height. He shows promise as a model and could be the visuals in an idol group. There are just some people that shine through the darkness. He just has that something. I’m sure of it. I don’t want him to become lost in the grayness that is F class. Here’s to hoping he gets enough time to learn, grow, and shine! Until the end, I will root for him!

I haven’t found a fan club for him yet. Maybe there isn’t one so I could start one. Please check his Instagram out and support him on the show! You know I will. Check him out but not too hard, and tell me what you think.

Love & Rockets!
