For those who haven’t been following, allegations have surfaced regarding Park Jun Hwan’s past behavior during his middle school years. These aren’t minor rumors; they are grave accusations from former classmates, including:
Misogynistic behavior: Reports describe him allegedly making degrading comments about female classmates and evaluating their appearances.
Involvement in deepfake creation: Perhaps the most disturbing accusation is his alleged participation in creating deepfake photographs of female classmates. This is a serious ethical and legal violation that causes immense harm to victims.
School bullying and other concerning conduct: There are also whispers of general bullying and other unsavory actions during his school days.
Beyond these incredibly serious allegations, there’s also been considerable fan confusion and frustration about his inclusion in the final lineup. Many viewers of “Debut’s Plan” noted his relatively short training period (reportedly around 5 months) and lower rankings in fan votes and board picks compared to other contestants who were fan favorites or had significantly longer training. This has led to speculation about favoritism or even potential nepotism.
Starship Entertainment has, so far, remained largely silent on these accusations. Their lack of a clear statement or action is only fueling the outrage and potentially jeopardizing the entire group’s future.
How can they let garbage like this debut?
