Sangwon causes a stir on Boys Planet 2 with an uncensored Korean expletive during debut evaluation.
During the premiere’s level rank audition, former HYBE trainees Sangwon and Leo performed ENHYPEN’s “No Doubt.” The spotlight turned to Sangwon when his shoe flew off mid-performance. Flustered, he let out an audible “Aish,” a soft Korean curse roughly translating to “Ah, f*ck.”
The moment aired uncensored, catching judges and viewers off guard. Judges struggled to keep straight faces, some even chuckling openly. The clip quickly went viral on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), sparking a mix of laughter and empathy.
Many fans praised the duo for bringing genuine, unpolished energy to the intense audition. Others related to the pressure, especially with a wardrobe malfunction on stage after a six-year hiatus from performing publicly.
> _처음에존나웃엇는데생각해보니까개슬픔
> 아니6년만에처음으로 이렇게많은사람들앞에서
> 무대한건데 신발날라감시발_
Translation:
> _“At first I was f*cking ROFLing but then, after thinking about it, it’s so sad. It’s the first time he’s standing in front of people in 6 years, and his shoe just fell off, f*ck.”_
The profanity was subtle but added raw authenticity, making **Sangwon** instantly memorable on *Boys Planet 2*.
