Kim Minjun of Boys II Planet Faces Backlash for Poor Signal Song Performance
Kim Minjun, the ModHaus trainee appearing on Boys II Planet Season 2, is under fire for his shaky debut performance. The show, a sequel to Boys Planet, features 154 trainees competing for 14 spots—seven Chinese and seven Korean members.
ModHaus announced Kim Minjun’s participation, raising expectations among fans. However, during the signal song performance—the first group dance showcase—Minjun stumbled several times and seemed unprepared.
Viewers quickly noticed he was watching other trainees mid-performance to catch on to the dance moves. Netizens slammed his skills and questioned why he’s even on the show.
“the handsomer, the worst at dancing… I hope he’ll improve greatly during the show, it wouldn’t the first time that happens”
— Twitter user 7“he does not want to be there”
— Twitter user nora“I have no idea what he’s trying to do right from the start, and it’s hilarious watching him roll his eyes and copy the dance in real time.”
— OP“Usually, even if people are really bad, they still memorize the signal song — but this person is just like me with 2 hours left before an exam, it’s hilarious.”

The backlash continues as Boys II Planet viewers debate Minjun’s readiness and commitment. This isn’t the first time a contestant has gone viral for negative reasons during the show’s early stages.
The controversy began immediately after the season kicked off on June 13. The show also faces criticism for trainee visuals, but Minjun’s shaky start is dominating conversations.
Fans and netizens are monitoring the situation closely to see if Kim Minjun can bounce back or if his early struggles will hurt his chances on Boys II Planet.
