BLITZERS’ Chris exposes harsh reality after Boys II Planet elimination: members working part-time jobs to survive.
Chris dropped a video titled “Nugu K-Pop Idol Truth EXPOSED” following his recent exit from the survival show Boys II Planet. He revealed the struggles BLITZERS faces as a smaller group from a less wealthy company.
Chris started by explaining his elimination and how many idols on the show, including himself, hoped to boost their group’s visibility.
He said BLITZERS hasn’t been active lately and listed survival and reality programs they joined trying to break through.
Chris bluntly admitted the group “don’t have enough money for a comeback.”
He added the members are working part-time at their company’s cafe to help pay bills and keep the group afloat.
Fans have long wondered why some idols turn to other platforms for content. Chris laid it out plainly: it’s a survival move to promote BLITZERS and keep his idol career alive.
Chris ended by promoting their group and cafe, promising fans a return soon.
Netizens reacted with heartbreak and support, noting this is a common harsh reality for many K-pop groups lost in the industry’s oversaturation.
“They come from a small company, we don’t have enough money for a comeback.”
– Chris, BLITZERS
“The members are working part-time jobs in the cafe, which is basically their company.”
– Chris, BLITZERS
