[theqoo] PRODUCE 2’S CHEWING GUM KIM DONGBIN’S CURRENT WHEREABOUTS

Hi, I’m the guy who topped Naver’s real-time search rankings as “Produce 101 Season 2 Chewing Gum,” made it to the final rounds on Produce X 101, only to get eliminated again… Yeah, I failed to debut in Korea time and time again, so I even went to China, but due to the “ban on Korean content,” I couldn’t debut there either, and ended up trending on Weibo with the hashtag “Kim Dongbin failed to debut again.” Yep, that’s me. Thank you for visiting my YouTube channel.

You were probably surprised that I joined a YouTube label, right? I wasn’t really surprised myself. I’m going to work hard at anything and everything to achieve my dream, so let’s have some fun together from now on!

You can catch us every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday starting at 4:00 PM KST on the Stardom Label official YouTube channel!! We’re preparing a variety of performances and great chemistry with our handsome and charming friends, so I’d really appreciate it if you stopped by often!

I’ll also be doing personal streams on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, so please come check them out!”

Joins a YouTube Excel channel as Kim Doyoon

Not sure if this is his legal name or stage name

(T/N: “Excel channel” is Korean internet slang referring to a type of live-streaming broadcast (usually on SOOP/AfreecaTV or YouTube) where the host manages streamers (called BJs) using an “Excel sheet” ranking system.

The name comes from the fact that the host literally displays or keeps track of:

– How many virtual gifts (balloons, super chats, etc.) each participant earns

– Rankings of the participants

– Revenue totals

– Performance targets

The broadcasts are often structured like a competition, with the “Excel” or leaderboard being the central feature.)

1. Just leave him alone. He’s been on survival shows for years and got eliminated every time,

and even after going to China, they still couldn’t make their debut.

All he’s learned is how to dance and sing, so unless you’re willing to spend your own money to support him as a fan, just leave him be. THere’sno reason to criticize people who are getting by without doing anything illegal

2. Ew

3. It’s not just regular livestreaming, it’s an Excel broadcast… damn…

4. I feel bad for him… but if only he learned Chinese, he would’ve at least have an edfe

5. It’s kind of sad… I remember he was part of the debut group with that “Starlight” or whatever, but he never got to promote at all ㅜㅜ He has just gotten older… It’s been almost 10 years since Produce 2

6. What’s different between being a BJ and an idol anyways?

7. I heard that the girl who was on the next debut group but got cut this time also made it into that group

8. Can he just do normal YouTube;….

9. Does that show also go overboard with stuff like mimicking s*x**l acts and stuff like that?

10. It makes me sad………
