"Lim Sang-won" made a verbal slip on stage during 'Boys Planet'.
On the 17th, the first broadcast of the Mnet survival program 'Boys Planet K' took place. This 'Boys Planet' is divided into two teams, Planet K and Planet C, and only participants who prove their worth through fierce competition can meet in 'Boys Planet' to continue their debut competition.
The broadcast that day depicted the ranking battle of the participants from Planet K. 'Boys Planet' is divided into ranks: All-Star, Two-Star, and One-Star. At the end of each mission, the lowest rank is immediately eliminated. In the ranking battle, each rank is assigned through team performances, and participants deemed ineligible for rank assignment by the masters are immediately eliminated as 'No Stars.'
Meanwhile, Lee Ri-o and "Lim Sang-won" took the stage for the ranking battle. Lee Seok-hoon asked, "You have a long trainee history. Did you only do that at this company?" and "Lim Sang-won" explained, "I was previously at Big Hit Music." Hyolyn inquired, "What is Trainee A?" and Lee Ri-o revealed, "It started with just the two of us, and we became the Trainee A debut team at Big Hit Music."
During the preliminary audition, the production team asked, "But you didn't debut?" and "Lim Sang-won" replied, "There were various circumstances, and I also left my agency back then, so I couldn't debut." He added, "To be honest, I didn't want to anymore back then. I think it was a time when I was contemplating having done part-time work at a cafe. I really wanted to give up on being an idol and wanted to quit. I think it took a long time."
Amidst all this, Lee Ri-o called "Lim Sang-won" and said, "I will go on 'Boys Planet'. Let's debut together." "Lim Sang-won" shared, "When Ri-o-hyung suggested it, I thought that he also still wanted to debut with me. It seems like both of us have regrets about not having been able to work together as part of a team, and I think that way too. Once I thought I needed to do this, I wanted to put a period on it. Since I thought this was the last time, I gathered my courage once again."
Vocal master Lim Han-byeol noted, "I don't know if only I feel this way, but the two friends seem very gloomy and depressed. I think it's because their trainee life has been too long. Isn't being a trainee tough? It's about waiting without a promise. If a bird that can soar high is kept in a cage, it seems it can only fly within that cage, feeling trapped. I sincerely hope they can shake off the frustration and sorrow through this performance today. Keep going strong!"
"Lim Sang-won" said, "I was really nervous. Since it's been a long time, I thought I should show a better and cooler side." The two performed ENHYPEN's 'No Doubt'. However, towards the end of the performance, an incident occurred where "Lim Sang-won's" shoe came off, and startled, he exclaimed, "Oh man!" causing surprise.
After the performance, Lee Seok-hoon said, "This is the first time I've heard someone say 'Oh man!' in the middle of a stage." "Lim Sang-won" knelt down, not knowing what to do. Lee Seok-hoon reassured him, saying, "It's okay. I can understand. Honestly, we vocal masters were very worried because no one came out to sing the chorus. When Ri-o stepped in, I was really pleased from the moment I heard it. Also, 'Lim Sang-won' did very well. He has a great voice."
Dance master Kinky said, "There have been many praises for the singing, but you danced well too. It was excellent, and of course it was due to the mistake of 'Lim Sang-won.' In the end, I found myself laughing, and it looked good to see you smile. I hope you can regain your laughter and enjoy the stage more." Hyolyn also encouraged, "I hope you can only show us the image of moving forward, as I think there is no place to retreat from here."
In the test results, both Lee Ri-o and "Lim Sang-won" were 'All-Stars'. "Lim Sang-won" expressed, "I want to do it again. I want to do this moment again, and my shoe flew off, plus I made a verbal mistake... I'm someone who swears a lot, so it's really not that. I really appreciate that it went through so smoothly, so I will have to work hard."
