Fans Demand Public Apology and Vetting Reform After Boys Planet II Trainee’s Hate Posts Surface

Peng Jin Yu’s private DM apology fails to quell outrage over past hate speech, with no response from Mnet on its vetting process.

Overview

  • Screenshots reveal Peng Jin Yu compared aespa members to dogs, mocked TWICE’s Tzuyu over a Taiwan flag incident, and called Jungkook a “wild boar” and “violent.”
  • Peng Jin Yu’s participation in a promotional challenge dancing to Jungkook’s “Seven” drew accusations of opportunistic hypocrisy.
  • His apology arrived in a private direct message framing the comments as part of fanwar drama rather than genuine hatred.
  • Online campaigns are pressing Mnet to disclose its background-check procedures for Boys Planet II contestants.
  • The dispute has reignited ARMY versus BLINK tensions and intensified calls for transparency in K-pop talent selection.
