Former MYTEEN member Kim Kook Heon shared his sad past experiences on the variety show 'Chef Paik & Les Miserables', which aired on November 30, 2024. In the event, Kim Kook Heon honestly shared his bad experiences in the past which successfully moved the audience.
He introduced himself as a failed idol and an unemployed 28-year-old man. He tried to package his bitter experiences with humor to make it sound light. As reported by Allkpop on Wednesday December 4, 2024, Kim Kook Heon is a member of the group MYTEEN which debuted in 2017.
His activities with the group did not last long because they did not get much attention. In 2019, Kim Kook Heon participated in Mnet 's survival show ' Produce X 101 '. Unfortunately, he was eliminated before advancing to the final round.
Looking back on the experience, the 28-year-old former idol thought that celebrity life would be his soon after debut, but the results were the opposite. "I thought that life as a celebrity would be revealed after debut, but it turns out that there was little interest in us," said Kim Kook Heon.
That was the reason the agency sent him to the survival show 'Produce X 101' with another MYTEEN member, Song Yu Bin. At that time, the Mnet Produce series survival show was known as the most popular competition event.
"The company wanted to promote us quickly, so we went on a survival show. I also wanted to take advantage of that opportunity," he added. During the program, Kim Kook Heon and Song Yu Bin attracted attention with their handsome facial features and mature skills.
He also always ranked at the top. Many viewers of the survival show 'Produce X 101' thought he would advance to the final round without any problems. However, Kim Kook Heon's elimination in the third place announcement surprised everyone.
A year later, the controversy over the manipulation of votes on 'Produce X 101' by Mnet emerged and it was revealed that Kim Kook Heon was one of the victims. This made him depressed and almost decided to end his life. "I once opened the door on the highway, thinking about jumping out.
It was a painful memory that made me want to end my life," said Kim Kook Heon. After leaving MYTEEN, Kim Kook Heon and Song Yu Bin formed a sub-unit called BOY in 2021. He also participated in TV Chosun's 'Tomorrow National Singer', but was eliminated in the early rounds. Then, Kook Heon and Yu Bin created the YouTube channel 'hzipbzip'.
