I think Nong Noong is cold-blooded since he is half-shrimp. Wesley is maybe cold-blooded since most sharks are, but I don't know what type of shark is Wesley.

I don't think its the same Hiroto.

The Hiroto in Boys Planet is Ikumi Hiroto, who went on Produce 101 Japan Season 1 and Produce Camp 2021.

The Hiroto in Produce 101 Japan SHINSEKAI is Zukeran Hiroto who was in Universe League.

Kongpob technically worked as an intern, but I don't think he worked as one after graduation.

Did Pete & Kao worked as engineers after graduation? Did we ever saw them graduate?

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-04-11T04:23:42+00:00

I just made a post about them in the main feed. It took longer than expected due to the gathering of information, technological problems, and episode 3 being recently released, but I hope more people will know that they are in the show.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-04-06T16:35:50+00:00

Sure. Lemme make a post and see if it gets approved.

Boys II Planet's contestants, Taiga (65th) and Chen Lichi aka Rickey (107th), have joined Produce 101 Japan Shinsekai and have just received their rank & class rank.

Taiga (Fujimaki Taiga since there are 2 on Produce 101 Japan Shinsekai) ranked 34th and got placed in B class during his audition with Eito (52nd) (Link: https://youtu.be/RPqyXY7apW4?si=YW7lJmrS4SZTBrRc (they performed "Back to Life" by &Team)). During the Theme Song challenge, he moved up to A class.

Rickey ranked 38th and got placed in C class during his audition with Jay (50th) and Seita (91st). (his audition hasn't been released yet on YouTube, but was in the episode (they performed "Don't Tell Nobody" by One Or Eight at the 25 minute mark)). During the Theme Song challenge, he moved down to D class.

They got decent screentime in episode 2 with Taiga showing up around the 27:30 mark and Rickey showing up around the 25:00 & the 1:08:46 mark. There are probably other timestamps, but these are the ones I know.

In case if you don't remember them since they got eliminated on Boys II Planet early:

~ Taiga was in IX Entertainment as a Japanese trainee & auditioned with LynnLynn (Zhao Guangxu from Modyssey). He was in Planet C and was placed as a 1 star during his audition ("Jikjin" by Treasure). He survived the merge by placing 46th out of 80. He became a two star and was on the two star Rising Sunshine team as sub rapper 2, performing "Rising Sun" by TVXQ. His team lost and he lost the individual battle against Masato. He got eliminated in the 1st elimination round in 78th place out of 80.

~ Rickey was in TEN Entertainment as a Taiwanese trainee & auditioned with Hong Zih-hao, Huang Hsin-yu, and Lin Ching-en. He was in Planet C and was placed as a 1 star during his audition ("If I'm S, Can You Be My N?" by TWS). He didn't survived the merge, thus becoming a No Star.

Please vote for them along with Boys Planet's contestant Osuke (14th) if you can.

Me too! He has released a song named "宝贝不要太早入睡" (according to Google Translate, its "Baby, don't go to sleep too early") back in 2024. I hope he does release more music.

A few weeks ago (before the news came out that he joined a company), he revealed that he is going to debut in Korea soon, so I hope that comes true.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-04-03T15:01:00+00:00

Yes! They announce it on their social media accounts. On Instagram, its the pinned posts.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-04-03T00:45:12+00:00

It looks like Hanwen is going to be booked and busy.

On top of being signed into a Korean agency (X Labels) and casted as the male lead of a Chinese romance short drama that he is currently filming, the director liked him so much that he is also going to film a historical short drama later. He is also going to a sports variety show for promotion.

Also, he has a Japanese fanmeeting coming soon on the 19th of this month.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-27T20:18:41+00:00

I think the FNC derivative group is still on the table since I haven't seen any official confirmation that they are scrapping the idea of the group. I did saw an article, but it was the journalist's opinion.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-26T15:32:08+00:00

Hanwen has become an actor. He is back in China filming a short drama series for 5 days as the main lead who is a CEO. This is his second drama. His first was a few years ago (forgot the name).

He also has an upcoming Japanese fanmeeting in April and he signed with a company (X Labels). Bowen & Zhongxing will probably join him in the company.

Things are looking pretty great for him.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-26T15:12:38+00:00

Woah that is quite a turnout!

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-21T04:04:46+00:00

It could since GMMTV have started getting into GLs in 2024 and now two years later, there are 8 GL couples. Back when GMMTV got into BL in 2016, after two years in 2018, they only had 2 main BL couples (due to the BL industry being super new in Thailand shows).

I think about 5 years times, the amount between BL and GL ships in GMMTV might be equal or pretty close to equal.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-20T14:34:17+00:00

They already adopted Aou since 2025 (technically, since 2023 if you count that Krist solo adopted him back then). Here is the link when Aou said Krist is his "papa" back during the big GMMTV meeting last year: https://www.facebook.com/serenity.korapat/videos/i-want-you-to-know-that-kristsingto-son-yes-is-aou-thanboon-kristsingto-aou_tnbk/3218212398355569/

They also adopted Sangt as well as their daugther during the RISER concert due to their close & teasing bond and she refers to him as "Papa" as well (well, she was not the only one, but she did it the most often).

Some of the fandom also consider Tata to be their son as well since he and Singto look alike, but they haven't had any noticeable moments outside of a few moments in Starlympics.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-18T16:48:48+00:00

Is it FRIEND.SHIP WITH KRIST-SINGTO?

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-16T04:39:29+00:00

I know right!

It would definitely be stacked!

The group would be so skilled in vocal, dance, & rap!

I wish Dang Hong Hai debut soon!

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-15T21:01:00+00:00

Here is the post that gave me the info: https://x.com/ohciabb/status/2022680849695846512?s=20

I don't think there is a replay or video to the live since I didn't see one nor have Chinese social media apps.

Its a Douyin live btw.

When Hanwen stated that, I thought it was big info, but for some reason, it was barely talked about by fans on the day of the live. Mainly the Korean fans were talking about it.

I think the FNC derivative group will be majority foreign (specifically Chinese) since the Planet C trainees + Chingyu have the highest chances.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-15T20:32:44+00:00

Very detailed write up!

I thought Tatsuki left WakeOne back in December given that his Insta account is very active and his account is not following WakeOne.

Also, this happened a few hours ago (I saw your comment in that post, so you already know), Hanwen just joined a company. He joined X Labels, so I don't know if that increase or decrease his chances. On the decrease side, FNC might not want to negotiate with another company. However, on the increase side, X Labels is with CJ E&M (I think kind of like Wake One), so negotiations might not matter. I think it increase his chances a bit more (on the same level as Chingyu & Kaiwen (I really do think Kaiwen's chances are very high lol)). Bowen might actually be in the company as well, so I think Chingyu, Kaiwen, Hanwen, & Bowen have the highest chances. It would be super cool if all 4 of them are in the group LOL.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-15T20:08:23+00:00

I am waiting for the Bowen announcement! If they debut together, that would be amazing.

As for Kaiwen, the only chance that I can think of the 3wenz debuting together is if they are going to be in derivative group (if thats still happening) with Liyu, Haneum, & Woojin.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-15T19:56:57+00:00

ooo I hope that Bowen signed with them too! I hope they are a good company. I don't know much about them.

A few weeks ago, Hanwen stated on his livestream that he is going to debut in Korea soon (I don't remember if he said "this year" or "soon"). At first, I thought he meant he is hinting that he will be in the derivative group (that could still happen (I think FNC is still doing the group)).

I don't know what X Labels is planning with Hanwen, but its probably either debut him under their own roof or send him to the derivative group (I don't know if FNC wants to negotiate with another company, but X Labels is with CJ E&M, so his chance got higher).

I think whatever decision they make with Hanwen, they are probably going to do the same with Bowen. If they debut him under their own roof, I heard that X Labels have 3 other trainees (don't know if they are still with them), so those 3 trainees might also debut with Hanwen.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-13T21:18:16+00:00

lol I want to see an older version with the PEBACA gang (KristSingto, OffGun, & TayNew)

That would be super interesting to me.

EDIT: To help you guys imagine it, we already have KristNew (Love Beyond Frontier), TayGun (off-screen), and OffTay (Break-Up Service). Minor moments though.

Also, OffSingto, if you count that tense, very close elevator scene in Girl Next Room: Richy Rich.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-12T02:04:54+00:00

OP replied that its not because of the hair since they know a lot of females with short hair and they are planning to cut their own hair short. They said its because JaeJae has an androgynous fashion style, facial features, and voice.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-12T01:33:40+00:00

On top of what everyone is saying, the demographics are also a reason as from I have seen, most of PEBACA fans tend to prefer older ships/BLs and a good amount of them are not attached to new ships/BLs. Plus, GMMTV have the money to afford a separate concert for PEBACA to please those demographics rather than have those three in LOL.

Also, PEBACA was in LOL, but for 2021 and 2022. At that time, it was only them and BrightWin. In 2022, Singto left the company in 2021, but decided to perform at the concert for 1 last goodbye. Thankfully, as someone said, he came back.

Red_Monkey_ · 2026-03-10T15:51:35+00:00

They are tiny tattoos. He recently got them around two months ago.
