A contestant from the popular survival show Boys II Planet (also known as Boys Planet 2) is under fire after several online posts allegedly from him resurfaced showing hate towards major K-Pop artists, including BTS’s Jungkook, aespa, and TWICE.
The posts, allegedly made by contestant Peng Jinyu, have gone viral on both Korean and Chinese platforms and sparked intense backlash from fans and netizens alike.
The controversy centers around a series of past posts and polls shared via Weibo. In some of these posts, Jinyu allegedly openly mocked Jungkook with derogatory terms and personal attacks.
Jeon Jungkook is dating again. What kind of ‘top’ is he? Top at cheating on his girlfriend? Top at scoring 7 in English and 4 in Math? Top at manipulating YouTube comments and likes? Top at reckless driving? Top at being lovey-dovey with Mijoo and getting matching tattoos? Top at charging headfirst like a wild boar without using his brain? Top at being violent? I heard people say Jungkook is like a wild boar.
And DY? DY is a poor ghost who refuses to accept a loss even in games, but still buys gifts. I heard Jungkook is stingy and broke.

Jinyu also created and participated in various Weibo polls directly targeting aespa and TWICE. One poll listed aespa members by name and included offensive options:
I participated in a poll named “aespa Karina, Ningning, Winter, Giselle” created by @霸天彭. I chose the option, “aespa fans were in the wrong for provoking first”. Come express your opinion~
