With so many K-Pop auditions throughout the years, it’s hard to keep up with even just the show’s winners. We all have that one trainee or contestant we rooted for during the show but unfortunately didn’t make it to debut.
Most recently, the whereabouts of a Produce X 101 contestant gained the spotlight.
Tony Yu was a trainee under HONGYI Entertainment and FNC Entertainment who joined the show as a competitor.
During the show, choreographer Choi Young Joon asked the panel to trust him and give Tony an A grade. Although he qualified for the finale, he was eliminated due to ranking in 20th place. Afterwards, he also participated in the Chinese survival show, Youth With You 3.
Fast forward to present day, he is now also a Dior House Friends representative.
