It ended up working out, as J-Hope was eventually accepted by Big Hit Entertainment, and became a member of BTS.

6. Yuju (GFRIEND)

Yuju originally auditioned in K-Pop Star 1 but was hit by a lot of comments by Park Jin Young.

Remember when Yuju rejected by JYP, when Yuju was singing, JYPE told her that her voice is plain and Yuju even dance in her audition but still failed. Yuju rejected by JYPE but it looks like JYPE regrets his words. pic.twitter.com/okm7lxZAgI
