13-Year-Old “PROJECT7” Survival Show Contestant Sparks Major Debate With His Behavior
One of the ongoing survival shows is JTBC‘s PROJECT7.
One contestant sparking a huge debate is 13-year-old Sviat from Ukraine.
The young contestant has gained a lot of attention since his first audition when he covered “Replay” by SHINee.
Recently, videos from the latest episode have sparked a huge debate.
Sviat’s young age had seemingly caused issues during training, which raised frustration among the other contestants when he wasn’t paying attention or disrupted the rehearsals. Many shared anger that while it might be a “joke” to Sviat or some fun, for many, the show is a way to achieve their dream.

anyway Sviat's age shouldn't be a reason y'all excuse him being annoying and unserious af. all the love to sviat but he WAS being annoying last ep. if he can't be serious abt practice then a survival show, even less a boy group, is the place for him. simple and plain.

Yet, some defended the young contestant about how it must be hard being away from home and that while his behavior seems immature, he is only 13, and it wouldn’t seem out of place for anyone else his age.
that is a 13 year old boy in a country very far away from his home trying his best to make friends… https://t.co/6dj2NPJ65R

“sviat is acting immature” as someone who is studying education, that’s how 13 yo boys act, they’re pretty playful. yall should stop generating a hate train to a boy just wanting to accomplish his dream and if u don’t want him to debut, then stop promoting with your dumbass posts pic.twitter.com/jYkXR8JcQt
