Openly Gay Trainee To Compete In Upcoming Survival Show
Following the success of Produce 101, similar survival shows have grown in popularity. Similarly, themed spin-offs have been filmed in countries outside Korea, like the Chinese Produce Camp (also known as Chuang).
In 2024, another series spin-off, ChuangAsia Thailand, featured female trainees from different countries competing to debut as members of GEN1ES.
Due to the show’s success, a male version was announced, with applicants being accepted until September 2024. The series is set to begin airing on February 2, but most of the trainees competing on the show have already been announced.
Some may be familiar to viewers from previous experiences, like Dong Dong, who most recently competed on Boys Planet.
Another trainee who may be familiar to some is Insight Entertainment‘s Kohi. Kohi is 22 years old and ChuangAsia 2 being his first survival program.
Kohi is likely better known to some as Jung Hyun, the handsome contestant who won over viewers during his time on His Man. His Man was Korea’s first gay reality dating program, featuring eight singles looking for love, and has continued for three additional seasons.
After the show, Kohi’s popularity in China helped lead him to success.
With His Man, Kohi did not end up with a long term relationship, but hopefully, he can have the results he wants from his upcoming ChuangAsia 2 appearance!
