Have you watched ? Former contestants Harry June and HeeChan from DKB made headlines when they joined the show as experienced idols. Harry June instantly caught viewers’ attention with his powerful performance, though he was unfortunately eliminated at rank 26. Still, his self-choreographed stage for ‘Like JENNIE’ proved his reputation as a dancer.
