Recently, Chris posted a video titled “Nugu K-Pop Idol Truth EXPOSED” following his elimination from Boys II Planet.

During the video, Chris introduced himself, explaining that he had been eliminated from Boys II Planet and how he felt because, like many other debuted idols on the show, he wanted to promote his group.

Chris explained how BLITZERS hadn’t been active for a while, even sharing the numerous reality and survival shows they had joined to help.

Explaining that they come from a small company, Chris revealed that they don’t have enough money for a comeback.

He added that the members are working part-time jobs in the cafe, which is basically their company.

Although all the members have been trying to promote the group, Chris explained that it was just the reality.

Many fans have wondered why idols turn to other platforms for videos and streams, and Chris explained that he did it to promote the group and continue his career as an idol.

Chris then promoted the group and cafe before telling fans he’d see them soon.

Netizens were heartbroken by the confession, not only sharing support for Chris and BLITZERS, but acknowledging how common this is within K-pop with an over-saturation of groups, meaning many have to disband or do other things to continue going.
