Yoo Jun-won, ‘Boy Fantasy’ opening stage decoration

While the 54 boys of 'Boys' Fantasy' were unveiled, Yoo Jun-won, who made his face known at the audition hosted by Hive's local label 'Hive Labels Japan', graced the first stage.

MBC's new audition program 'Boys' Fantasy - After School Excitement Season 2' (hereinafter referred to as 'Boys' Fantasy'), which first aired at 10 PM on the 30th, revealed the appearances of 54 boys.

On this day's broadcast, the 54 boys who participated in 'Boys' Fantasy' were first revealed. While boys of various nationalities, including Korea, China, Thailand, and Japan, entered the studio one by one introducing themselves, Yoo Jun-won caught the attention of the other boys from the moment he appeared. The boys also warmly welcomed his charm, which straddles the line between cold and warm looks.

Soon after, the first semester entrance examination took place, and Yoo Jun-won was the first to perform on stage. Yoo Jun-won, who stood in front of the producer while receiving support from the boys, confidently introduced himself as “Yoo Jun-won, who is usually very shy, but changes 180 degrees when music comes on. He was born for the stage.”

Then, to the producers who asked about his idol experience, he said, “I was a Hive trainee. “I appeared on a Japanese audition program and there are people who support me,” he said, adding that he was moved to take on the challenge for them.

Yoo Jun-won showed off his skills with G-Soul's 'Hate Everything'. Yoo Jun-won, who selected a difficult song that required emotion as well as singing ability, captivated producers with his pure yet attractive voice. In addition, they showed off their beauty with a powerful yet light dance move to 'You and I Found in the Sky at 5:53'. Yoo Jun-won, who proved that he can handle a variety of genres, landed in first place.

Meanwhile, ‘Boys’ Fantasy’ airs every Thursday at 10 PM on MBC.
