Shoe-in contestant and number 1 pick Sung Hanbin was a former Cube trainee. Park Hanbin (the guy who carried the K-group “Hot Sauce” performance) was also a former Cube trainee. So was Seok Matthew as well. These three are some of the most talented or intriguing contestants on the show. I know Park Minseok too, but haven’t really looked into him tbh, and he also doesn’t get much screen time 😭. We know Cube can’t manage their groups well. But damn, how do you lose some of your best talent that they all reunite because of Mnet of all places?
That’s not even getting into Hui. Also Kep1er’s (former CLC) Yujin. They’re still at Cube, but the point is Cube really knows how to fumble the bag.
