As soon as the first episode of the program aired on May 3, 2019, an anonymous writer posted online what he\/she knows about Yoon Seobin\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This anonymous writer claimed he\/she knew Yoon Seobin since as early as his elementary and middle school days. The writer shared yearbook pictures of a \u201cYoon Byung Hwi\u201d and claimed that it was Yoon Seobin\u2019s real name prior to changing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as this post went viral on social media platforms, other alleged pictures of Yoon Seobin\u2019s past began to surface. These pictures captured a male student in school uniform engaging in underage smoking and drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The post, now deleted, pointed out that Yoon Seobin was a \u201c\uc77c\uc9c4 (il-jin, delinquent \/ bully)\u201d, and voiced a tremendous amount of concern. The post claimed, \u201cI\u2019m writing this because\u2026 I wouldn\u2019t want someone like him to succeed, become self-absorbed, then turn into someone like Seungri.\u201d<\/p><div class=\"pjyms69f1a57c95515\" ><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5766970621731004\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6327259452\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 1201px) {\r\n.pjyms69f1a57c95515 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px) {\r\n.pjyms69f1a57c95515 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 992px) {\r\n.pjyms69f1a57c95515 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 768px) {\r\n.pjyms69f1a57c95515 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {\r\n.pjyms69f1a57c95515 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n\n\n\n\n<p>Translations: \u201cI feel like you will only believe me with pictures, so here are his elementary and middle school yearbook photos. He changed his name to Yoon Seobin, but his name used to be Yoon Byung Hwi. I\u2019m sharing this because Yoon Byung Hwi was an infamous \u2018iljin\u2019 in the City of Gwangju. Everyone who is my age probably knows about him. He was a known bully since his middle school days. It was a part of his daily life to pick on other students. A lot of students I know were bullied by him. I\u2019ve seen it happen all the time. He deleted his Facebook account and ghosted everyone for years\u2026 before showing up on TV like this. I wouldn\u2019t want someone like him to succeed, become self-absorbed, then turn into someone like Seungri. So that\u2019s why I\u2019m writing this. If this isn\u2019t true, I\u2019m ready to be sued. Sorry if I make no sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the rumor, the PRODUCE X 101 fan page shared a statement formally requesting Yoon Seobin\u2019s withdrawal from the program. The statement explains, \u201cYoon Seobin would not be fit to be a part of the program that is \u2018of the national producers, by the national producers, for the national producers\u2019 to discover potential global K-Pop stars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Translations: \u201c[Official Request to Remove] The \u2018PRODUCE X 101 Gallery\u2019, a community for Mnet\u2019s audition program PRODUCE X 101, is releasing this official request to remove trainee Yoon Seobin from the show, after hearing the disappointing news of his history of being a bully. On May 5, Yoon Seobin\u2019s yearbook pictures went viral on online communities. An anonymous writer shared allegations of Yoon Seobin having been a delinquent in his neighborhood and bullied his fellow classmates. Other pictures of him cursing on Facebook and smoking in his school uniform were shared. This shows that Yoon Seobin would not be fit to be a part of the program that is \u2018of the national producers, by the national producers, for the national producers\u2019 to discover potential global K-Pop stars. It could have been a simple \u201cstupid mistake\u201d by a teenager growing up. But if there are victims of his actions, they are forever traumatized because of him. Therefore, we of PRODUCE X 101 Gallery request of PRODUCE X 101\u2019s creators to immediately remove Yoon Seobin from the program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JYP are currently checking the authenticity of the rumors about Yoon Seobin&#8217;s past.
