Netizens explained that Boys Planet is a program where popularity is the key to garnering votes, and Hui’s appearance at major events has given him a head start in terms of recognition.
They also noted his approach as “problematic” as his popularity is now established compared to the other “Boys Planet” trainees.

Netizens also called out Hui for wearing PENTAGON earbuds during her “Love Me Right” performance on “Boys Planet.” Aside from her performance, netizens commented on how unfair it was for Hui to “steal” someone’s spot on the show.
Read their comments below:
“It’s a show where the votes are based on your popularity. He had the opportunity to be recognized more than the others. Don’t you find that problematic?”
“It’s also not like his band was a flop. He has a place to go back to, so I don’t see why he’s even on the show.”
“More importantly, he wore in-ear headphones from a Pentagon fandom on the Boys Planet stages.”
“What does he think ‘Boys Planet’ is about? He’s the legendary cheating singer.”
“Even for the ’02 and ’03 it’s almost too late to start. Imagine a ’93 coming up here and stealing someone’s seat.”
“Seriously, so is he. He doesn’t even think about leaving his existing group while stealing a youngster’s place.”
Why did PENTAGON Hui join “Boys Planet” as a contestant?
On February 9th, PENTAGON explained to Hui why he joined Boys Planet.
After an incredible performance of BLACKPINK’s “Shut Down,” the idol made it clear that he needed a change of scenery and pointed out how quickly K-pop has become since his discharge from the military.
When Hui returned to the industry, he confessed that many things had changed about PENTAGON and their workflow.
The idol said:
“It was the first time we were rejected so badly. The idea that we were not attractive enough to work together made me very sad.”
