Controversies & Challenges

Fans have pointed out multiple moments suggesting that Juhoon (CORTIS) may be treated differently from other members. In one casual scene, when Juhoon asked to share a couple ice cream with Keonho, he was immediately rejected. Just moments later, Keonho offered to share a couple cup with Seonghyeon instead, and the two ate together in front of Juhoon, creating an awkward situation.

Additional clips fueled speculation that Juhoon was being sidelined. James, Keonho, and Martin were seen laughing when Seonghyeon ignored Juhoon, with Martin even teasing him about being brushed off. When Juhoon tried to redo a high-five, Martin refused, further intensifying the awkwardness. Fans also noted instances where Seonghyeon walked away mid-filming during Juhoon’s interview, while he and Keonho exchanged glances and laughed, making viewers uncomfortable.

Another controversial moment involved a challenge where Juhoon became the “butt of the joke.” When Martin was assigned to hug Juhoon, he openly resisted, while the others laughed and filmed, with James joking that he was “lucky” not to receive that task. Fans also observed that Juhoon was often left behind during group activities, reinforcing concerns that he was being isolated rather than playfully teased like the other members.
