Kim Minkyu is receiving offers working as a model for about 5~6 CFs with products such as cosmetic brand mainly aiming at young people.
Kim Minkyu - "a Produce trainee" who had to left unfortunately prior to the debut - is receiving a lot of hearty invitations from the advertising industry. After being eliminated with the close result at the finale of the "ProduceX101" reality show on July 19, Kim Minkyu temporarily left the stage and returned as a student. He was a trainee who received a great deal of support from the fandom as much as 11 members of the final lineup, so the unfortunate result this time was even more shocking to the public.
It is impossible for the advertising industry to ignore the number of passionate fans and the level of "well-known" to the public that Kim Minkyu has achieved in a short period of time.
Regarding this, a representative in the advertising industry shared on July 25, "As I know, the offers to discuss working as a model for about 5~6 CFs with products such as cosmetic brand mainly aiming at young people, casual fashion, drinks, confectionery, fast food, household electrical appliances, etc. have been recently transferred to Kim Minkyu through the management company. Maybe the public will be able to meet Kim Minkyu through CFs first before he officially makes a debut as an actor or singer."
Moreover, the representative explained the advertisement circle's special interest in Kim Minkyu, "His outstanding appearance is one of the reasons but the elegant image that Kim Minkyu displayed in 'ProduceX101' is the most attractive feature."
Kim Minkyu - the trainee who was continuously holding high rankings during the program "ProduceX101" - caused surprise because he couldn't write his name on the final list. Concerning the 9 trainees including Kim Minkyu, Lee Jinhyuk, Keum Donghyun, Koo Jungmo, Song Yuvin, Lee Sejin, Tony, Ham Wonjin, Hwang Yunseong, etc. - those who were selected to enter top 20 reserve candidates but had to experience the sadness of being eliminated, the fandom supporting them is actively helping to launch another group called BY9.
Fans have raised funds to debut the BY9 boy group project.
Since the 'Produce X101' program aired the final episode on July 19, fans later made a petition to debut the boy group BY9 with members from the finalists eliminated.
The 9 members of BY9 that the fans wanted to debut were Lee Jin Hyuk, Kim Min Kyu, Koo Jung Mo, Hwang Yun Seong, Keum Dong Hyun, Tony, Song Yu Vin, Ham Won Jin, and Lee Se Jin.
Not only making a petition, fans have now raised funds of up to 100 million Won (1.2 billion Rupiah). According to fans, the funds will be used to promote BY9, including installing banners at subway stations.
Fans have also made the logo to the lightstick for BY9. Hopefully there are agencies that want to debut BY9, just like the JBJ and RAINZ boy group projects from 'Produce 101' season 2.
Previously the agency and the 9 trainees were also reported to have known about the desire of fans to debut BY9. CJ E & M as the producer of the 'Produce X101' program is also currently monitoring the trend and will consider it if there are agencies that want to debut them.
