Next-gen K-pop idols look up to BTS: 'BOYS II PLANET' contestants pick Jungkook, V, RM, J-Hope and Jimin as role models
Mnet's upcoming survival show BOYS II PLANET has unveiled its full lineup of 154 contestants. As the sequel to the hit show BOYS PLANET, which formed ZEROBASEONE, the new season aims to debut a global K-pop boy group with fans participating in the production process. The trainees are divided into two units: 80 in the Korean (K) group and 74 in the international (C) group, following six withdrawals. To build anticipation, Mnet released performance clips of both groups dancing to HOLA SOLAR — a vibrant track that reflects the passion and dreams of the contestants. The song sets the tone for the show's concept and storyline, offering fans an exciting preview of what's to come. BTS named top role models by trainees Currently trending on social media is a form the trainees filled out to share more about themselves. One standout question on the questionnaire asked: Who is your role model? Unsurprisingly, BTS topped the list. Jungkook led with 17 trainees naming him as their biggest inspiration, followed closely by V aka Kim Taehyung. Jimin, RM, and J-Hope also received multiple mentions, highlighting BTS' strong influence on the next generation of idols.

(Video) Fans Amused By ZEROBASEONE Matthew's Cat Making Surprise Debut During Livestream
Most celebrities prefer to keep their personal lives as private as possible, particularly if they are K-pop idols. After frightening experiences with sasaengs, it is hardly surprising that these artists choose to remain silent on deeply personal matters. That said, many are happy to share moments of bonding with their pets. Speaking of pets, fans discovered something new about ZEROBASEONE (제로베이스원) member Matthew (석매튜). During a recent livestream, the idol could no longer keep his furry friend a secret after it 'attacked' him from behind. Here's what happened: Earlier this week, Matthew hosted a livestream to show off his Pokémon card collection. However, throughout the broadcast, fans noticed odd sounds in the background, such as meowing and movement behind the singer. The 23-year-old appeared to brush it off and made efforts to keep the mysterious guest out of sight. Unfortunately for him, the cat was out of the bag (quite literally). Just as he was about to showcase a Pokémon card, two paws appeared around the idol's neck, and the look of defeat on his face made it clear he could no longer keep it a secret. He made a few final attempts to hide his furry friend before finally giving in and introducing his cat to fans with a few hugs and kisses. The moment quickly went viral on social media, with many surprised to learn that the K-pop artist has a cat, something he had never shared publicly. Not long after the livestream ended, Matthew took to Weverse to officially introduce fans to his Siamese cat, Gia, short for Lugia, after the legendary Pokémon also known as the Guardian of the Seas. He revealed that he had only recently adopted him. Fans reacted to the viral moment, with many describing the livestream as chaotic as they watched the idol try to hide his pet. Others commented on how adorable the singer and his cat looked together on camera. Some were entertained by how Gia appeared to 'attack' his human companion from behind to reveal himself to the audience. Judging by his attempts, it was clear that Matthew was not ready to share Gia with the rest of the world, but his cat had other plans, so it seems. Regardless, fans will no doubt be looking forward to more Gia content in the future. Watch the viral moment below: Sources: TikTok, Twitter (1)(2) What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0
