Timeline: Park Jun Hwan Controversy and Withdrawal (2025)
May 5, 2025: Park Jun Hwan is announced as part of the final debut lineup via Debut’s Plan Final Mission. As a “company pick,” his inclusion bypassed fan votes, leading to initial backlash.
Mid-May 2025: Anonymous online rumors begin to circulate accusing Park Jun Hwan of past misogynistic behavior during his school years.
May 28, 2025: An individual who spread the rumors publishes a handwritten apology admitting the claims were false and harmful.
June 2, 2025: Starship releases an official statement confirming the falsehood of the allegations, and announces Park Jun Hwan’s voluntary withdrawal due to severe emotional toll.
Post-withdrawal: Starship vows legal action under defamation and child protection laws, and fans raise concerns about survival show manipulation and mental health neglect in K-pop.
Park Jun Hwan’s departure has become emblematic of a deeper problem in K-pop: the industry’s failure to protect minors and rookies from premature judgment, especially when fame is accelerated through competitive formats like survival shows. His story stands as a cautionary example of how unchecked digital discourse, company indecision, and fandom politics can derail a dream before it even begins.
Rather than erasing him, IDID’s legacy will now include the lesson his departure left behind—a reminder of what it costs when companies act too late, and when the system chooses silence over protection.
