My Take
Bae Jin-young is one of those guys who almost slipped through the cracks — he finished tenth in Produce 101 Season 2, which technically made the cut for Wanna One but felt like a cliffhanger. And yet he made it work: he rode that Wanna One wave, then pivoted into CIX when most people thought post-Produce careers were a coin flip. Born in 2000, which means he was barely a teenager when survival show culture swallowed Korean pop whole, and he came out the other side with actual longevity. His run with CIX lasted until 2024, which for a group that started without the same headline push as some of their peers is genuinely respectable. I'm curious where he lands next as a solo — he's got the vocal chops and the acting credits to go either direction.
