Another contestant of Mnet’s “Produce 101” Season 2 is being criticized for his past actions.

Through online communities, netizens have brought up the issue of contestant Jo Kyu Min’s behavior of impersonating BIGBANG’s G-Dragon, and making profit while doing so.

The posts claim Jo Kyu Min held performances for profit in China while impersonating the famous BIGBANG member, going by the name of “Z-Dragon” instead. While promoting these events, G-Dragon’s photo was reportedly used as opposed to his own.

In addition, he also supposedly signed autographs while impersonating G-Dragon, and often imitated the rapper’s social media posts and photos as well.

Regarding his Chinese performances, Jo Kyu Min reportedly previously wrote on a now-unavailable Instagram account, “I’ve never done anything wrong. I don’t go around telling people that I look like G-Dragon. Firstly, I never impersonated G-Dragon during my Chinese performances. The Chinese people falsely advertised contrary to my requests…I was surprised back then as well. I’ve never impersonated G-Dragon on my own, only if people ask for help during broadcasts or performances…I just gratefully agreed to their requests and worked hard during those times…and I also thought we looked alike.”

As mentioned, Jo Kyu Min has appeared on previous television broadcasts such as SBS’s “Star King” and Channel A’s “Doppelgänger Show” as a lookalike of G-Dragon, and not only dressed like the star, but also imitated his voice, gestures, and raps.
