Actor Yoo Jun Sang explained why he voted for Yoon Ji Sung (28) on 'Produce 101.'
On the April 19 airing of SBS Power FM's 'Choi Hwa Jung's Power Time,' Yoo Jun Sang and Yoon Ji Sung, who've worked together on a musical, joined in as the guests.
Yoo Jun Sang shared that he voted for Yoon Ji Sung on the competition show and explained, "Ji Sung was the oldest on 'Produce 101' so I felt more affection for him. I thought, 'He needs to survive,' and made my entire family vote for him."
He continued, "I felt bad seeing him intimidated. He was so good though."

I appreciate his sentiments, but I still feel like you should vote for someone based on their talents, regardless of age, the company they're from, or even just their visuals. Ji Sung does have quite a bit of talent and charisma of course, so this sort of balances out the process. However, I can also understand why someone would want to vote for him based on age- we know how cruel and unforgiving the K-pop industry can be, and people tend to age out so quickly (even worse for women), so it was actually incredibly empathetic of him to want to give the eldest member a shot, as he understood that in their industry it was probably now or never for the guy.
