On May 28, it was reported by Korean media, Ilgan Sports, that ex-JYP trainee, Yoon SeoBin is currently looking for a new agency.
For those who have been watching Mnet “Produce X 101”, you would recall that Yoon SeoBin sat on the 1st place seat during the very first episode. However, soon enough, rumors of him being a bully in school were spread, causing him to leave the audition survival program.

It looks like Yoon SeoBin is not giving up his dream in becoming an idol despite his controversy and it was reported that he is currently looking for a new agency. Not only is he looking into agencies that manage singers, he has also opened his options to agencies that handle actors too.

*sigh* I feel bad that this kid is still getting dragged for something that's proven not to be true because people only want to read news when it's negative so that they can attack others instead of reading positive news. I hope he is able to find a new agency because he was so talented. I feel bad that he had his dreams destroyed over false accusations.
