Kim Yong Jin is the former member of Underdog. Born in 1997, he is currently under Wings Entertainment, Soompi reported. Having lack of screen time, Kim Yong Jin was crying when he was caught on camera in behind-the scene footage, Soompi reported.
It was so sad having him got low rank as his parents have tried their best to support him. But as the competition is really fierce, it is also a matter of luck to rank the top 11 in the show. With the upcoming episodes, Kim Yong Jin and his parents hope to have more screen time.
