On March 23, contestant Nam Yoon Sung’s management agency, I.ONE Entertainment, stated, “Nam Yoon Sung will be leaving ‘Produce 101 Season 2’ due to health concerns that arose at his last health checkup.”

The statement continued, “Furthermore, due to these health concerns, Nam Yoon Sung was unable to participate in the filming of the performance for ‘M!Countdown.’ We told the production staff on March 22 that he would be leaving the show.”

Nam Yoon Sung is the third trainee to leave Mnet’s “Produce 101 Season 2,” as trainee Han Jong Yeon left the show due to his controversial past and trainee Kim Si Hyun left the show due to health concerns.

As “Produce 101 Season 2” will begin airing on April 7, the show is starting with only 98 trainee contestants, rather than the namesake 101 trainees.
