On the 29th, ‘Produce 101’ Season 2 representatives revealed to Star News that “We have confirmed Im Youngmin’s misconduct and will be giving a penalty.”

There was a controversy where Im Youngmin’s older brother told fans what song Im Youngmin wanted to do. A representative explained, “We confirmed with the trainee through the company that he never talked about the song he wanted with his family members. However, since it was confirmed that his family talked with fans, he will receive a penalty in order to keep it fair. We are currently discussing the penalty method.”

There was also a controversy over a post that stated Im Youngmin shared the spoilers of the program to someone he knows. However, a representative stated, “We asked him about it (spoiling rankings), but he stated that he has never told his rankings to anyone he knew. The company also stated that it is not written by someone he knows.” They also added, “So there will be no additional penalties regarding this.”
