'Produce 101' contestant under fire for impersonating G-Dragon in the past

Big Bang, G-Dragon
A 'Produce 101' contestant is under fire for impersonating G-Dragon�in the past.


Jo Kyu Min�first came to attention on 'Star King' a few years ago as someone who looked like G-Dragon. He also went on tours in China as 'Z-Dragon', who drew crowds only because he looked like G-Dragon.


SEE ALSO: K-netizens question: "She was considered a top vocalist on 'Produce 48' but the current perception..." – What happened to LE SSERAFIM's Huh Yunjin?





He also often imitated G-Dragon on Instagram, following his poses and styles.







While imitating G-Dragon is not a crime, fans became furious when a tour for his concert used an actual photo of G-Dragon himself.





Not only so, he'd come out on 'Entertainment Relay' and impersonated G-Dragon for a while before revealing himself. (However, this was planned by the staff of 'Entertainment Relay' and probably not his fault at all).





He tried to explain through an Instagram�message, "I'm not doing anything bad;; I don't go around saying I look like G-Dragon. First, I never pretended to be him in the China concerts. They used false advertisement that was completely different from my request. I was surprised [when I saw his photo]. I never imitated him first, and only did it when people asked me for broadcast or performances. I was just thankful to do it. I know it's love I don't deserve."





What do you think of the situation?
