Former 'Produce 101' contestant and now solo artist, Jeong Dongsu, currently going by the stage name 'Arkay' posted on his Instagram account on November 15 to call out the vote-rigging scandal currently under investigation.
He simply posted a selca and the caption,"I'm digging into this and I'm also a victim." He also posted some hashtags in his comments, "victim 1", "I feel lukewarm", "I don't want to shush", "punish the bad guys", "produce 101".
It seems he is stating that he was not one of the trainee's that allegedly received partial treatment or advantages during the show's airing.
For reference, during the show, he first placed 60th. But, he suddenly began to rise in the ranks. He placed 36th on episode 8, barely being cut off from the top 35 that continued to the next round.

All of y'all saying he wasn't a victim must not have been watching the show very intently. Dongsu was one of the only contestants that were on a steady rise the entire show. His rank only ever went up not down. Then miraculously right before he needs to make it to the next level his rank dropped for the first time since the show started. And what makes it even more ludicrous is the fact that he was trending around that time too. He had bumerous articles being released about him and he was capturing a decent amount of attention. He was more popular than ever and suddenly his position just fell. Trust me, Mnet knew that he was gaining fans and got rid of him while it was easy to cover up.
