The ongoing South Korean addition reality competition show created by Mnet is all the rage right now, and Boys Planet episode 10 reactions are overflowing on Twitter. With the first episode of the TV program premiering on February 2, 2023, the show eventually shaved down the number of contestants from thousand applicants to 98 being finalised, all male this time.
Since then, the contestants have had numerous challenges, with some eliminations also hardening their core. A new round of eliminations tomorrow will bring down the number of contestants again (currently standing at 28), but before that happens, fans of the show are doing everything they can to root for their favourites and vote for them online. Ultimately, only 18 will be able to contest in the final round, out of which, only 9 will remain and debut as part of the new and first 5th generation K-pop boy group.
Today’s tenth episode brought about performances from teams – Over Me, Switch and Say My Name, all completing the third mission titled ‘Artist Battle’.

In addition to their respective fans, and the fans of Team Over Me rejoicing at their wins, viewers of the show also spoke up against the biased approach showcased by the TV network Mnet, which didn’t work out each member’s screen time equally. Mnet has previously produced several other survival shows like this, and each time the network has received some kind of backlash from the audience over their unfair treatment of the participants in the series.
They’ve taken note how, during the performances, the camera would often zoom out and not focus at certain members despite them helming the performance at that moment. Scroll down to find how the fans of the show reacted to the latest episode.
