OMEGA X’s Taedong: Pre-Debut on Mnet’s Produce 101: Season 2
Kim Tae-dong participated as a contestant while a trainee under The Vibble (currently Major 9). He was known as one of the contestants from Produce 101: Season 2 with very good proportions. Although he is 177 cm tall, many people are surprised to see him taller than 180 cm with a small head and broad shoulders. Thanks to his proportions, the suit fits very well with his image.At the same time, his shoulders are very wide. On Produce 101: Season 2 Episode 5, he measured his shoulder width, but it didn’t show up on the show. So, a curious fan calculated his shoulder width and found it to be about 59 cm.However, the trainer incorrectly measured the width of the deltoid muscle in a curved shape, not the length between the shoulder blades. The trainer measured Kang Daniel‘s shoulder in a vertical way so the shoulder width actually is not 59 cm.When he appeared on Produce 101: Season 2, he was praised by trainers for his perfect triangular depiction, and he even climbed from Grade F to Grade A. Overall, Kim Tae-dong’s appearances on Boys 24 and Produce 101: Season 2 are very, very small. Despite the salty broadcast, his rankings have risen steadily through fancams as well as his skills and charms, and so he is said to be self-employed.Although the number of Kim Tae-dong’s appearances was small during Boys 24, he succeeded in driving the enthusiasm of fans. After that, he appeared on Produce 101: Season 2 and achieved a high score of 30. Kim Tae-dong, who was initially Grade F, received attention after being readjusted to Grade A by perfectly digesting the choreography of many songs on the show.Since most of the trainees appearing on Produce 101: Season 2 were from small and medium-sized agencies, most of the trainees left their agency. It became a situation where fans could not easily talk about their agency transfers.However, on July 28, 2017, when Produce 101: Season 2 ended and the project group JBJ was being prepared, there was a conflict with the agency The Vibble. Fans who heard this news have long since suffered from the agency’s insufficient care. Because of this, there was a lot of talk among fans.On November 23, 2018, Kim Tae-dong uploaded a handwritten apology to the effect that the relationship was restored through a conversation with his agency, Major 9, through Instagram, and that he would continue to work with the current agency.
