Former ‘Boys Planet’ Contestant Ollie Addresses Shocking Arm Injury

Ollie, a former contestant on “Boys Planet” and a trainee under Yuehua Entertainment, recently shed light on the mistreatment he endured during his time on the show, sparking outrage among fans. Ollie’s revelation came during a Weibo live stream where he addressed questions from fans, and one inquiry focused on the cast he wore on his left hand during “Boys Planet”.

According to Ollie, the injury occurred during the show’s field day when he landed incorrectly while participating in one of the games. Despite experiencing considerable pain, Ollie informed the production staff about his condition. Shockingly, the staff advised him to wait until filming concluded before seeking medical attention. Unable to endure the pain, Ollie eventually took matters into his own hands and sought help from an ambulance.

“Right, I have never told you why I was in a cast,” he said. “It was during a sports meet, there was a game where you had to pull people onto a mat. I was being pulled. It was Jiwoong-hyung, right? He was pulling my leg, and I was falling backwards, so when he exerted his strength…I was lying down like this, and my leg got pulled up like this…and landed on my fingers.”

“I was in so much pain, so I told them, ‘I’m in a lot of pain, I want to go to the hospital,'” Ollie continued. “They were like, ‘It’s okay, it’s okay, take a break first and wait until the end of filming.’ I told them I have a bone fracture. They said ‘It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay.’ I was in so much pain. My hand felt like they were throbbing, like it was popping dancing. In the end, I said I couldn’t take it anymore and went to the ambulance myself.”

The revelation has stirred strong reactions from fans, particularly given Ollie’s age at the time of the incident – a mere 16 years old. The mistreatment of a minor on a popular survival show has ignited anger and disappointment among viewers, with many directing their frustration towards Mnet, the network responsible for “Boys Planet”.

Ollie’s willingness to share his experience sheds light on the harsh realities faced by contestants behind the scenes of such reality shows. The incident raises concerns about the prioritization of contestants’ well-being and the responsibility of production staff to ensure their safety, especially when dealing with young participants. The controversy surrounding Ollie’s mistreatment on “Boys Planet” highlights the need for greater transparency and ethical practices within the entertainment industry, urging networks and production teams to prioritize the welfare of their participants.
