The star attracted attention from the beginning, earning much screentime and fans in return. The trainee attracted attention not only for his pre-debut photos…

…but for his stunning IRL visuals during a surprise visit to his fan-placed ads.
As a result of his popularity, Sung Hanbin remained in the number one spot on the show until the most recent rankings, where he still was in the top three of the final global voting. This high ranking has never been seen before in other survival-based reality programs.

Boys Planet‘s finale is scheduled for April 20 at Jamsil Arena in Seoul, and voting will not end until 10 a.m. the same day. Only eleven of the current eighteen trainees will make the final group and promote with the temporary unit. Because of this, fans have gotten creative in garnering support for their favorite idols, including promoting them at other K-Pop events.

Fans even got a first-generation ulzzang, Han Areumsongee, to promote Lee Junghyun on her Instagram account.
It is the finals for Boys Planet this week. Please vote for young’un Junghyun. As a 32-year-old star create, I cannot bear for such a handsome, young, and tall man to not be on TV.

Fans of Sung Hanbin have found their own way to get him votes — in the form of an unexpected collaboration with soloist IU!
