Jung Jun-hyuk in YG’s Treasure Box
There were several moments where Jung Jun-hyuk gained attention during the show. The first one was during Episode 2. After the groups’ performances in the monthly assessment, it was time for the individual ones. The assessment was based on skills. The best rapper from each team would battle against each other. Jung Jun-hyuk stood up as a Treasure C representative. Jun-hyuk went after Choi Hyun-suk (Treasure A) who received negative comments. The main producer asked him about his rap lyrics. Jun-hyuk said that the lyrics are about how he is the best. The main producer suddenly asked Hyun-suk to come forward and stand facing Jun-hyuk. The main producer told Jun-hyuk that when he raps, he should tell Hyun-suk that he’s the best. The other trainees were puzzled by the unexpected situation.
