He was subsequently listed as a withdrawn contestant after the show’s fourth episode. He addressed the controversy on Instagram in March 2019, claiming that the incident had been used by competing companies to portray him as racist toward China amid the ongoing South Korea–China tensions surrounding the THAAD dispute.
