OMEGA X’s Taedong: Fun Facts
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.

We ask for your interest.” With the news of their debut, the Mobile Team started releasing profile images for each member sequentially through official social media since July 2019. In the images, Lee Ki-won, Kim Tae-dong, and Kim Ye-hyun are wearing black jackets and boasting warm visuals and dandy charms. In particular, the three of them show a calm atmosphere by looking down and away from the camera as well as using a natural pose, raising expectations for a complete figure. Lee Ki-won, Kim Tae-dong, and Kim Ye-hyun previously appeared on Mnet’s Produce 101: Season 2 and made their name known.
