DAILY:DIRECTION Lee Won-woo Controversy 2026: Pre-debut Allegations Resurface
DAILY:DIRECTION member Lee Won-woo is under fire as past misconduct allegations surface ahead of his 2026 debut. Explore the impact on the former Boys 2 Planet trainee.
Can a group's future be derailed before it even begins? This is the question facing DAILY:DIRECTION as member Lee Won-woo finds himself at the center of a growing storm. On January 22, 2026, serious allegations regarding his past behavior began circulating online, casting a shadow over the group's highly anticipated debut.
Inside the DAILY:DIRECTION Lee Won-woo Controversy
According to reports from Koreaboo and social media insiders, the controversy stems from Lee Won-woo's time as a trainee. He previously appeared on the 2025 survival show Boys 2 Planet, where he competed for a spot in the final group ALPHA DRIVE ONE. While he didn't make the cut then, his subsequent inclusion in DAILY:DIRECTION brought him back into the public eye.
The allegations involve claims of past misconduct during his school years and early training days. While these claims haven't been officially verified, the speed at which the news has spread reflects the high sensitivity of K-pop fans toward idol ethics in 2026. Some fans are calling for his removal, while others urge the public to wait for an official statement from the agency.
The High Cost of the Spotlight
This isn't the first time a Boys 2 Planet alum has faced scrutiny. The rigorous vetting process of the K-pop industry is once again under fire for failing to catch potential issues before they become public PR nightmares. The agency's response in the coming days will be critical for the group's brand image.
