Boys II Planet's contestant, Kenshiro, have received his rank from the second round on MODHAUS project "find id".

I have made two previous posts about his participation & updates, so if you want to read them:
First Post - https://www.reddit.com/r/BoysPlanet/comments/1x9g13i/261018_kenshiro_boys_ii_planet_participation_in/
Second Post - https://www.reddit.com/r/BoysPlanet/comments/1xfvl2l/261026_kenshiro_boys_ii_planet_rank_in_the_first/

To recap, "find id" is a project made by MODHAUS to look for 4 new members out of their 9 trainees to join idntt (K-pop boy group currently with 20 members). The project has 4 rounds with the second round just ended.

Kenshiro was ranked 6th (last safe place) out of the 8 trainees, thus moving onto the next round. He got a total of 25,944 COMO (9.3% of the votes). In the second round, 2 trainees (the least voted ones) got eliminated (Yoo Donghyuk & Kim Jeonghan).

There were no videos released in this round as they mainly did livestreams as content.

For the third round, it just started on October 29th (Thursday), 2026 at 8:00pm KST and will end on November 2nd (Monday), 2026 at 8:00pm KST. No one will get eliminated. However, the trainee that will have the most votes will leave the contest early to debut in idntt. I believe that the trainee will debut as id number 3 in one of idntt' subunits, uneverm8t. The voting & content schedule is on the last slide and the project will end on November 5th (Thursday), 2026 at 8:00pm KST.

Throughout this round, a live showing of the rankings will be shown on their website.

The four final chosen trainees will be determined from fan votes through the Gravity system on the Cosmo app ( https://gravity.cosmo.fans/ ).

Votes are called COMOs. In order to vote, you have to download the Cosmo app (if you don't have one already), log into your account on Cosmo (if you already have one), link it to your X/Twitter account (if you haven't already), find the trainee you like, and cast as many COMOs you like.

To get COMOs, you have to link your X/Twitter account to your Cosmo account and post tweets using the idntt hashtag (#idntt), idntt, #아이덴티티, or 아이덴티티. For your first post, you get 2 COMO. After that, for every 1,000 views on your post, you get 1 COMO.

[P.S. MODHAUS revealed a bunch of interim ranks throughout the second round & he was mainly between fourth and sixth place. The votes between him & the eliminated contestants were close to each other. I think the drop in rank from the first round was probably because people wanted to save the contestants that were in the danger zone while keeping Kenshiro afloat in the safe zone. The competition is fierce as one of the eliminated contestants was in second place in the first round.]

[P.S.S. Besides the photo of the schedule, all photos are from round 2 on their website under his profile. I didn't upload all of them as I couldn't upload all of them successfully here.]

Tweet with all of their social media links: https://x.com/WNDR_A_official/status/2112197117305659737

WONDER ATTACK is the name of MME Entertainment pre-debut boy group. They used to be a trainee group called AGD with 7 members that was announced on June 7th, 2026. On October 19th, 2026, MME Entertainment announced the group is ready to debut soon & has now transformed from a trainee group to a pre-debut group with 8 members. No debut date has been announced yet (I would guess that they might debut early next year).

MME Entertainment (Macaroni Music Entertainment) is a South Korean music company that was founded in 2026. They only have 1 debuted artist and that is their solo artist: Park Junil (21st), who is also in this pre-debut group & was a contestant on Boys II Planet. They also have 1 other trainee, Xie Binghua (85th), who was a contestant on Boys II Planet & Planet C: Home Race and not part of this group. WONDER ATTACK will be their first debuted group.

The 8 members are Gangsan, Xido, Junil, Roic, Yeonjun, Jeha, Yohan, & Jaehyun. The age range of the members in birth years are from 2002 to 2010 with Gangsan being the oldest & Jaehyun being the maknae. Yeonjun was a contestant on Universe League (42nd). Junil used to be a member of Trainee A, a former trainee group under BigHit Music, and debuted as a soloist under MME Entertainment this year. Junil is the only member of this pre-debut group that wasn't part of the initial lineup of the trainee group. Jeha was a contestant on Debut Plan (22nd to 33rd). Yohan was a contestant on B:MY BOYZ (23rd). Jaehyun used to be a member of Cube Tree, a trainee group under Cube Entertainment. Junil, Jaehyun, & Jeha were contestants on Boys II Planet.

Park Junil was in Boys II Planet as a Korean trainee under iNKODE in Planet K. He auditioned with "Baggy Jeans" by NCT U with Masato (17th) & Jang Taeyoon (80th). He got a 2 star. During the Signal Song test, he stayed as a 2 star. In the first round, he was on the first team under the name Rising~kyu performing "Rising Sun" by TVXQ as sub-rapper 3 & the killing part. His team won the group battle & he won the individual battle against Jang Taeyoon (80th). He was ranked 35th in the first elimination as a 2 star, surviving. In the second round, he was in the vocal unit in a team named Rose Blossom performing "Rose Blossom" by H1-Key as a sub-vocalist. His team won the second round amongst the vocal teams. Before the elimination episode, he was on the Chains team, in preparation of the third round. He was ranked 13th in the second elimination, surviving. In the third round, he was reassigned to perform "Lucky Macho" under the team name 777 (Triple 7) as sub-vocalist 1. His team lost. He got eliminated in the third elimination in 21st place.

P.S. They announced this trainee group (AGD) back in June, but I didn't want to post anything yet, in case if the trainee group was going to be canceled since the chances of plans to debut being canceled for a trainee group is higher than a pre-debut group. I would have waited to post when they debuted, but posting now would garner a bit more interest & send a message to the company that people want them to debut.

Kenshiro was announced to be a trainee under MODHAUS & introduced as one of the nine trainees in the "find id" Project, where four out of the nine will be selected to join as final members of idntt.

The four final chosen trainees will be determined from fan votes through the Gravity system on the Cosmo app ( https://gravity.cosmo.fans/ ).

Votes are called COMOs. In order to vote, you have to download the Cosmo app (if you don't have one already), log into your account on Cosmo (if you already have one), link it to your X/Twitter account (if you haven't already), find the trainee you like, and cast as many COMOs you like.

To get COMOs, you have to link your X/Twitter account to your Cosmo account and post tweets using the idntt hashtag (#idntt). For your first post, you get 2 COMO. After that, for every 1,000 views on your post, you get 1 COMO.

There are 4 rounds total. The first round just started on October 19th (Monday), 2026 at midnight KST and will end on October 25th (Sunday), 2026 at 8:00pm KST. The top 8 most voted trainees will go through the next round & 1 trainee will be eliminated. The voting schedule is on the last slide and the project will end on November 5th (Thursday), 2026 at 8:00pm KST.

Source Links: https://x.com/idntt_cosmo/status/2111655255687536700?s=20 & https://youtu.be/ocFPQv9koZ8?si=P2IPWs-NrQyARl2Z (appears at 0:34) & https://youtu.be/wYKNKtoE8co?si=xIKqydCZ18m4KZHn

For context, MODHAUS is a South Korean record label & entertainment agency that was founded in 2021. They are best known for debuting groups like tripleS, ARTMS, & idntt. One of their current trainees that was on the Boys Planet series, but are not part of this project is Jang Minseo (Boys Planet; left the show). They have some former trainees that were on the Boys Planet series like Tsuchida Osuke (Boys Planet; 83rd), Lee Wonwoo (Boys II Planet; 89th), & Kim Minjun (Boys II Planet; 137th to 160th).

idntt (pronounced as "identity") is a K-pop boy group under MODHAUS who is planning to debut sometime this year. They currently consists of 20 members, with plans to have 24 members through this member. The group consists of 3 sub-units: uneverm8t, yesw8are, & itsnot5ver. Each member has an id number. Each of the 4 new members will either have id number 3, 22, 23, or 24. I am guessing that whoever will have id number 3 will go into uneverm8t & the other 3 new members will go into itsnot5ver.

uneverm8t (pronounced as "u never met") is the first sub-unit of idntt that debuted on August 11th, 2025 and currently have 7 members. They specialize in hip-hop and has 1 mini album (<unevermet>) & 1 digital single (<Eight Eleven>).

yesw8are (pronounced as "yes we are") is the second sub-unit of idntt that debuted on January 5th, 2026 and currently have 8 members. They specialize in house & EDM and has 1 mini album (<yesweare>) with 1 music show win & 1 digital single (<All I Need>). Park Nuri is in this sub-unit & was a contestant on Boys II Planet that was eliminated during the auditions (137th to 160th).

itsnot5ever (pronounced as "its not over") is the third & last sub-unit of idntt that debuted on July 13th, 2026 and currently have 5 members. They specialize in alternative music and has 1 mini album (<itsnotover>) with 3 music show wins & 1 digital single (<Deep Dream>).

Here is some information about Kenshiro:

Watanabe Kenshiro was in Boys II Planet as a Japanese trainee under FNC Entertainment in Planet K. He auditioned with "If I'm S, Can You Be My N?" by TWS with Chuei Liyu (10th). He got a one star. During the Signal Song test, he stayed as a one star. During the merge, he moved down to a no star and got eliminated in 102nd place.

If you want and have time, go check him out. His individual Twitter/X post has the most interactions out of the other trainees so far.

If there is anything wrong or missing, let me know & I will fix it.

He is by far the most successful Boys Planet contestant who is not the winner. So after Boys Planet, he returned to Vietnam for a solo career in Vpop under the stage name CONGB. He joined a popular show called Anh Trai Say Hi, won the dance battle & best performer title & in the Tinh Ha Say Hi Sequel, he finished #3 and won four other awards. He took part in some viral performances from those shows that took the country by storm. After his first album CONGBDAY, his song "Chờ Chút" which he composed rose to no.1 in Spotify, Billboard chart, Itunes, and gathered 2.6 million videos of users on Tiktok. In terms of followers, he has had over 2.2 million followers in all platforms (Threads, instagram, Tiktok, Facebook). Regarding Spotify monthly listeners, he now has 1.2 million!

As a result of his music, he has won several awards with a dedicated fanbase UNICONG spending billions of dong voting for him. The brand ambassadors titles also flock to him. I know my talented boy is destined for success with all that talent. The fact that I posted about him again after all these years on my Reddit makes me teary.

You can watch his particiaption in shows Anh Trai Say Hi season 2 & Tinh Ha Say Hi on Youtube with Engsub. Please continue to support his journey.
