"Peak Time" Announces Team 23:00's Departure From The Show

Team 23:00 (DGNA) has stepped down from JTBC’s idol survival program “Peak Time.”

Recently, DGNA’s Karam, who is currently competing on “Peak Time” as a member of Team 23:00, was involved in a controversy after his alleged past photos surfaced online. The photos showed a man believed to be Karam hanging out with Japanese AV (adult video) actresses.

The production team initially responded to the controversy by briefly stating that they’re checking into the matter. However, on April 7, the “Peak Time” production team released an official statement announcing that all three members of Team 23:00 (DGNA) — Karam, Jay, and Injun — will be stepping down from the show.

The full statement read, “After careful discussion, it was decided that Team 23:00 will no longer participate in the show starting from the upcoming ranking announcement ceremony. Team 23:00’s official statement regarding this issue will be conveyed through the broadcast.”

“Peak Time” is an idol survival show in which teams compete for the chance to become the next “worldwide idol group.” Unlike other audition programs, its contestants consist entirely of male idols who have already debuted, whether currently active or part of a disbanded group, and they compete “anonymously” under temporary group names that correspond to different hours of the day.

The next episode of “Peak Time” will air on April 12 at 10:30 p.m. KST.
