Kim Samuel

**Kim Samuel** (김사무엘) is currently an independent idol. He was a competitor on *Produce 101 Season 2*. However, he ranked #18 in the finale being eliminated, and unable to debut with Wanna One.

## Career & History

Before *Produce 101* he was a PLEDIS Entertainment trainee and was training to debut with the now popular boy group, Seventeen. It is rumored that he was unable to debut due to his young age at the time.

He eventually left Pledis and signed with Brave Entertainment.

In 2015, he debuted as a member of the duo 1PUNCH. However, just a few eight months later, they disbanded and went their separate ways.

After *Produce 101*, Samuel debuted as a solo artist with his EP, *Sixteen*.

In early 2019, Samuel announced that he was parting ways with Brave Entertainment and would continue his solo activities as an independent artist. A lot of rumors surfaced with this news, mainly stating that Samuel was manipulated in various ways under the company and that he was not paid correctly for his time and performances. Samuel and Brave are currently in a legal case due to the contract termination. Not much official news has been heard from him since his departure from Brave.

Samuel frequently posts on his Tik Tok account. From his posts it appears he is currently in the United States and is potentially filming and practicing for an upcoming release.

On November 17, 2021, Samuel won his lawsuit against Brave Entertainment to terminate his contract.
