The release of the YouTube content 'Trip KODE' featuring former CIX's Be Jinyoung and (G)I-DLE's Miyeon has been postponed. On the 16th, the production team of 'Trip KODE' announced through the official YouTube channel, 'The main episode of 'Trip KODE', which was scheduled to be released today (16th), has been decided to be postponed after deep discussions.' They added, 'We sincerely apologize to everyone who has been waiting for the content.' 'Trip KODE' is a new program where the two participants travel together and perform missions to raise each other's heart rates, with the one who raises the other's heart rate more being the winner. The teaser video showed Miyeon and Be Jinyoung on a date, creating a sweet atmosphere. However, following this, negative reactions flooded in from net users, reminiscent of the virtual marriage variety show 'We Got Married.' In response, Miyeon clarified through a fan communication platform, 'Nothing to worry about will happen, so don't worry. Everyone seems to be very surprised, so I thought I would explain quickly.' Be Jinyoung also explained in a recent interview for his new album release, 'The teaser video was released with a feeling like 'heart-throbbing', but it was not at all. It felt like a game to raise heart rates, so I was confused by the reactions that it resembled 'We Got Married.'
