Recently, an eliminated trainee shocked many with a mature glow-up!
Ollie (also known as Liu Tianyue) joined Boys Planet as one of several Yuehua Entertainment trainees. The then 16-year-old trainee sported dark hair and had an adorable charm, with many fans declaring him their “son.”

During his time on the show, Ollie earned the nickname “Ollie Wonka” following his using the line during a challenge performance of Jessi‘s “Zoom.” He was also part of the popular “Supercharger” unit alongside Woonggi, Le’v (then Zihao), NINE.i.‘s Seowon, and TOZ‘s Hart (then Haruto) and Takuto.

Ultimately, Ollie was eliminated in the 11th episode of the show, ranking 26th overall. Many were sad to see him go but were hopeful about his future.
In August 2023, Ollie was confirmed as one of 65 trainees participating in the Hong Kong-based survival program Asia Super Young. His first images from the program show him with similar styling to his on Boys Planet.

Recently, Ollie surprised many with a more mature look and a drastic hair change.
On December 8, the GQ China Men Of The Year 2023 Gala took place, with many popular celebrities attending. Ollie left many surprised with his arrival, as he was now sporting white-blond hair!

The trainee deviated from his usual styling and wore his hair “up” and parted. His all-black mixed-media outfit served as the perfect contrast.
