Recently, the first teaser for the upcoming drama Love Class 3 was released.
The drama is BL (boy love) and is focused on K-Pop trainees training to debut in the same group and reportedly competing in a survival show. While the premise has excited many interested in watching the series, it has also sparked other discussions about the show.

Idol-actors Daou and Offroad competed on the Thai survival show LAZ iCON, eventually debuting in LAZ1 alongside Geler, Pentor, and Diamond. LAZ1 disbanded on March 11, 2023, but the two transitioned to acting in BL series together.
Many fans have questioned if the pair are actually dating in real life.

Other shipped pairings including members of NCT WISH and ENHYPEN, both groups formed through survival shows, were also brought up.
However, no source of inspiration has been given officially, so these pairings could and could not have served as inspiration as fans have joked.
