Love Class 3 drama teaser dropped and fans are buzzing — but not just because of the show itself. The new BL series about K-Pop trainees fighting to debut in the same group got people talking about possible real-life inspirations.

The drama’s survival-show setting has fans pointing fingers. Some think it’s based on actual idol stories.

First up, ZEROBASEONE’s Sung Hanbin and AN2BLE’s Zhang Hao — aka “Haobin.” The two came in first and second on Boys Planet and showed a tight bond fans loved. That duo has been shipped hard ever since.

“so they’re literally turning the haobin movie into a drama?? oh haobin you are just too iconic”

Another rumored real-life parallel is Thai duo Daou and Offroad. They met on survival show LAZ iCON, debuted in LAZ1, disbanded, and now star together in BL dramas. Fans think their story runs close to the new show’s plot.

“REAL STORY
2021, Daou and Offroad met in a survival show, Daou helped Offroad from recording to dance practice, won 1st and 2nd place, debuted in a boyband, stayed together after disbandment, signed to a same company and now became life partners

Other fans have jokingly linked members of NCT WISH and ENHYPEN as possible inspirations, citing their survival show backgrounds.

No official statement has confirmed any real-life basis for Love Class 3. But the similarities fans see are making waves online.
