On this day, An Hyoseop met with Jeong Jaehyun and exchanged various stories. An Hyoseop, who lived in Canada, returned to Korea after receiving an offer to join an idol group, but ultimately did not debut. He revealed, 'Actually, I love music. I really love it, but if I keep practicing it like a job, I might end up hating it. So I thought I should definitely keep music as a hobby.' He continued, 'Of course, part of the reason I got kicked out was because I was bad (during my trainee days).' When asked how bad he was, he replied, 'I think I would have kicked myself out too. I felt I could manage singing, but dancing was really... dancing was difficult.' Reflecting on his feelings after failing to debut, he said, 'I just kept walking on the road behind Galleria Department Store. Then I thought I had to talk to my parents, so I called them and for the first time, I cried and said, 'Dad, I'm sorry.' They believed in me and sent me off.' He added, 'For about 4 or 5 years after debuting, I hated talking about this. It felt like a stain on my life. Looking back now, it was a very valuable and beneficial experience, but at that time, it was like that.' Previously, An Hyoseop spent three years as a trainee at JYP with members of GOT7 and DAY6 before transitioning to acting and debuting in 2015. - An Hyoseop also confessed that he fainted during filming, saying he thought about quitting acting (video available) - An Hyoseop and Choi Wonbin are set to release a new drama 'Sold Out Today' and have released a close-up gravure showcasing their outstanding style!
