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.'
