Ju-yeon of THE BOYZ made a big success in heljil (catching seafood by hand in shallow sea at night). Kim Nam-il, Hong Seong-hoon, Yoo Hee-gwan, Jo Won, and Ju-yeon appeared on MBC variety show "I Wish I Could Rest Slowly" broadcast in Korea on the 1st. The day before, Ju-yeon struggled in the sea where strong winds and intense waves hit, saying, "The weather is good today, and the waves don't seem too strong. So I think 'today is my day.' I have confidence to collect at least 3 abalones per person." After expressing his determination, he entered the water. With good visibility, he was excited with expectations, but he couldn't collect any. In the end, he complained that he couldn't see any abalones, and Lee De-ho and Kim De-ho, who were watching him in the studio, advised, "Abalones are hard to see for amateurs" and "Once you collect them, you will start to see them." Eventually, when Ju-yeon came out of the sea, he saw the abalones taken by Yoo Hee-gwan and Hong Seong-hoon and said, "Ah, they look like stones. I finally understand." Because he didn't know what abalones looked like, he couldn't collect them. Natural abalones look completely different from farmed ones. He explained, "I couldn't collect them because I didn't know what they looked like even when I went down. I had only seen them at the market, so searching for them in the sea requires a different skill." Next, he said, "I really wanted to meet 'Abalone-chan' so much. It's the first time I've had such a strong feeling," and he successfully collected abalones again when he entered the sea, shouting, "Abalone! Abalone! Abalone!" He expressed, "I feel happier when I find abalones than when I win first place on a music show." THE BOYZ, to which Ju-yeon belongs, will hold the Seoul performance of the world tour "THE BOYZ WORLD TOUR: ZENERATION II" at the Seoul Olympic Park KSPO DOME (former gymnastics arena) from the 12th to the 14th of this month. The show recorded a complete sell-out as soon as ticket sales began, signaling a smooth start to the world tour. They seem to be a group leading the new generation of the "global K-POP scene," and they plan to present a special time to the audience with various charms and perfect performances.
