He also talked about his connection with singer Sung Si-kyung, saying, 'Sung Si-kyung passed N1. I called him after failing the exam. Since I failed, I should ask N1, right? He told me, 'Did you read the entire book? The only reason you failed is that you didn't work hard. Read everything you didn't read and take it in December. Then you'll pass.' He revealed Sung Si-kyung's straightforward advice.
