Actor Seo Kang-jun revealed an anecdote about passing the SM Entertainment audition.

On the 6th, a video titled "Seo Kang-jun, who made it to 7% body fat despite everyone telling him to stop exercising," was released on the YouTube channel 'Fairy Jaehyung'.

Seo Kang-jun also recalled his experience studying abroad in Malaysia during his childhood. He said, "I studied in Malaysia for about two years when I was young. Both my mother and father were very eager for education, and they probably wanted me to see the world more broadly."

He continued, "At that time, I was going through puberty and only hung out with friends, so my parents likely thought my perspective was too narrow. A friend of my father ran a boarding school in Malaysia, so I attended an international school there. I went when I was in the second year of middle school and returned when I was in the first year of high school."

After returning to Korea, he prepared for modeling activities at his mother's suggestion. Seo Kang-jun stated, "My mother recommended that I try modeling after I came back. At the time, I was young and didn't think much about it, so I agreed and worked as a model trainee for about two years."

He added, "In my third year of high school, I had two runway shows scheduled. After completing them, I quit. During the training period, I kept feeling that this wasn't the right path for me. Although I wanted to walk on stage at least once, I didn't have any dreams or goals beyond that."

He also revealed an unexpected story about passing the SM Entertainment audition. Seo Kang-jun said, "A friend invited me to go together, and we went to the SM audition. Only I passed."

He continued with a laugh, "After I passed, my mother answered the phone. She said, 'We have no interest in our child doing that,' and hung up."

Seo Kang-jun also admitted he had no intention of pursuing idol activities at the time. He explained, "I probably didn't plan to do it either. I knew very well that I lacked talent. While I could learn singing and dancing to some extent, I realized I had no natural ability or passion for it."
