Kim Dong-jun, a former member of the group JeGuk-i-deul, spoke about dating during his idol days.
On the 4th, a video titled "Everything about idol flings I can say now | I liked the times we secretly passed notes" was released on the YouTube channel 'JoDongari'.
The video featured Kim Dong-jun, ASTRO's MJ, SF9's Jaeyoon, TEEN TOP's Ricky and others. Recalling the time he met Han Ga-in, Kim Dong-jun said, "I was surprised too. I realized then how someone would see my profile," and added, "I kept looking because it was fascinating. I couldn't hear the conversation well, but the feeling of amazement was strong," drawing laughter.
Kim Yong Man recalled that Kim Dong-jun was on the soccer team he played on, bringing up their connection. Kim Dong-jun said, "We were on the same team, but we didn't do well," and Kim Yong Man said that Jun Hyun-moo and Lee Yoon-seok were also on the soccer team, adding, "Jun Hyun-moo tripped on the artificial turf, fell, and immediately went in. He ran for three minutes and said it smelled like blood," which caused laughter. In this context, TEEN TOP's Ricky boasted that he was the "military band Messi."
Bonded by the common experience of being idols, when talk turned to music shows, Kim Dong-jun said, "Before going on, I look at the performers and sign the CDs," and when Kim Soo-yong asked, "If you like a female idol, wouldn't you give a note?" Kim Dong-jun revealed, "I remember writing down contact information and receiving it," piquing the interest of Kim Yong Man, Kim Soo-yong, and Jee Seokjin.
Opening by saying it was a story from 10 years ago, Kim Dong-jun explained, "I can say it now. We didn't have cell phones, and there was no social media. There were times I received notes through managers, and sometimes notes were exchanged while waiting in line before going on stage. The members roughly knew about that and would hide it from the managers. The person I exchanged notes with is still active now."
In particular, Kim Dong-jun said, "Many people say on broadcasts that 'Idol Athletics Championships' is a meeting place. I was an athlete then. I was often asked if anything happened, but nothing happened at all. For me, 'Idol Athletics Championships' was an athletes' village. Instead of notes, I received batons," he said. Ricky said, "From what I've heard, there are so many staff and singers that the waiting room is like a marketplace. I heard you can meet at emergency exits," which drew attention.
Jaeyoon said, "They say you can exchange looks, but I only saw the manager hyung's gaze. He told me not to sleep, so I remember keeping my eyes wide open. I saw more men's eyes," and MJ said, "When I was a rookie and the waiting room was like a marketplace, I want to know where exactly is the meeting place."
