actor Lee Junyoung candidly revealed that, based on the time of recording and with five days until enlistment, he chose success over family hardships and dating.
On the 7th, the YouTube channel ChaJwiPpul released episode 47, titled "Lee Junyoung five days before enlistment ChaJwiPpul, romantic pass."
That day the producers introduced Lee Junyoung as "the first ChaJwiPpul guest five days before enlistment," "Netflix's son," and "a man of seven losses and eight tries."
At the time of filming, with five days until enlistment, Lee Junyoung appeared nervous, calling it "my last drinking broadcast as a civilian." He told Lee Youngji, "Your energy in videos is exactly the same. It feels like watching TV. I greeted you a few times backstage at an awards ceremony," and added, "I really like Youngji's music."
On the other hand, very shy, he repeatedly apologized, saying, "I am very shy, sorry," and each time "sorry" was said it led to the penalty of drinking, bringing laughter.
What drew the most attention that day was his candid confession about dating. In response to the question, "Why didn't you date?" Lee Junyoung cautiously opened up, saying, "My success was number one. The household was struggling." He continued, "I cannot forget how my parents worked hard. When I was young I wanted to pay off the family's debts first," and confessed, "I really wanted to succeed as an artist. Even now I think I should live while protecting what I have done."
He also recalled his days as a member of U-KISS. He recalled, "Our team did really well in Japan, but in Korea we did part-time jobs." He added, "Doing part-time work wasn't embarrassing, but when I unexpectedly ran into a manager I used to be close to, I couldn't stop crying," recalling the moment with emotion.
At the end of the video he left a video letter to his future self. When asked to say a word to himself after discharge, Lee Junyoung smiled and briefly said, "You'll be doing well."
Meanwhile, Lee Junyoung entered the recruit training center on July 7, five days after that filming, and after completing basic military training he will continue his service as an active-duty soldier in the army.
