Ju Woo-jae and John Park revealed that they both dropped out of college. An unexpected commonality with Yu Jae-seok added to the amusement.
On the 8th, the SBS variety show Whenever Possible featured Ju Woo-jae and John Park as Tteum friends.
That day John Park shared recent news that he has been putting his own spin on girl group songs, so-called "girl group dojangkkaegi". The members praised not only his arranging skills but also John Park's distinctive timbre, marveling at his professional ability. Ju Woo-jae also displayed exceptional fandom. When asked how he became close to John Park, he said, "I'm Park's avid fan," saying he had watched his performances dozens of times.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jae-seok immediately teased, "Woo-jae watches way too much. He can't understand it at once." Ju Woo-jae bristled, "You don't understand a performance. You feel it," and defended his fandom for John Park.
Meanwhile, as they walked around the Hongdae area, the four's educational backgrounds naturally came up. Known for having attended Hongdae College of Engineering, Ju Woo-jae revealed he had not actually graduated. He said, "I withdrew during the second semester of my senior year. I debuted as a model at that time." When told he left school with graduation in sight, Yu Jae-seok seized the moment and attacked, "You lack perseverance." Feeling wronged, Ju Woo-jae protested, "Still, I attended for three and a half of the four years."
Then attention turned to Yu Jae-seok. Ju Woo-jae retorted to Yu Jae-seok, who entered Seoul Institute of the Arts but left after one semester, saying, "Weren't you someone who withdrew?" Even so, Yu Jae-seok did not back down. As Ju Woo-jae looked around Hongdae and reminisced about his college days and mentioned juniors, Yu Jae-seok snapped, "This isn't a nostalgia tour. If you didn't graduate, you're not a junior. You're a stranger," drawing laughter.
Questions were also directed to John Park, who had enrolled in a prestigious private university in the United States. Asked whether he completed college, John Park also revealed that he dropped out. He recalled, "While doing 'Superstar K2' I naturally moved to Korea," saying he had taken an audition while enrolled in college. Choosing the path of a singer naturally halted the college life he had been continuing in the U.S.
Thus, it was discovered that Ju Woo-jae, who had entered Hongdae College of Engineering, John Park, who attended a prestigious American university, and Yu Jae-seok, who entered Seoul Institute of the Arts, all dropped out of college. A caption that the only person among the four who graduated was Yoo Yeon-seok also drew laughter.
John Park also shared that he is now in his 16th year since debut. Now in his fourth year of marriage, he said his child is already 3 years old, drawing attention.
Meanwhile, Ju Woo-jae became a target of teasing from Yu Jae-seok even in the game. Contrary to confidently passing on his know-how earlier, when it was his turn he repeatedly failed and fell into a deep slump. Watching this, Yu Jae-seok hit back, "I knew it when Woo-jae started acting pretentious," turning the scene into a sea of laughter. Ju Woo-jae was embarrassed, saying, "I taught the know-how and I lost," and his face turned pale from continuous failures.
Savoring the bitterest taste of his life, Ju Woo-jae finally succeeded on the tenth turn. After long failures he completed the mission, breathed a sigh of relief and emerged from the pit of relentless failure.
