In-soo’s Pre-debut Story
In-Soo graduated from Anyang Arts Highschool with a major in theater and film. He dreamed of being a singer since young and wanted to join Anyang Arts High’s theater and film studies which many stars graduated from, but he was eliminated and had to major in his second choice of dance. “I thought I would definitely get into theater and film, but it didn’t turn out the way I thought. So I went for the auditions of my 2nd choice of dance and the teachers told me to wear tights. At that moment, I thought to myself that I should just give up, but at that time, Ryang-hyun and Ryang-ha sunbaenims came to take an exam and their father told me: ‘If a man chose his knife, would he even be able to cut anything?’ and he told me to just go for the audition even if it’s only once. In the end, I didn’t put on tights, but went for the audition in sweat pants.” “Even after I majored in dance, I told the teacher that I wanted to be a singer and didn’t dance for 2 years. After the lesson ended, my friends went to the practice room to dance while I went to a practical music school and took vocal and instrument lessons. Even outside of school, I never told anyone I was a dance major and I lied to my parents a lot that I went for dance practice. At that time, my teacher was really angry with me.” In-Soo opened his eyes to ballet a year before he graduated high school and continued to dance with joy throughout college. But it was hard for a male dancer to survive in the country. In-Soo hadn’t even served his time in the military and he couldn’t guarantee his future and wanted to do ballet more than anything, but he realized his predicament. “If I don’t dance continuously, my body will stiffen and you can’t save the feel and sense of dance. If I went to the military, I can return to it but I have no confidence in doing well. So I found my old dream of becoming a singer and decided to take part in Superstar K. I went for the auditions and made it through to Super Week with much luck. I believe that these processes helped my debut with the band MYNAME and that it was a chance for me to learn.” In-Soo said it was a chance for him to learn from the many difficulties he faced up till MYNAME’s debut. They were lessons with goals and dreams. It’s the reason In-Soo can enjoy this exhaustion.
