Jo Kwon reveals the hardships behind his 8-year period as a trainee

2AM‘s Jo Kwon opened up and revealed his honest feelings about his 8-year period as a trainee.

The March 19th broadcast of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Star Life Theater‘ featured 2AM. During the program, member Jo Kwon confessed, “While I was a trainee, I countlessly heard the question, ‘When are you going to debut?’”

He added, “Every time I heard that kind of question, my self-confidence disappeared and I was so embarrassed that I wanted to hide in a hole. So I lied and answered, ‘I’m going to debut next month’ or ‘I will debut in the beginning of next year’. However, that fact shook me to the core.”

Also, fellow member Seulong revealed, “Jo Kwon was a trainee for a very long time. Whenever he would say, ‘I really want to die’ it really felt like he was being truthful, so I was very upset.”
