SOURCE: "7년간 춤·노래 안 돼 SM서 데뷔 못 해, 막막했다" 공승연의 고백
Actress Gong Seungyeon looked back on her time spending seven years as a trainee under SM Entertainment.
On the 18th, tvN’s 'You Quiz on the Block' uploaded a preview clip on its official account titled, 'The hard truth from Gong Seungyeon's mother that snapped her back to reality after spending 7 years as a trainee.'
In the video, Yoo Jaesuk asked, "I heard you entered SM Entertainment after winning the 'best looks' title in a gayageum competition. I'm curious who your fellow trainees were at the time.'
In response, Gong Seungyeon said, "There were members of Girls' Generation, Super Junior, Red Velvet, EXO, and more," before adding, "At that time, I didnt really have natural talent, so I wasn’t good at singing or dancing. There was a reason I couldn’t debut."
She continued, "When I ultimately failed to debut and left the agency, I felt completely lost. I didn’t know how to begin on my own."
Gong Seungyeon recalled, "One day, while I was just lying around at home, my mother bluntly said, 'How long are you going to waste your life at home?'" She added, "That snapped me back to reality. So after that, I went around meeting my acquaintances and earnestly asked them to give me audition opportunities."
Gong Seungyeon's journey to becoming an actress will be revealed on the episode of 'You Quiz on the Block' airing on the 20th.
