Lee Joon shared the behind-the-scenes story of his cheerleading performance.

On the 27th, Lee Joon appeared as a guest on tvN's variety show 'You Quiz on the Block.'

On this day, Lee Joon talked about his cheerleading performance that recently went viral, saying, "I was only given two days. Even though I was there for filming, there was still an audience watching. I didn't want to be seen peeking at others from the corner of my eyes looking around for cues, so I spent all my time memorizing choreography for 40 songs like I was preparing for the Korea National University of Arts entrance exam."

He continued, "At one point, I became so stressed that tears started welling up in my eyes. I couldn't memorize everything and my brain just wouldn't cooperate, I even doubted myself, thinking, 'Why am I only capable of this much?'"

Meanwhile, 'You Quiz on the Block' airs every Wednesday at 8.45 PM (KST) on tvN.

On the 24th, tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' released a preview video titled, "Lee Joon secretly lived in the school practice room to avoid cockroaches when he was in high school."

Lee Joon, who graduated from the dance department at Seoul Arts High School, shared that he practically lived inside the practice room. He explained, "There were long lockers big enough for someone to fit in. I would hide in one, and after the security guard finished patrolling and locked the building, I would come out," adding, "A practice room with all the lights off is really scary. I practiced dancing there and even slept there too."

Lee Joon explained there was a reason he spent his school years pushing himself through intense dance practies and staying overnight at school. He said, "At the time, my family was going through severe financial difficultes. Our house was infested with cockroaches." He continued, "One habit I still can't get rid of is that even now, whenever I sleep somewhere else like on '2 Days 1 Night,' I always lift the pillow to check underneath it first. Back then, every single time I lifted the pillow, there would be four cockroaches underneath, and whenever I went to brush my teeth in the bathroom, there would even be cockroaches crawling on the bristles of my toothbrush."

Lee Joon added, "The house I used to live in is still there. Sometimes I visit it, and it feels like I've returned to those days. Then when I come back home, my current house is so nice that it feels incredibly strange. It makes me feel like I haven't changed much from back then, but at the same time, I realize I'm now living with and receiving so many things."

Meanwhile, the episode of tvn's 'You Quiz on the Block' featuring Lee Joon is scheduled to air on the 27th at 8.45 PM (KST).

Lee Joon announces marriage plans ... "You never know when you might hit rock bottom," plans to be off the market within 2 years

Singer and actor Lee Joon transformed into a 'couple manager' and revealed his thoughts on marriage.

On the 8th, a video titled 'I'm... Getting married..!!!' was posted on the Youtube channel 'Workman.' In the video, Lee Joon visited a matchmaking company to experience a day in the life of a couple manager.

From the beginning of the filming, Lee Joon said, "I didn't care before, but lately I've been watching a lot of matchmaking agency Youtube videos," and added, "As you get older, there are fewer places to meet people. Honestly, I think I'd probably use a service like this too." He especially drew attention by revealing a specific goal, "I want to get married within two years," saying that if he doesn't find a partner by the end of this year, he plans to officially sign up for the service next year.

Before fully learning the duties of a couple manager,Lee Joon filled out his own profile. After writing 'celebrity' as his occupation, the consulting manager advised him that it could be one of career that is not preferred. In response, Lee Joon replied with a bitter joke, "That's true. You never know when you might hit rock bottom." He also showed a very human side by writing down honest details such as, 'I drink alcohol every day' and 'I have insomnia.'

That day, Lee Joon also assisted with consultations with real customers. During one consultation, he quoted a Youtube who said, "The standard of being able to date someone is being able to imagine whether you could kiss them," and humorously suggested the unique standard of 'kissable looks.' He even personally called members he had matched and recommended them by saying, "I'd actually want to meet them myself," and "One of them is exactly my type."

Wrapping up the experience, Lee Joon shared his honest thoughts by saying, "Helping with such an important moment in someone's life is a really appealing work," and ended the episode with an acrostic poem, saying, "At Gayeon (NB: the name of the matchmaking company), Lee Joon will be the first celebrity to get married," raising anticipation among his fans.

Dispatch's failures

Dispatch's target: getting all of SNSD's members in dating rumours.

So they started to follow Seohyun around, but those were the only things they get..

"Eventhough standing far away, it's Taemin" 

(=It's Taemin again)

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋThe only one Kai meeting is Taemin, it's like telling dispatch to go home

"Our friendship, forever"

That was the last captionㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I didn't write it f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Bestfriends, going for a walk around Han River.

Who: Shinee Taemin (22) and EXO Kai (21)

When: 3rd of June, when the summer starts. 

Where: Seoul, Gangnam District, Sinsa-dong.

What: Taemin and Kai going for a walk around Han River.

Why: SM's representative of bestfriends, seen around Han River. Eventhough Taemin wore a mask, it's obvious that it's Taemin, and Kai just looks like Kai even from far away. The appearance of 'Dream Boy' instead of 'Dream Boy' making people steal glances.

How: 8 years of friendships, Taemin and Kai already knew each other since their trainee days, and still meet eventhough both have busy schedules.

Taemin is currently busy with 'Shinee world3' World tour, and Kai is busy with 'Exo planet' tour. That's why they meet during their breaks, as they embrace others in their arms.

 

 This was taken when dispatch is trying to drag Lee Joon into a dating rumor. But they only found out that Lee Joon and his manager went to a restaurant (Kimbap Heaven) wearing an MBLAQ t-shirt and ate Kimchi fried rice and drank Strawberry milk. So they followed him around again

This time he went to a bar with his collagues to eat fried shrimp and because he was feeling good he even stopped and turned around while kicking the air in the middle of the street.

original

-They really followed them around...

-Lee Joonㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-But in the end, Kai.....

-Dispatch's failure is my idol's happiness.

-I'd get goosebumps if someone followed me around like that

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋSistar's also funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ they were smiling brightly except Hyorin

-But if you think about it.. They just went to a cafe to meet frient, they went to a restaurant and ate Kimchi fried rice because they were hungry but someone followed them around and also took pictures of them and uploaded it so the whole nation know.. Isn't it too much?
