Talking about trainee days
Q: What was it like?
Sungmin: It was interesting, we practiced singing and dancing with others. It was like our play time. We'd also pretend we were on variety shows, etc.
Q: How long did you train for?
Sungmin: 7.. no, 6 years.
Q: What were some of your toughest times?
Sungmin: Junsu, Eunhyuk, and I almost debuted as a group. But then Junsu debuted as a TVXQ member. So we started to drift apart. I always questioned when I was going to debut, and I became frustrated. I was 19 at the time. After that, I kept practicing and never gave up. I always said, try one more time.
Q: Do you remember your first broadcast?
Sungmin: I only appeared for a few seconds out of the-three-minute song. This is because we had many members. We all cried after our debut stage. It was so surreal I asked myself, did I just debut, am I a singer? Our first schedule overseas was in Thailand. It was my first time on a plane.
