with Shownu working with his senior artists for the show, he expressed that the music of Lee Seung Chul, which he has been listening to ever since he was little, is one of the things that's helped him get to where he is right now. "The fact that I get to be a judge alongside him is still surprising and nerve-racking to me."
The idol continued saying that he thinks about how he started his own trainee life back when he was in his teens when he sees the contestants. And being a judge for the first time, he said that he would be working hard to teach the teenage contestants and their parents everything he learned along his journey.
