Singer and actor Im Si-wan recalled his difficult past.
On the 14th, a video titled “The Great Person Supported by Left SM and Right Black Label” was posted on the YouTube channel ‘TEO Teo’.
In the video, Im Si-wan said, “When I meet with the members of ZE:A, we often revisit those times, especially discussing our living arrangements.”
He continued, “Looking back at our beginnings, including trainees who didn’t debut with ZE:A, ten of us would sleep side-by-side in one room. If someone returned late, they might inadvertently step on and wake up a sleeping friend.”
Im Si-wan also mentioned, “Before debuting, we filmed a reality program, prompting a move to a different dorm, and lived like that for about a year. The upgraded dorm then housed four or five people per room.”
Im Si-wan reminisced, “When ten of us lived in one room, it was roughly the size of the current ‘Salon Drip’ studio. I truly felt a sense of despair, especially after finishing a shoot and barely making it home by dawn, only for the first member’s alarm to go off shortly after. At that moment, I knew I also had to get up.”
