LISTEN. LEE DAWON DIDN'T HAVE IT EASY.

in one of his weekly bingbangs, dawon shared how he failed all the 20 schools that he applied for college. he tried so hard to get into one but the tides weren't on his side.

so while his friends were all out there living their lives, dawon said he was just there... trying to get by for 6 months—doing part-time jobs, wondering about the purpose of his life.

he even shared that he couldn't dance but he was street-casted and that's how he ended up auditioning for fnc. he thought things will start falling into place when they accepted him in the agency but he felt so much hostility from one of the directors that he almost gave up.

but you all know what? DAWON SAID HE PERSEVERED BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE HE FOUND A GOAL. THAT EVEN THOUGH HE FORGONE GOING TO SCHOOL, HE IS HERE WITH US NOW AS 1/9 OF SF9 AND FOR THAT HE WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL.

he rarely gets serious during his vlives but when he does, it's him admitting that sf9 and performing are the only things he has. please don't take it away from him.
