He said, “At that time, I really wanted to be on the stage. I endured on a pack of nuts a day.” He described the excessive diet as his intense desire to go on stage. This severe regimen helped him get to 64 kilograms, a total loss of 22 kgs. Choo Young Woo also described a crucial time when his confidence was shaken, attending a hagwon, or cram school, for aspiring actors. There, he met fellow students who poured all of their energy into acting and singing with fervour. Watching them made him wonder if he belonged.
Instead of giving up, Choo decided to explore deeper. He started training more intensively. He practised from the moment he opened his eyes until he fell asleep. He studied acting, prepared lines, and trained anywhere he could, including academies, dance studios, and even parking lots. Despite thriving on a dangerously low-calorie diet, he refused to stop.
