IU was also rejected by JYP because of being too fat. IU was able to lose dozens of pounds and finally made a comeback. However, Seo In Guk lost weight and damaged his vocal cords, losing his hard-won second interview. At that time, Seo In Guk had not yet starred in "Reply 1997", and he had no fans to support him, so at that moment, he felt despair in his heart because he really didn't want his mother to pick up scraps to support the family.
In October 1987, Seo In-guk was born in Ulsan, the largest industrialized city in South Korea. But the saddest thing in the world is that although your hometown’s GDP ranks among the top in the country, your wallet is still empty, Seo In-guk I can relate to this. His family was poor since he was a child. His father worked as a welder in a factory, but later lost his job due to a herniated disc. The burden of the family instantly fell on his mother alone. In order to raise Xu Inguo, his mother could only pick up scraps to support the family, but the difficult life The environment did not destroy Seo In-guk's will, but made him more grateful for his mother's dedication. As he grew up, Seo In-guk gradually fell in love with music and was determined to make a fortune and improve his family's life.
So in 2007, he came to JYP’s audition site. After the song, Seo In-guk’s beautiful voice fascinated the judges, but his huge body made them back away because JYP wanted to choose She is an artist, not a plus-size men's clothing model. However, out of appreciation for talent, the company decided to give Seo In-guk a chance and let him come back for another interview after losing weight. So Seo In-guk, who failed, started his weight loss journey, but he couldn't help but couldn't help it midway. After stealing food and then falling into endless regret, Xu Inguo gradually came up with a bad idea and induced vomiting immediately after eating. However, he never thought that after inducing vomiting more and more times, his vocal cords would be injured, and even Suffered from anorexia.
So when the second audition agreed with JYP came, Seo In-guk was unable to show off his singing voice perfectly and failed again. He suddenly had the same idea as a graduate student, to find a job as soon as possible to make money to support his family. , or continued to dream. Finally, with the support of his mother, he adjusted his mentality, slowly recuperated, and won the stage of the talent show "Super Star K" in 2009. From Park Chanyeol to Peng Yuyan, from Wei Daxun to Seo Inguk, facts have proved that everyone Fatty is a potential stock. After being rejected by JYP for being too fat, Seo In Guk regained his strength and participated in the audition. Finally, with a chance of 1 in 720,000, he won the championship in "Superstar K" and officially debuted as a singer.
It was also at this time that Seo In-guk deeply realized that good body management was also a duty that a qualified idol should perform. So soon after the show ended, he entered the devil's weight loss mode. Not only did he run in the gym all day long, but he also ate chicken breasts for two months in a row. He also changed all his staple foods to low-starch foods. Under the control of exercise and a reasonable diet, He eventually lost 40 pounds and turned himself into a muscular man. After successively releasing albums such as "Calling" and "Just Beginning", Seo In-guk made further plans for his career and began to try acting. Seo In-guk's debut was in a TV drama, "Love Rain" where he played a real musician, but it was "Reply 1997" that really made him soar.
As a popular Korean IP and the first work in the "Reply" series, "Reply 1997" was not favored by people at first because it was not only a low-cost production, but also the first film by director Shin Won-ho Personal TV series, it is precisely because of this that the opportunity fell to Seo In-guk. "1997" has the theme of chasing stars. The heroine is played by Jung Eun-ji, a member of "A Pink", and Seo In-guk plays a childhood sweetheart who silently protects her. Although there are no gorgeous sets and no well-known superstars, "1997" In the end, his natural and vivid performance became popular all over the country, and Seo In Guk attracted countless fans overnight. It is worth mentioning that his kiss scene with Jung Eun Ji in the drama is still regarded as the best kiss scene in youth school dramas. textbook.
Since then, Seo In-guk has opened up a bright future for both film, television and music, and has finally improved his originally poor family conditions. However, he has never been ashamed of it, and will instead be generous in variety shows. Thanks, my mother supports herself by picking up scraps. In December 2017, Seo In-guk, the male protagonist of "Reply 1997", suddenly announced his relationship, and the woman was Park Boram, the singer of the theme song "Hyehwa-dong" of "Reply 1997". Fans lamented, what kind of dream linkage is this? ? According to Korean media reports, the two were both contestants on the talent show "Superstar K" and later developed into lovers. It is worth mentioning that Park Bo Ram and Seo In Guk are both weight loss fighters. Seo In Guk ate two consecutive meals to lose weight. Moon Chicken Breast, and Park Boram directly suspended her acting career for four years.
Relying on exercise and controlling diet, the whole person can be reborn. However, no matter how similar the two ideas are, and how fans of the drama love to see it, in the eyes of one kind of fans, this is the disqualification of idols. performance, so overnight, Seo In-guk experienced a large-scale fan loss. An unblessed love was destined to end in tragedy. The following year after it was made public, the relationship between the two came to an end. However, the love crisis was not yet over. Completely calmed down, he caused a lot of controversy due to his military service. When Seo In-guk attended the press conference for the new drama, he responded positively to the issue of being exempted from military service. It is reported that Seo In-guk announced his enlistment in March 2017, but dropped out of training and underwent a physical examination. The result was that he was diagnosed with cartilage lesions in his left ankle, and was eventually exempted from military service.
South Korea, which regards military service as more serious than life, will undoubtedly receive a lot of ridicule. Even if Seo In-guk responded, he did not get the slightest understanding. Perhaps because of this, he gradually faded out of the audience's field of vision. . When he appeared again, it was with the new drama "The King Returns" with "National Sister" Park Bo Young. His temperament and figure were even better. However, the ratings of this drama were not satisfactory. This is undoubtedly a problem for the current Seo In Guk. It was a major blow, but after years of training, I believe he has already understood that the road ahead will be long, but the journey will soon be over.
