Shownu shared that listening to his fellow judges inspired him to want to be an even more positive influence on other people.

I was one of the judges alongside Lee Seung Chul on ‘CAP-TEEN,’ and the advice he gave to the contestants made me stop and reflect on my own self.

Shownu further explained that having his juniors inform him how much he’s set a positive influence on them is something he loves to hear.

When junior idols tell me, ‘You’re cool,’ or ‘I’m a fan,’ I feel so grateful and proud that I can’t express it in words. Even though I can’t express it on the outside, it’s one of the things that makes me extremely happy.

As the great role model he is, Shownu conveyed how he always tries to take great opportunities when they come his way.

I don’t have a daring personality, but when an opportunity comes my way, I try to at least take on the challenge. MONSTA X releasing a full-length album in English in the U.S., or participating in a survival program as a judge—I personally think those were new challenges for me
