π₯Ί Before Lee Jun-young became one of Korea's hottest rising actors...
He was secretly working the night shift at a convenience store just to help pay off his family's debt.
The heartbreaking part? π
He had already debuted with U-KISS, but because he barely had any activities in Korea, he wasn't making enough money to survive.
One night, while working behind the counter, his manager unexpectedly walked in to buy cigarettes.
Lee Jun-young said he was so embarrassed that he couldn't say a single word... he just stood there and cried.
His manager cried too. π
From that day on, Lee Jun-young said he kept telling himself one thing:
"I'm going to succeed."
Looking at where he is today... he really did. β€οΈ
