• Dongyoon said that when he thinks of debut he gets excited about the idea of being on stage
• Dongyoon said that if he continued to study instead of working on being an idol he would have majored in 'engineering'. He originally always loved to assemble and make stuff. He says he likes to buy wood to make boats. He even made a boat that could fly
• Dongyoon said that there is something in common with woodworking and rapping because it demands creativity. He likes to make new things other than stuff that already originally exists
• Dongyoon started being a trainee because of his dads suggestion. He says at first it was hard to adjust to the life of a trainee since he started it without much interest in it. But as he was a trainee and a student he came across many wonderful stages of various groups and his desire to be on stage grew and he was desperate to get on stage. After that he dreamed of being a great singer
• For Dongyoon the hardest time while being a trainee wasn't the hard practice but it was that he didn't have free time. Every day he would work hard for hours in the practice room and when he would see pics of his friends having fun it would make him question "Do I have to do this?". Sometimes he felt weak and he wanted to give up more than once. He said that he thinks it's the hardest physically and psychologically for him in his early 20's to practice for hours without being able to have free time and play around like his other friends who are also in their 20's
• For Dongyoon the happiest time while being a Trainee was that the company pays for the individual meals for the members once a month and the members collect some of that money together and once or twice a month they all go to a large market together with the money and they buy some food and cook it at the dorm. It might be a simple thing but it brings him happiness
