He then joked, _**\"In reality, I'm actually gentle and affectionate.\"**_\n\nLee Junyoung also brought up his role of a **rookie employee** in JTBC’s upcoming weekend drama **'Reborn Rookie'** and calmly reflected on **difficult memories** from his own **rookie years**.\n\nHe confessed, **_\"It was completely different from what I had imagined,\"_** explaining that he believed things would work out **smoothly** after his **debut** , but instead ended up facing even **tougher competition** due to the endless debut of **younger idol groups**.\n\nFurthermore, Lee Junyoung also shocked viewers by revealing that when he first began **acting** in **2017** following his debut with**U-KISS** in **2014** , he was deeply hurt by comments saying, \"_**Don't ruin things for actors who actually deserve to succeed.\"**_\n\nHe continued, _\"**People assume idols must get plenty of opportunities, but that isn't necessarily true. I went to countless auditions.** I felt like if I gave up at that point, I'd become a failure.\"_\n\nMentioning idol-turned-actors such as **Park Jihoon** , **Yim Siwan** , **Do Kyungsoo** , and more, Lee Junyoung said, **_\"I'm relieved and grateful that they succeeded as idol-turned-actors.
