  "textContent": "**U-KISS' ex-member Lee Junyoung** just opened up about a **brutal experience** he had to go through when he first started out.\n\nOn the 6th, tvN's **'You Quiz on the Block'** dropped a preview for its upcoming episode on their official Youtube channel, showing **Lee Junyoung** looking back on his days **promoting in Japan**.\n\nHe revealed,_\"**The other members were already fluent in Japanese.** Meanwhile, I went over there knowing only three phrases:**'Good evening,' 'Hello,'** and **'Thank you very much.'** \"_ He described the whole situation as **'brutal,'** and then, it got even worse from there.\n\nHe recalled having his company dropped him off in the middle of **Shibuya** and told him **to find his own way back** to the dorm:\n\n> \"It was only a 15-minute walk, but**I couldn't speak the language** and**the company had also taken my phone.** What should have been a**15-minute walk** ended up taking me**four hours.** \"\n\nLee Junyoung explained that the company dumped him right in front of the iconic **Tower Records**. After he crossed the street and walked farther uphill, he completely panicked because it was his **first time ever visiting Japan** :\n\n> \"Right then and there,**I realized I absolutely had to learn the language.** It was incredibly **frustrating** because I could only say those **three phrases**.\"\n\nThe only saving grace was that he at least knew **the dorm address** , which was in **Kamiyamacho**. With **no phone** and **zero navigation** , he had to keep stopping random people on the street and asking,**_\"How do I get to Kamiyamacho?\"_** Thank god he made it back safe and sound.",
