Inspiring message for late bloomers from Wanna One's Jisung

[Mees Madds]

 

 

Wanna One’s Yoon Ji Sung recently opened up about his own experiences as a trainee to offer advice to people who are worried that they are getting a late start in life.

 

Yoon Ji Sung shared his own life story as he said, “I think this is something that everyone in their early to mid-twenties can relate to. I debuted at a relatively late age. Although I was personally okay with the waiting that I had to do, what started to take a toll on me was when my family would gather for the holidays and everyone would be worrying about me and asking me, ‘So when are we going to see you on TV?'â€

 

He went on to state, “Personally, I don’t think there’s such a thing as a ‘late age’ to start anything. I just focused on loving myself, putting in the effort, and showing what I’ve got,†and, “I want to reach out to the people who share the same dreams as me. I know people around me who are trying to get a job but things aren’t going the way they’d hoped. I want to be a message of hope for them. Measuring your happiness based on others will always leave you unhappy. I know it’s difficult to set yourself as on your own standard, but I hope people never stop supporting their own paths.â€

 

Yoon Ji Sung made his debut as a member of Wanna One in 2017 after appearing on Mnet’s “Produce 101 Season 2.†He was one of the oldest contestants on the show, as he was 26 years old at the time.

As some trainees from PD101 once said, "Jisung winning is like human kind winning".
A true inspiration and source of strength for many. I'm so proud of him and admire him so much.

Well, objectively speaking, idol groups' main target are people in their 10s-early 20s, so the ideal age for an idol is someone in this age range, and in the case of male idols, if they debut too late they'll have to enlist soon after debut, but I agree that people shouldn't measure their own happiness based on others' standards. This reminds me when some of my ex classmates ask me when I'm going to "settle down" and think about starting a family like them, etc. It's like from mid 20s and onwards everyone is expected to live that kind of life and it's like...chill, everyone has their own pace.

 

Anyway, he isn't even that old. Lots of active idols are in their late 20s and even 30s and he's only 26. Lots of people acted as if he was a literal grandpa when he was chosen.

I can relate with what he is saying as I too had the same concern. Very wise words.

[namidaone]

Instead of becoming bitter about the obstacles he faced, 

he believed in himself and focused on chasing his dream to debut. 

He first caught my attention for his memes as the unofficial leader of the MMO gossip squad. 

But he's definitely  earned my respect for his maturity as the official leader of W1. 

[Dreams De Grace]

Such a great and TRUE message.
