Lee Joon has revealed that he took up dancing after almost losing his sight as a child.
In the latest episode of the YouTube series ‘ZIP Daesung’, Lee Joon opened up about a past incident. He shared, “When I was younger, bb guns were all the rage. I ended up getting a bullet in my eye while playing a war game. My eyes turned red with tears of blood, and I couldn’t see anything.”
Lee Joon further disclosed that he was unable to walk for a month due to eye pressure, stating, “I was lying down with an eye mask, and I couldn’t even go to the bathroom.” He added, “I was diagnosed with blindness, so I kept listening to the radio. That was when I became a huge fan of H.O.T, Fin.K.L, and Sechskies. After I received treatment, I got up and saw them perform. They were so cool. That’s when I started dancing.”
‘ZIP Daesung’ host Daesung responded, “You became a singer because of that bullet. If it didn’t get in your eye, would you have listened to the radio so intently?”
