THE BOYZ's Juyeon has shared some surprising insights into his unexpected passion for reading, leaving fans in awe of his thoughtful and reflective nature!

In a recent interview for YES24's reading campaign Read With Me, Juyeon opened up about his love for books and how reading plays an important role in his life. He was the third participant in the campaign, and his list of “life-changing books” has certainly sparked interest among fans.

Juyeon shared that he doesn't read to relax but rather to grow and improve himself. He explained, “I don’t read books for comfort or relaxation, but rather to use them as a source of energy to better myself.” His dedication to self-improvement was clear as he mentioned, “When I read, I often pause to reflect on certain passages. Sometimes, I even make notes on my phone about what I've read.”

Fans were especially surprised when Juyeon revealed some of his notes, showcasing his deep thoughts and introspection. And in a sweet and unexpected moment, he shared that he doesn't cry easily but admitted that Slam Dunk made him tear up! “Even though I’m not someone who cries easily, Slam Dunk really touches my heart," he said.

Juyeon also recommended books that helped him through difficult times, like The Star of Dog Food by Hwang Sok Young, which he’s read over five times. He explained, “This book gave me strength when I was struggling in my life, and I still remember many of its passages.” He also praised Creative Acts by Rick Rubin, saying, “If you’re an artist, this is definitely a must-read.”

In addition to these life-changing books, Juyeon shared his love for a variety of genres, from Hermann Hesse’s Demian to Françoise Sagan’s Life is Too Slow, and Hope is Too Violent, proving his diverse reading tastes.

When asked which book would represent his life, Juyeon picked a “coming-of-age novel” and joked, “I have so many stories to tell that even Toji wouldn’t be enough. If I wrote a 600-page novel, I’d probably be around page 100 right now!”

Juyeon’s thoughtful nature and passion for reading have left fans even more captivated by the multi-talented idol.
