On the latest episode of SBS’s A Moment To Spare, actor Kim Dae Myung revealed a surprising and emotional moment from his past, sharing that it took him five attempts to get into college, all because he was determined to study acting.

During the 18th episode of the variety show, which has been steadily rising in ratings with a 1.5% viewership among viewers aged 20 to 49, Kim Dae Myung opened up about his long journey to college.

He recalled, “I wanted to act no matter what, so I ended up trying five times.” When he finally passed the entrance exam for Sungkyunkwan University, he was stunned to see a ‘clown’ image appear on the screen, making him question, “Did I really get this far?” The actor confessed that he couldn’t believe it and just kept staring at the screen in disbelief.

Kim Jong Min shared a funny and relatable story of his own, telling Kim Dae Myung, “I felt that way when I took my driver’s license test. I got 68 out of 70 on the written test and still failed! Then I got 64 the next time. I failed three times.” This made Kim Dae Myung laugh, bonding over their shared experience of repeated failures.

But the surprises didn’t stop there. Kim Dae Myung, Yoo Jae Suk, and Kim Jong Min discovered an unexpected connection during the episode. When Kim Dae Myung mentioned he was from Suyu Ri, Yoo Jae Suk and Kim Jong Min immediately became curious and started looking up their schools.

Yoo Jae Suk exclaimed, “If you’re from Ssangmun Middle, Suyu Middle, or Dobong Middle, that’s amazing. It’s not easy to meet people from Suyu Ri. It’s impressive that we’re all gathered here.”

Kim Dae Myung responded excitedly, “If we’re from these three areas, it’s a deep connection. I’ll make the most of this Suyu Ri bond.” Kim Jong Min jokingly added, “We’re like family~,” officially kicking off the “Suyu Trio,” a trio united by their hometown, which will surely bring even more fun and excitement to the show.

The bond continued to grow, as Kim Dae Myung encountered a junior from Suyu Ri during a trip, and even more Suyu Ri natives began to appear, sparking what fans are calling the “Suyu Ri universe” within the show.

TWICE's Nayeon has made a huge real estate move, purchasing a luxury home worth a whopping 4 billion won in Nonhyeon-dong, one of the most prestigious areas in Gangnam, Seoul!

According to a recent report from Herald Economics, Nayeon bought a high-end apartment at the Brighton N40 complex in May of last year for 3.94 billion won.
