He was supposed to be a member of K-pop group GOT7. In an interview for the KBS talk show Happy Together, Hyo Seop talked about his time at the famed Korean agency JYP Entertainment, and how he’d actually trained to be a member of the popular K-pop group GOT7. He recalled being discovered by the agency, who somehow found out about him when he was just a student at university. While he almost debuted with the group, the plan fell through with one of the main reasons being his height (you heard that right). Unfortunately, Hyo Seop (who stands at a commanding 6’2″) was just too tall for the group. He admitted that he “really resented” his height back then, and wanted to become shorter. Luckily, the experience still proved to be a positive one since he was able to make and maintain really good friendships (some might even call it bromances) with a lot of the boys, especially Jackson Wang.
