Father Lee Chang-min Reveals Idol Dream Crushed: "Rejected by All Big 3 Agencies"

Father Lee Chang-min, who appeared on the popular tvN variety show 'You Quiz on the Block,' has garnered attention for his candid confession about his past dream of becoming an idol.

During the broadcast, Father Lee shared, "My childhood dream was to be an idol. It was my number one career aspiration." He further revealed the backstory, stating, "When I was twenty, I auditioned for all the major three entertainment companies and was rejected by all of them."

After giving up on his idol aspirations, Father Lee worked in the Everland parade team as a jellyfish character. While serving in the military, he went through a difficult period due to his father's battle with cancer. It was then that a nun's comforting words and the documentary 'To the Wonder' provided him with profound realization. He reflected on his life, realizing he had been too focused on his own happiness, and decided to pursue a spiritual path.

The episode also featured director Park Chan-wook and actor Lee Byung-hun, who discussed their reunion 25 years after their iconic film 'Oldboy.'

Father Lee Chang-min once aspired to be an idol singer and pursued auditions, but ultimately chose the path of theology. He was deeply moved by the documentary 'To the Wonder,' which led him to reflect on his own life. Currently, as a priest, he is dedicated to helping those in need and sharing warmth with the community.
