[TRANS] Shindong had wanted to quit Super Junior before

Korean idol boyband member Shindong has admitted that he once thought of quitting Super Junior, and exposed that his original dream was not to be a singer, but to earn lots of money instead.

On last night’s episode of MBC [Radio Superstar] (?), Shindong expressed that when he first entered Super Junior, the disparity between his and the other members’ looks hit him very hard. He admitted that he knew deeply it was impossible for him to match up to the others in terms of looks, so he was then determined to be the funniest member in SuJu.

However, he soon found out that there were members who were funnier and more comedic than he was, and this led to him not knowing what role to play in the group, and eventually a serious consideration of quitting the group altogether.

Shindong also said, his original goal was not to be a singer, but to become an artiste so that he could earn more money. All of his singing and dance training was to become such an artiste, but in the end he unexpectedly ended up in an idol group.

He said that after being a singer, was he able to personally feel the charisma that music has, and now he no longer has any thoughts of leaving the group, and will work harder to become a better musician.
