Actor and GOT7 member Jinyoung gets real about his previous experiences in the entertainment industry, which even made him want to quit his career.

Here's what the idol-actor said.

GOT7 Jinyoung Talks About Struggles on GQ Australia Interview

The boy group GOT7 made their long-awaited comeback with a self-titled EP on May 23. As part of their promotions, they participated in various interviews.

Park Jinyoung drew attention for his shocking revelation in an interview with GQ Australia. Being one of the talented actors today, who would've thought that he almost came to a point he wanted to leave everything he earned in the entertainment industry?

For the first time, "The Devil Judge" actor revealed he experienced a major personal shift internally. Before the much-awaited group comeback and in-between drama filmings, Jinyoung was quiet and serious, to the point that even his members felt uncomfortable around him.

The celebrity shared:

"In the past few days, I've been playful with my members, that's what's changed. Before, when we went overseas for our schedules, I'd be the quiet and stern one. I was so serious that the members felt uncomfortable around me. I felt like even though I was trying my best during those times, I wasn't being honest."

Journalist Taylor Glasby, who recently worked with GOT7, said that Jinyoung was unhappy 60-70% of the time, which caused Jinyoung to consider abandoning his career. Mr. Taylor added that Jinyoung decided to stay because he knew that there were people who believed in him, particularly his family, members, and fans.

Thanks to the people around Jinyoung, he was able to recover and seems to be happier and more comfortable now in life and work.

Though it wasn't anyone's fault, Jinyoung admitted that it was him and the way he looked at the world. But after a time of self-reflection, that's when the idol-actor realized that he needed to change to continue doing his crafts as a singer and as an actor.
