Seo In Guk revealed that he developed an eating disorder while trying to lose weight for his JYP Entertainment audition.

On April 19th, Seo In Guk made an appearance on YTN's 'News and Issues - Issue and People', and shared a heartbreaking story of what he did to try to be accepted by JYP Entertainment.

He revealed that at his first JYP audition, he was told that it would be nice if he came back after losing some weight. After hearing that, he developed an unhealthy obsession with his weight as well as a bulimic habit.

After finally losing the weight, he returned to JYP to audition once again, but this time he was told, "You lost a lot of weight, but I'm guessing you haven't practiced singing at all." Seo In Guk explained his vocal cords were damaged from forcing himself to regurgitate the food he ate and couldn't sing well as a result.

The anchor then asked him, "After that experience, did you lose all hope by the next audition?", to which Seo In Guk replied, "It actually brought forth an unfound confidence in me. It was enough confidence that I was able to look into the eyes of the judges when I was on 'Superstar K'."

Seo In Guk also revealed how he did not even carry around 10,000 won ($8.89 USD) in his wallet during his college years.
