This week's airing of MBC's 'Real Men' was filled with tears and pain for ZE:A's Dongjun as he faced his biggest challenge yet due to knee pains.
While training for combat swimming, Dongjun was seen struggling to complete the training due to his injured knee, limping throughout without complaint. However, once the training was over, Dongjun was diagnosed by the naval surgeon that he needs to rest in order to preserve his knee.

The surgeon said, "If you want to keep your knee, it's best to take a rest now." The squadron leader also told Dongjun, "It's not that we don't understand how you feel. But if you want to continue in the long-run, you need to take a rest now."
When given his devastating diagnosis Dongjun said teary-eyed during his interview, "It felt as though the sky was falling. If I gave up here, then I felt as though that I would be giving up on something that I had to do. I don't want to give up on anything anymore."
