Ji Chang Wook shared some tough audition stories on August 23 during the JTBC show My Name is Gabriel.
In the episode, Hong Jin-kyung and her friends visited a local club in Rwanda after attending several designer store auditions. Hong Jin-kyung, who was there for cultural exploration rather than partying, explained that her 19-year-old brother Kevin was with them on their mother’s advice, only drinking cola.
During the club visit, Hong Jin-kyung talked about her casting experience, feeling optimistic about a potential offer from teacher Matteo and receiving praise for her runway skills.
However, her friends were critical of their performance and took Hong Jin-kyung's advice to learn from their mistakes.
Ji Chang Wook, reflecting on his own audition experiences, revealed that he faced many rejections. He shared, "The worst part was when I could feel the judges weren’t interested in me at all. It was really hard to deal with that lack of interest."
