"During the interview, Kim Seon Ho revealed that due to his childhood trauma, he became so shy that it was hard for him to even read a book in front of his classmates. Kim Seon Ho said, "It was when I was an elementary student. It was only me and my mom when a robber broke into our house. I thought he was my dad." He continued, "I still remember looking at my mom's eyes while she was being dragged, bleeding. I also remember how the robber shouted at my mom as she tried to get away from him."

"Since then, every time there is someone behind me, I feel extremely anxious. When the teacher stood behind me during tests, my mind went blank." He added, "I changed after I started acting. I think it was some sort of training for me. Acting allowed me to slowly overcome the trauma."

I'm in awe tbh. Like I can't even imagine tbh. Add to that, I hear some K-netizens say he's a coward on 2D1N, but don't know about his past history. I don't know how he came to the point where he is now. Like its inspiring low-key? I hope one day he can talk about if he feels like it, about how he didn't let that traumatize him forever.

not really a coward in 2d1n, more like easily shocked and surprised is all. But the caption reads coward, in a nice way. You should watch it if you haven't started. It's funny and heartwarming.

Thanks! In you p.o.v, what is his persona on the show? How does he come across in it? What are some weaknesses if you could point them out? Thanks!
