the survival show trainee who needs a breakdown to function?

Saw someone familiar hiding in the fire exit at the studio tonight. Green silk jacket, messy hair, looking like he just finished a 10-hour dance block. He was literally trembling until he grabbed a staffer's hand and just... started breathing with them. No camera, no PD, just him looking like he was about to shatter. Is this the same guy who's been flirting with the lens all week?

Is he being manipulative or is he actually struggling? You can't tell with these idols.

Reply to not_a_fan_yet： Having worked on set, he's just wired differently. He needs the physical grounding.

That’s definitely . He’s been acting so confident in every broadcast, this is wild to see.

Reply to trainee_stan_x： Wait, is this the one who always messes with his collar before a take? It finally makes sense.

I wonder if he ever actually sleeps or if he just waits for the next take.

He's terrifyingly good on stage. If this is his 'breakdown' mode, I wonder what his actual thoughts are.

Does he always go to the fire escape? I want to know if he's okay.

I heard he’s fighting for the center spot with Minho. This stress has to be insane.

Poor guy. He looks like he hasn't eaten in days.

I've seen him at every practice. He doesn't sleep. He’s always the last one out.
