Yoon Doojoon of Highlight revealed a funny tale about his time in the military!
While filming KBS 2TV's "Problem Child in the House," which will air on June 22, Yoon Doojoon talked about his military service experience, which ended this spring. When asked to reveal what made him truly happy after his comeback in April, he replied, "Food."
Then, Yoon Doojoon disclosed that throughout his service, food had occasionally been an unforeseen source of anxiety and stress for him. When asked when his appearance as a personality throughout his duty had seemed the most strained, the idol-turned-actor responded, "Mealtime."
He explained that since he had established an image of being such a compulsive foodie through his widely known K-drama, "Let's Eat," his comrades were eager to see him eat in real life. And their expectations were perhaps a bit on the high side.
Yoon Doojoon recounted, "I had been eating [in the mess hall] after getting our initial tasks, and everybody kept looking at me. I wasn't so starving at that time, so I was trying to pick my food, and eventually, I noticed that everybody was disappointed."
