Jo Se Ho also asked Changmin the same question, and the TVXQ member replied that he was 16 and that he didn't train for very long. "I trained for around a year," Changmin said.
TXT Beomgyu then asked TVXQ Changmin if he was placed in the debut lineup immediately, and Changmin confirmed, "Pretty much, yes." And, Beomgyu said the same thing happened to him.
However, Beomgyu went on to share that he told the company he wouldn't want to debut in TXT when he was included in the debut lineup. When asked why, he explained that becoming an idol wasn't originally his plan. "I originally played guitar, so I was determined to become a member of a band at all cost," he stated.

TXT Beomgyu continued that because the chance to become a trainee came his way, he thought that since things turned out like that for him, he should work hard. "But then, they suddenly said I was going to be in the debut lineup," he added.
In the end, Beomgyu changed his mind and he ultimately made his debut as a TXT member in 2019. He acts as the center and visual of the boy group.
