After the show aired, Julius Liu posted on Weibo and reminisced his time training at JYP with other trainees like Taecyeon and Nichkun. He wrote, “Since 2005 until now, I’ve debuted for 15 years. I have traveled to many places, left my hometown, and also went on small and big stages, but I haven’t really felt the light shining on my body.
Prior to joining “Shine! Super Brothers”, I was very conflicted. I was worried if I still had the strength to stand up on stage again and seriously sing and dance. I doubted whether I could still be accepted by the audience now. I also constantly questioned myself whether I still had those goals and ambitions I once had…but in the end, I still came.
Just like the message I gained when I was training at JYP, I hope to become a ‘superstar’. This wish has never changed. It’s just that now, I hope to become more of the ‘superstar’ in my mind. Not just chasing after the light, but also become a person who can have a unique light.”
