Lee Joon reveals he started dancing after almost going blind as a child

Lee Joon revealed he started dancing after almost going blind as a child.

On this week's installment of the YouTube series 'ZIP Daesung', Lee Joon opened up about a story from his past. He expressed, "When I was younger, bb guns became popular. I got a bullet in my eye while playing a war game. My eyes turned red with tears of blood, and I saw nothing."

Lee Joon further revealed he couldn't even walk for a month due to eye pressure, saying, "I was lying down with an eye mask, and I couldn't even go to the bathroom." He added, "I was diagnosed with blindness, so I kept listening to the radio. That was when I became a huge fan of H.O.T, Fin.K.L, and Sechskies. After I received treatment, I got up and saw them perform. They were so cool. That's when I started dancing."

'ZIP Daesung' host Daesung replied, "You became a singer because of that bullet. If it didn't get in your eye, would you have listened to the radio so focused?"
