Tours members Dohoon and Youngjae recently shared their casting stories, capturing the audience's attention.
On comedian Kim Dae-hee's YouTube channel 'Kkondaehee,' a video titled 'A Meal with Tours' Dohoon and Youngjae, Back with a New Album' was uploaded.
In the video, Dohoon and Youngjae appeared as guests, drawing interest. Kim Dae-hee asked them how they debuted. Dohoon shared, "It was 2018 when I was in my first year of middle school. During my elementary school graduation, someone asked if I was with a company while I was wearing a white long padded coat."
Dohoon continued, "It wasn't the current company, but I gave them my number. Since my school was close to home, I ran home to tell my mom, 'I got cast,' but she asked if I received a business card. I hadn't, so I was just someone who gave out my number."
Dohoon added, "Feeling down, I returned to the graduation. As it ended, someone else approached me, and it was the current company. This time, I made sure to get a business card."
He further explained, "The person emphasized that 'Seventeen is in the company,' which made me think 'that's great,' and I decided to join."
Meanwhile, Youngjae shared, "I joined at 16 through an Instagram DM casting." When asked if he received DMs from multiple companies, Youngjae replied, "I received casting offers from several places but chose this company after some consideration."
