[talk] Advice to Jeong Dong-won: “Read a book”… “It’s also a great help in writing lyrics”

Lim Young-woong asked again, “What do you do for a living? Is there anything you want to do?” but Jeong Dong-won said, “I can only do it when I’m twenty,” revealing that it was difficult to find fun right away.

Lim Young-woong encouraged his juniors to read books, sharing his own experience of first encountering a book during his military service. He emphasized that reading books was a great help in writing lyrics and creating music, saying, “Nowadays, we have cell phones so we can do anything, but back then, I had nothing to do when I had free time, so I started reading books.”

Lim Young-woong then advised, “You should definitely read at least a few books when you go to the military,” and added, “I go to a cafe almost every day and have an hour of time alone. During that time, I developed the habit of writing lyrics while focusing solely on myself, whether I read a book or use my phone. That kind of time for self-immersion is necessary.”

I think this is really good advice.

I'm at an age where I have a lot of worries, but I'm being realistic like this.

If you could give me some advice, that would be great~ hehehe

They both looked so good together!
