Who rejected SM Entertainment's auditions four times before the debut?!

The large talent agency SM Entertainment not only promotes many stunning artists and idols, but is also a well-known manufacturer of male and female gods. Every idol group produced by SM is like a quality assurance, attracting much attention from the outside world.

Taking stock of the groups SM has launched in the past, from H.O.T at the time to TVXQ who swept Japan, they pioneered the beginning of SM. Like Super Junior's Siwon, Girls' Generation's Yoona, f(x)'s Krystal, Red Velvet's Irene, and aespa's Karina, their exquisite looks have astonishingly captivated the public.

Of course, these are not the only groups. Some groups are even famous for their diverse looks, like EXO and NCT. It's quite difficult to rank them based on looks within the group, leading many fans to refer to these groups as "complete visual groups".

However, a recent post by a netizen stated that there was an idol in SM who had rejected SM's scouting offer four times, but still successfully debuted. This rare case has piqued public curiosity, wondering who made SM so relentless, doing everything possible to get him to debut.
