sunggyu
Infinite
member Sungkyu has been revealed as the nephew of his agency’s CEO, Lee Jong Yeop.

This was revealed by the Woollim Entertainment CEO after Infinite’s showcase on May 21, after having kept it a secret up until now. Sungkyu said, “I became a part of Infinite after auditions and various tests of ability and talent. However, it’s not that there was no connection there.”

In related news, Sunny of Girls’ Generation is also well-known as the niece of SM’s Lee Soo Man.

Infinite, after releasing their second album “Season 2” on May 21, has wrapped up with their three-day three-country showcase held in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea, and will be starting with broadcast promotions soon.

 wtf. I'm really surprised. He is talented and I love him so I'm not even mad, but now I'm wondering if he was really "discovered".

I'm super surprised tbh since we've heard predebut stories about him that would not lead him to being related to their CEO...though, it's not like he isn't talented so....not mad

I ain't even bothered. Sungkyu is a really talented vocalist and I think he does well in his role as a leader. Shrug

Nepotism? In Asia??? I'm shocked.

So what if he wasn't discovered, it's not like he doesn't have the talent to back it up. Like, when you find out, it's not like you immediately think "Oh, so that's how he got into an idol group" because there was no other way he could've made it.

Since the source seems shady I won't quite believe it.
The main thing about this is that he's said before on variety and such that he came from the bottom to get his place as an idol, working as a waiter to support himself while doing auditions trying to get discovered, so if this is uncle thing true it's just bleh that they built his image as someone who was against odds trying to make his dream happen. Not saying he doesn't deserve it, because he definitely does (and omg infinite's performance last night --- gyu nailed it. he never fails to impress me).
And again, the source for this news is really shady so

who cares. sunggyu still has the best voice not only in kpop, but in any genre. it doesn't matter what helped him get in the door.

my bias is still the best :)

Yuuuuuuuussssssssssss! I love Sungyu's voice! He slays me every time he sings! XD

And as usual, I loooooovvvvvveeeeeeeee your icon *O* Gyu!oppa is so cute :3

From: [identity profile] aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com
Even though Sunggyu is my bias, he's still very talented and a competent leader. At the end of the day, him being related to the CEO doesn't change anything because he's still got enough talent to back up his position in the group.

this isn't true lol sunggyu said their relationship was "uncle-nephew like", not that they're actually uncle and nephew. kfans are all laughing at the original post, don't believe anything that comes from that news site.

It's all about connections and networking. If I had a smidgen of talent and an uncle in the right place....I wouldn't pass that up. Also,I'd be ticked off if uncle didn't give me a push/chance.

*shrug* Talented with connections-bonus.

From: [identity profile] swhyeon1991.livejournal.com
I know ppl said this isn't true, but if it is then:
1) It makes me judge the CEO even harder then, when he only told Sunggyu to eat a hamburger when he fainted during OGS.
2) It would be funny if the Group A rumor is about Infinite and he's gonna sue his uncle lol.
