Acting
editIn 2012, Sangchu had a cameo role as a 'muscle boy' student in the K-drama To the Beautiful You, in a bathroom scene with the lead role played by Sulli who was disguised as a boy.[10]
In 2014, Shorry J had his first acting role in a K-drama, Triangle, as a gang member and friend of the lead role played by Kim Jae-joong.[11] In April 2016, he portrayed a skilled pickpocket in the historical K-drama The Flower in Prison.[12]
Controversies
editSangchu was under investigation for allegedly visiting a massage parlour, famous for prostitution, whilst on military duty[13][unreliable source?] on June 22, 2013, alongside Se7en. It was decided that they broke curfew trying to get massages. They allegedly visited several parlors that were closed before they found one that was open late. They left once they realized that it was a parlor for prostitution. Both received ten days in military jail for their actions.[citation needed]
