Every EXO-L knows how hard Suho works and nothing shows that quite like his time spent as a trainee. Although he was excepted as a trainee with SM Entertainment when he was only 16 years old, he worked long and hard to debut.

During an episode of EXO 90:2014, Suho opened up about how hard it was for him and how lonely the wait to debut was.

I entered SM Entertainment as a trainee in 2005, around the time of Super Junior’s debut and I became close with Jonghyun and Taemin who were also trainees at the time. But they ended up debuting with SHINee first. I felt really lonely being left as the only trainee.

Amber: Me and Suho are Bros. He was known as the (hand action) guy/Oppa! And before I debut, Suho was one of the few people that explained to me about the cultural differences. I really appreciate whatever Suho did, Suho is awesome~ #SUHO @weareoneEXO
