SMTOWN artists were featured on a special episode of Come to Play, and during this episode, they revealed who the top trainees were back in the day.

The unanimous answers were DBSK’s Changmin and Super Junior’s Siwon and Shindong. Leeteuk explained that top quality trainees made other trainees feel pressure and rivalry since these trainees could well take their spots. Changmin not only was a model student (straight A), but he bore a resemblance to Kangta, while Siwon was also known for his good looks. (I would’ve thought Siwon looked more like Kangta.)

And Shindong’s size apparently scared everyone into thinking that he’d have explosive and deep vocals, which brought laughter in the studio. Shindong also revealed that because of his figure, he wasn’t allowed to stand in the middle for fear of making his members look “rounder”.

Poor Shindong. But hey, his dancing is amazing! My mom has always been amazed of his dancing because of his figure.
