Koyotae member Pakga shared an anecdote about how he considered leaving the group in the past.
On the May 31 episode of MBC's "Sora and Jinkyung," Pakga appeared as a special guest and reminisced about his time as a model. "I was a model for about two years before I joined Koyotae," he said, "I did fashion magazine photo shoots and walked the runway of SFAA Seoul Collection, the predecessor of Seoul Fashion Week. I was very lucky."
"I continued to work on my photography while doing Koyotae, but I had artist's disease at the time," he said. "I had a strong feeling of 'I am an artist' while immersing myself in photography, so I tried to quit Koyotae."
"I went to Paris, and I felt like I had to live there," he said, adding, "I only listened to jazz and bossa nova, but in real life, it was too painful to go on stage and perform dance songs, so I told the members, 'I can't do Koyotae.
"I had already gotten a visa to go to Paris and was ready to go," he said, adding, "When I told them I was quitting, they offered to pay me more money." "Shinji had four, me and Jongmin had three. How could I not, so I didn't go (to Paris)," he added.
Meanwhile, Pakga debuted in 2004 with Koyotae's 6th album and has been active in various fields such as a photographer and businessman alongside his singing career.
