Overseasidol.com — The8, also known as Xu Minghao of SEVENTEEN, recently went viral after sharing a surprisingly funny confession during a live stream.
Despite having seven years of driving experience overseas, he revealed that he failed the written driver’s license test after returning to his home country, China.
Xu Minghao explained that he walked into the exam with minimal preparation and an overly optimistic mindset.
He joked that he even wore thermal pants to the test and ended up being the first person to leave the exam room because he didn’t pass.
The unexpected contrast between his “experienced driver” image and the result immediately amused fans.
Rather than feeling upset, The8 admitted that the failure didn’t hurt his feelings at all.
He openly blamed himself, saying he relied too much on luck and underestimated the importance of studying.
Although he tried practicing some test questions, he confessed that he often fell asleep while reviewing them, leaving him unprepared on exam day.
Turning the awkward moment into a meaningful reflection, Xu Minghao shared that the experience reminded him how crucial preparation is in life.
He emphasized that even when opportunities come, they can easily slip away without proper effort.
Ending on a lighthearted note, he assured fans that he would take the next attempt seriously and prepare properly.
