BTOB's Lee Chang-sub Reveals His Nun Aunt's Reasons for Becoming a Monk

BTOB's Lee Chang-sub released a video on his YouTube channel 'Lee Chang-sub & Jeo Chang-sub' featuring his aunt, Seonjae Snim, a Buddhist nun. Lee humorously called her his 'biggest power in the entertainment industry' and explained their 5th-degree family relationship (his maternal grandmother's brother's daughter). Seonjae Snim gained attention after appearing on Netflix's 'Black and White Cooking 2' last year. Lee revealed that his entire family is Christian, and that Seonjae Snim was originally Christian as well. During a training session at Yongju Temple, Seonjae Snim was moved by a lecture on filial piety that emphasized the highest form of respect is helping parents achieve enlightenment by releasing their attachments. Although her father initially opposed her decision, he eventually approved it after realizing that her birth dream, where he dreamed of a dragon, had come true—her becoming a monk.
