Former K-pop star Lai Kuanlin revealed his new life as a film director in China, sharing his reflections on his past idol career during a reality show reunion with his former bandmate. On the Mnet broadcast of “Wanna One Go: Back to Base” that aired Tuesday, Lai reunited with Ha Sung-woon in Beijing. Meeting for the first time in about seven years since their activities with K-pop project group Wanna One, the two visited a restaurant to catch up. Lai quit his K-pop career and now works at a Chinese film production company. “I joined a Chinese film production company. I am working an office job. I learn about scripts and mainly work on short films,” Lai said. “Because I am an office worker, it gives me peace of mind.” Expressing deep satisfaction with his post-idol life, Lai emphasized his preference for steady progress. “I like right now so much. I like the way I’m moving forward slowly,” he said. “Not that kind of feeling of becoming a singer too fast, but I like my slow but steady progress while putting in effort.” Other Wanna One members, watching the reunion through a video recording,
