In a surprising revelation during a recent YouTube video, Dex, known from the hit show Single’s Inferno and under the name Kim Jin Young, opened up about his future plans that caught fans off guard. While enjoying a day of hiking and sketching on the channel Life84, hosted by Kian84, he candidly shared his thoughts on stepping away from the spotlight.
The video, released on May 23, featured actress Ji Ye Eun alongside Dex, and what started as a light-hearted outing quickly turned into a heartfelt discussion. As the trio took a break from their hike, he reflected on the intensity of his recent work life.
“I’ve been working really hard lately, but the way I see work has changed. Back then, the sudden lifestyle change made every day feel like a struggle. I was probably the fastest burnout in history,” he admitted, sounding both introspective and relieved to express this shift in perspective.
In an unexpected twist, Dex revealed an intriguing backup career plan that suggests he’s already looking beyond his current role in the entertainment industry.
“Even if everything crashes tomorrow, I’ve got a plan. I’m preparing to become a firefighter. I needed a bold exit strategy to remind myself that this isn’t my whole life. That doesn’t mean I’m not giving my all — I’ll pour everything into this and leave with no regrets.”
This candid moment left fans buzzing about what might come next for Dex, as it seems he’s forging a new path for himself while embracing the current one. Will he transition successfully into the world of firefighting? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: Dex is ready for whatever the future holds.
