Junho of 2PM talked about Yoona from Girls' Generation, with whom he harmonized in the drama 'King the Land.' On the 5th, Junho appeared on the YouTube channel 'Fairy Jaehyun,' where he shared various episodes, including his new work 'Teppun Trading.' Jeong Jaehyun asked, 'After 'Red Sleeve Cuff,' 'King the Land' was also a great success. Your co-star was Yoona from Girls' Generation; both of you were idols, how was it?' Junho replied, 'It was strange. As part of the '2nd generation of K-POP,' we worked hard, and since we were both active in our respective groups at the same time, we spent time as friends who knew each other well. However, meeting as actors in a project felt completely different. When you do something with conviction, it felt like we were saying, 'You understand, right?' It wasn't a big deal, but we connected through our eyes.' Jeong Jaehyun commented, 'It feels like being in the military together,' to which Junho agreed, saying, 'It feels like that. It was like being friends and classmates who went to school together. We talked about this back then, saying, 'As actors from a singing background, let's create great works with a sense of responsibility and encourage each other,' which was an unspoken understanding.' Junho also added, 'I thought her sense of responsibility and the path she has steadily built up are wonderful, and I realized how far she has come. During 'King the Land,' we continued meetings with the director and Yoona for a long time, really working hard.'
