A special interview with ENHYPEN's Jungwon and Yamashita Tomohisa has been released. The drama 'Honest Real Estate,' which aired in 2022 and gained significant popularity, will have a sequel, 'Season 2,' produced in January 2024, and a spin-off special drama aired in February this year. This business comedy drama, which provides motivation for people living in modern times, is based on a popular manga serialized in Shogakukan's 'Big Comic' that has surpassed 4.15 million copies in circulation (manga by Akira Otani, original concept by Takeshi Natsuhara, script by Mitsuhiro Mizuno / 23 volumes published). The original concept by Takeshi Natsuhara of 'Kurosagi' focuses on the information disparity between clients and agents, delving into the dark side of the real estate industry. The story depicts real estate salesman Nagase Zaitsu (played by Yamashita Tomohisa), who, due to an unexpected incident, becomes unable to lie, and his junior colleague Tsukisaki Sakura (played by Haruka Fukuhara), as they struggle in the competitive real estate industry armed only with honesty and integrity. The film adaptation of 'Honest Real Estate' was finally released on May 15. In this interview, Yamashita and Jungwon discuss the background of the insert song 'Voice (feat. JUNGWON of ENHYPEN),' their impressions of each other, and their connection to the film. Yamashita expresses his desire for the song to be an 'all-affirming song' that encourages those who are lost, while Jungwon reflects on how the song can uplift many people, resonating with its message beyond language and cultural barriers. They also share their thoughts on each other's voices, praising their unique qualities. Jungwon enjoyed the film, initially thinking it would be difficult but finding it funny and healing. The two express their hopes for future collaborations and share light-hearted moments during the interview.
