On the 1st of this month, 2PM's Junho mentioned Taecyeon's marriage. An interview with Junho, who starred in the tvN weekend drama 'Teppun Trading Company,' took place at a cafe in Seongdong, Seoul. 'Teppun Trading Company,' which ended broadcasting in Korea on the 30th of last month, depicts the struggles and growth of a rookie trading company employee, Kang Teppun, who became the president of a trading company with no employees, money, or products during the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Junho passionately played the role of Kang Teppun, who suddenly became the family's breadwinner and a rookie president in his 20s, brilliantly portraying the growth of youth and captivating viewers with his excellent expressiveness and acting skills. In particular, Junho has recorded three consecutive hits with MBC's 'Red Sleeve Cuff,' JTBC's 'King the Land,' and tvN's 'Teppun Trading Company,' establishing his position as a 'reliable actor.' This year, he left JYP Entertainment, where he had been since 2PM's debut, and established his personal agency, O3 Collective. He is also busy preparing for the release of the Netflix series 'CASHERO' and holding fan meetings. He expressed, 'I am really happy. Honestly, I think about how grateful it is to have works to shoot. Every time I take on a new challenge as an actor, I can create new characters, which is fun. I truly enjoy being given such opportunities and hope it continues for a lifetime.' When asked if he experiences burnout, he replied, 'Rather than burnout, I just feel a bit more tired than before (laughs). I think I might be a little tired lately. If I think, 'I might be experiencing burnout now,' it might really happen, so even if I'm a bit tired, I just think, 'What’s wrong? I seem to be a little tired.' He described it as 'a good kind of madness,' eliciting laughter. Currently, Junho prioritizes work over romance. Recently, member Taecyeon announced his marriage next spring, becoming the second married member of the group. Although Junho is focused on work and has no thoughts about dating or marriage, he stated, 'If the situation naturally aligns, I am ready to welcome it (laughs). Seeing many actors and colleagues around me living happy lives, I want to support them.' He reflected, 'I didn't even realize that 18 years have passed since my debut while being immersed in work. I thought, 'Wow, 18 years have passed before I knew it.' I need to be cautious as it’s not my story, but I think it's good to see such things happening around me.'
