On the 27th broadcast of MBC's 'All-knowing Obtrusive Perspective', ballad singer K.will appeared as a guest and shared his recent updates. A certain portrait in K.will's home caught attention and elicited laughter. A portrait of K.will painted by Jung Hyun-moo was displayed in the house. Upon seeing this, the cast showed interest in the special friendship between the two. When Yang Se-hyung asked, 'Do you usually spend time closely together?', Jung Hyun-moo humorously replied, 'I couldn't get married. I'm an only child,' drawing laughter. Jung Hyun-moo self-deprecatingly said, 'I have a big face and I'm not popular,' to which K.will responded, 'This face has to sing,' making everyone laugh again. K.will's manager shared another side of him, revealing, 'When he goes to music programs, he asks for all the signed CDs and stacks them up for storage,' adding, 'He's a complete maximalist. Even though his house is spacious and he has many belongings, he can't throw things away, and it's overflowing.' Jung Hyun-moo empathized, saying, 'We both have a lot of material desires,' and Song Woo-ni nodded in agreement. Later, while organizing albums, K.will came across albums from BTS, IU, and IZ*ONE. He particularly smiled while reading a message from Wonyoung, who is now active as IVE, in the IZ*ONE album: 'I'm truly honored to give this album to my senior. I will work hard from now on.'
