When I played baseball, he came to the baseball stadium and supported me and at the time of this album work, he encouraged me and brought food for me at dawn even when he was having serious days for his musical performance. My younger brother said to me that he likes it when people say to him, 'your older brother is more handsome than you'. He wishes my success more than anyone. 'What is Junsu to me?' He is my mental support and also my senior in the entertainment world."
