On the 14th, JUNHO posted on his YouTube channel, "Lee Junho Lee Junho," "[Taepyeong Home Video
#2] We have posted a video titled "Upstreet Boys - Practice Room Tape, Full Stage Performance Revealed."
JUNHO is currently playing the lead role of Kang Tae-poong in tvN's new Saturday and Sunday TV series "Tae-poong Company."
In episode 1, which aired last week, Taepoong and his friends formed a group known as the "Upstreet Boys" in Apgujeong.
To film the scene, JUNHO, Kim Min Seok, and others gathered in a practice room to loosen up and then dance with dancer J.
BLACK and JUNHO began practicing the choreography. "We came to practice for the club dance scene that appears in EP1. The Upstreet Boys gave us the feeling that 'Here we come.'
JUNHO, who was in charge of the choreography for the group dance scene with five members and the duet with Nammo (Kim MinSeok), said,
However, with the exception of Junho, a former member of 2PM and an idol with a long career, the other actors struggled.
JUNHO said, "To be honest, I've never danced with such a rigid routine in a production before, but I prepared for the stage.
It's difficult for me too. I can't produce the same energy as the teacher." JUNHO had an additional meeting with the production team to create a good performance, and asked, "What if we had a richer sound than we do now?"
He actively gave his opinions and played music while testing. J BLACK said, "I can understand it when I hear the technical explanation."
BLACK had to leave early due to other schedules, so JUNHO took on the role of choreographer and led the members.
JUNHO quickly learned the entire choreography, giving detailed advice on things like arm movements and organizing the overall framework.
JUNHO watched from afar and checked the members' choreography, while Kim Min Seok
"I don't know, I don't know... I can't do it without you," he confessed. The director of "Taepyeong Corporation" who saw this said, "I need choreography fees now (to pay Junho), so why did you only see it once?
So you know that?" he exclaimed in admiration. JUNHO responded with a laugh, "Well, I've been an idol with 2PM for 20 years."
Meanwhile, during the 1997 IMF economic crisis, Daepoong Trading Co., Ltd. became the president of a trading company with no employees, no money, and nothing to sell.
The drama depicts the struggles and growth of Kang Tae-poong (JUNHO), a rookie trading company employee. The viewership ratings for episode 1 were 5.9% nationwide, with a peak of 7.1%, and 5.7% in the capital area, with a peak of 7.1%.
