Junsu (Xia), who lives in a luxury apartment worth over 8.9 billion yen, the reason for his extravagance? ”Even though my income has improved... I didn't like the pitiful looks I got” (convenience store restaurant)

Jaejoong and Junsu are the talk of the town for appearing together on terrestrial broadcasting for the first time in 15 years.

On KBS2TV's ‘New Product Launch - Convenience Store Restaurant’ broadcast on the 18th in Korea, the sincere story of Jaejoong, the heart of Asia, and Junsu, the star of Asia, was revealed. The two met when they were teenagers dreaming of becoming singers, and before they knew it, they have shared joys, sorrows, happiness and trials together for 23 years. Their tenacious friendship, in which they are truly fortunate to have each other, presented an emotional and surprising surprise to the Friday night tea room.

On this day, Jaejoong invited Junsu to his parents' house where his parents live. It was for his parents, who wanted to see Junsu for the first time in a long time, and also because he wanted to feed him delicious food directly to Junsu, who is like his own brother.

Over the feast, the two exchanged stories about the past, present and future. The group's activities (Tohoshinki) were so dizzyingly busy that they had to digest their schedules in both Korea and Japan in half a day and rent a chartered plane for the recording of one programme. Junsu said, "Now I think that we were very popular. I didn't understand it back then", he recalled. Jaejoong responded, "I don't want to hide the stories of my past group activities. There were tough times, but there were also good times."

The two also mentioned the ups and downs they experienced after leaving SM Entertainment. Jaejoong said, "I didn't realise how hard it would be to appear on air." In response, Junsu confided that he cried when he saw Jaejoong's performance in ‘Convenience Store Restaurant’. He added "The earnings were much better, but there were people who looked at us with pity. So we wanted to show that our choice wasn't wrong, and it seems we even went a bit extravagant."

The two also showed their filial piety by saying, "I was most full of heart when I gave my parents a house." Jaejoong, who knows Junsu's seriousness better than anyone else, smiled as he said, "You grew up well."

Junsu said of Jaejoong, "The only person I can rely on. A role model." That he is the only person I can confide all my stories to. It was also possible to hear their impromptu harmony as they prepare for their first concert together in a long time. The two singing ‘I Believe (Midoyo)’ together was a hot emotional moment.

Finally, Jaejoong told Junsu: "I've known you for 23 years and I've done well until now. Let's not experience even bigger waves in the future." Jaejoong also vowed to Junsu, "Let's keep it flat and forever." The two's deep friendship was felt just as it was.

Meanwhile, KBS2TV's ‘New Product Launch - Convenience Store Restaurant’ airs every Friday at 8:30pm in Korea.
