Hello Nichkhun! How have you been lately? I've been good and happy balancing between work and quality time with my family and loved ones.

A very belated congratulations on 2PM's comeback! What was the preparation for the album like? It must have brought up so many fond memories from the past, having all those rehearsals and recording for music shows. After almost five years of waiting for all the members to finish their military service, it was like a dream come true for me to be able to drop a comeback album together. We had so much fun preparing for it and promoting it. It felt like we were never apart at all.

How has it been pursuing your newfound passion for acting? I've always been interested in acting, but while we were busy with 2PM's activities, I wanted to focus more on the group's work. So naturally, I pursue my acting career when I have time off from working on 2PM albums.

Most of the members in the group are accomplished actors as well. Do you guys share tips amongst yourselves? We respect each other's works so instead of sharing tips, we support each other.
