We did not look similar. And Jung Yong-hwa is much more handsome (Why don’t we have a drink some time?)

Jung Yong-hwa: I think that you made me feel comfortable from the beginning. Thank you! As a singer, it is the biggest charm to see responses from audience immediately as I sing or move for about two hours. As an actor, it is very tempting to live a life of another person. Regarding Southeast Asia.., how do I mention the popularity by myself? Thank you for always treating me kind.
