Kim Jae Joong, looking back on his 20-year career, shared thoughts about his former TVXQ members in a recent interview with Sports Chosun. “I keep in touch with Junsu,” Kim said. “One member is going through a tough time, but I hope they are all living well.”
Kim Jae Joong debuted in December 2003 as a member of TVXQ, a group that dominated the K-pop scene with hits like “Mirotic” and “Hug.” Despite the group’s split in 2009 following a lawsuit against SM Entertainment by Kim Jae Joong, Kim Junsu, and Park Yoo Chun, TVXQ’s global popularity remains significant.
During the interview, Kim Jae Joong was asked about his current relationship with his former bandmates. “I only communicate with Junsu,” he shared. “We keep in touch regularly, and I’m proud of him. Honestly, I believe what all the members want is for everyone to live well. Them living healthily and happily is enough for me.”
He acknowledged one particular member’s complicated situation, briefly adding, “But I am doing my best.”
Reflecting on his 20 years in the entertainment industry, Kim Jae Joong shared his philosophy: “In terms of my life, I don’t like using pencils. Instead of erasing mistakes, I prefer writing with a pen and covering it with white-out. Then I’ll write something on top of that.”
He elaborated, “Even if there are mistakes or accidents in the past, I believe you can’t erase them. I see it as building on top of those experiences. You just have to create good memories over them and learn from those experiences to become a better person.”
Kim Jae Joong’s 20th-anniversary album, Flower Garden, will be released on various music platforms on June 26th at 6 PM KST. Fans eagerly await this milestone album from the seasoned artist.
