Singer Kim Jaejoong recalled an absurd dating rumor.

On the 22nd, a video titled "The Asian Young Master Who Caught Another Lock Disease After Just Recovering | EP10 | Jo Hyun-ah's Ordinary Thursday Night" was released on singer Jo Hyun-ah's YouTube channel, 'Jo Hyun-ah's Ordinary Thursday Night.'

The video featured Kim Jaejoong in a pose that seemed to indicate a relapse of lock disease. Jo Hyun-ah said, "I came like a rocker to cure your lock disease. I wish for a complete recovery." Kim Jaejoong expressed lock disease with a slouched pose and by resting his legs on the table, and he said, "In the past, it was very natural for me, but now it's hard because I'm trying to intentionally go back to that time."

Recently, Kim Jaejoong and Jo Hyun-ah met at a makgeolli event. Kim Jaejoong noted, "I said, 'If you can come with a light heart, please do,' but I felt pressure saying, 'If I don’t come here, I would be written in the Death Note and cut off.'" Jo Hyun-ah said, "It felt like Kim Jaejoong's solo wedding," and Kim Jaejoong laughed, saying, "About 67 people came. I thought they would all leave after the tasting session, but most of them came to the after-party." Jo Hyun-ah reported, "Someone called a taxi to ensure that nobody would get caught up with alcohol-related issues."

Jang Geun-seok and Lee Hong-gi also attended the event. Jo Hyun-ah remarked, "Three of us in one place?" and Kim Jaejoong responded, "We've never shown the three of us together until now. If we combine our activity periods, it’s almost 100 years." Jo Hyun-ah said, "I was curious about what would happen if the three of us went to Japan. I wondered if we could enter and exit. It was amazing to see that combination in front of me."

Jo Hyun-ah commented, "Kim Jaejoong has a textbook-like face." Kim Jaejoong explained, "There are two types of idol standards: the handsome standard and the unique standard, and I fall under the unique standard, which means individuality and charm. I don’t have a face that looks typically handsome, but I can show my individuality as an idol in my appropriate appearance."

In particular, Kim Jaejoong also mentioned his popularity in Japan. He said, "I can wander around Shibuya, but I get photographed. I have the ability to hide my aura. My habit of walking with my shoulders up has been corrected since fans know that. I haven't been to a club in nine years, and it’s been a while since I've been to Don Quijote. Recently, I went to Don Quijote but bought very little so I couldn’t receive tax exemption. In Korea, I wouldn’t be embarrassed shopping at a market, but it’s very embarrassing to get caught wandering in Don Quijote in Japan."

Kim Jaejoong continued, "If I were to get a girlfriend, there would be a decline in my popularity in Japan. However, it seems like such a dating rumor wouldn’t have a significant impact. I’ve never had a dating rumor until now," he said, "but there was a forced dating rumor titled, 'Kim Jaejoong Kissing at a Bar.' Then I remembered when I saw the magazine. There were customers seated at the bar, and beside me, there was a customer in his late 40s with a small Chihuahua, and I kissed that dog. It got twisted into that rumor."

Kim Jaejoong also clarified, "I heard that I dated someone while linking arms in the middle of Shibuya. Famous restaurants probably have many celebrities visiting. At that time, there weren’t many Korean restaurants in Shibuya. I ate at that Korean restaurant and came out, while other celebrities came out an hour apart. When mentioning actual names, people believe it. I’m not sure about that linking arms; I was in my car."
