Singer Kim Jae-joong revealed his long-standing friendship with Japan's popular singer and actress Mika Nakashima.
On the 29th, the YouTube channel 'Jae Friend' featured Nakashima, who directly introduced her connection with Kim Jae-joong.
That day, Nakashima said, 'I first met Kim Jae-joong on a music broadcast a long time ago,' adding, 'It has already been over ten years since we went out drinking and dining together.' In response, Kim Jae-joong remarked, 'We have kept in touch for over 10 years, but it’s relatively recent that we drank alone together,' and added, 'It hasn’t been long since we’ve met in private often.'
In particular, Nakashima mentioned Kim Jae-joong's 'unique way of contacting' that elicited laughter. He revealed, 'Around 10 p.m., he calls me via video chat without any warning, asking, 'What are you doing right now?' From my perspective as a woman, it is quite surprising, but he contacts me as if I were just a neighborhood aunt.' Additionally, he shared, 'Kim Jae-joong often suddenly asks, 'Are you not coming out when we’re all drinking?'' and conveyed his unpredictable Kim Jae-joong-style fellowship.
In response, Kim Jae-joong explained with a laugh, 'When someone like Mika Nakashima suddenly invites me and actually shows up, it feels strangely refreshing.'
On that day, Nakashima mentioned the most impressive Korean drama she had seen was the Netflix series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines.' When Kim Jae-joong asked if there was a Korean actor she thought was cool, she hesitated but replied without hesitation, 'It's IU. I want to see everything IU is in.' Kim Jae-joong also expressed, 'IU is truly versatile. She excels in singing, dancing, and acting,' showing his agreement.
