2PM member and actor Lee Jun Ho opened up about why he took the director position at JYP Entertainment.

On September 24, he appeared as a guest on the web show 'Salon Drip 2.' When asked how he became the External Cooperation Director at JYP, Lee Jun Ho explained, “It’s been a while since I got this title. I asked for it when I re-signed for the second time in 2018.”

Jang Do Yeon was surprised and asked, “Do they just give it to you if you ask?” Lee Jun Ho replied, “I wanted to be a better role model for my juniors.”

He continued, “In reality, we are the most senior artists at JYP. The company also said, ‘We hope you all stay well and serve as good examples,’ and I wanted to do that too. That’s how I ended up with the title of External Cooperation Director, but I don’t receive a director's salary.”

Lee Jun Ho, who mentioned he even had business cards made in the past, humorously added, “I received it quite a while ago, so I don’t know where it is now, but I also asked for it. I thought I should at least have that feeling.”

IVE's Ahn Yujin just shared a sweet story about her friendship with aespa's Karina, and fans are loving the adorable details!

On January 28, Ahn Yujin appeared on Salon Drip 2 and got candid about how her friendship with Karina began.

During the show, Jang Do Yeon asked Ahn Yujin if she had ever talked to Karina, who is also a leader, about the struggles of being in charge after they performed on stage together.

Ahn Yujin revealed, “I’ve wanted to get closer to Karina for a while. I’ve focused on just becoming friends, so we didn’t really talk deeply yet, but I want to ask her more about it. Our teams are very different, but they’re all so amazing!”

When asked how she approached Karina, Ahn Yujin shyly admitted, “The first time we met was through a challenge. Karina’s team wanted to take photos with me, and I made sure to dress nicely. I was so nervous!"

She added, "I had two things I wanted to ask: ‘Can I call you unnie?’ and ‘Can I get your number?’ But I couldn’t bring myself to do it because there were just too many things on my mind. I wanted to talk well, dance well, and look good on camera.”

Ahn Yujin then explained that after a collaboration stage offer came up, she thought of Karina and even got her number through a mutual acquaintance. But, worried about making Karina feel uncomfortable, Ahn Yujin didn’t contact her right away. Instead, she waited until Karina contacted her first!

Ahn Yujin shared, “I heard Karina was talking about me, so I thought I should contact her. But then, she contacted me first,” looking genuinely touched. Jang Do Yeon teased, “You both are so cute! Are you getting close now?”

With a bright smile, Ahn Yujin responded, “Yes! We’ve decided to have a meal together soon.” She also thanked Karina for being so kind, especially when Karina texted her after practice, saying she had worked hard.

Ahn Yujin revealed, “Lately, I keep asking her if it’s okay to post pictures of us on social media,” showing just how strong their growing friendship is.
