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.”
