ZEROBASEONE’s Ricky has finally spoken up about his viral “airport photo” that left fans wondering why he braved the cold without a coat!

On March 13, a new episode of Kim Jaejoong’s YouTube show JaeFriends was uploaded, featuring ZEROBASEONE’s Sung Han Bin, Han Yu Jin, and Ricky as guests.

During the episode, Kim Jaejoong couldn’t hide his curiosity about Ricky. He said, “I really wanted to see him talk.”

Then, he brought up the famous airport moment, saying, “I’ve seen that picture so many times. But seriously, why do you go around like that?”—making everyone burst into laughter.

Ricky had previously gone viral when he was spotted at the airport last winter, wearing only a thin outfit while his fellow members bundled up in coats.

The sight of him casually walking through the freezing weather without outerwear had fans both shocked and amused.

Finally addressing the situation, Ricky said, “I’ve been wanting to explain that.” But before he could, Kim Jaejoong jokingly interrupted, “You’ll die like that.”

Ricky laughed and then explained, “There are heaters inside the airport, and it’s warm on the plane too, so that’s why.”

Kim Jaejoong wasn’t convinced and playfully scolded him, “Just wear a padded jacket in winter. Are you still trying to maintain your ‘cool’ image now?” Ricky admitted, “I’ve given up on that these days.”

Fans found the exchange hilarious, with many saying they’re relieved Ricky has finally learned his lesson!

2PM’s Lee Junho has officially ended his 17-year journey with JYP Entertainment, and fans can’t stop talking about his touching farewell gesture.

On April 15, photos began circulating online showing the special gift Junho prepared for all the JYP staff before officially leaving the agency.

In the photo, a heartfelt banner from Junho reads, “To the JYP family, I was happy because we were together. Thank you sincerely. From Lee Junho.”

Along with this message, Junho set up a cheesecake station at the company’s café — with a slice for each employee to take and enjoy.

That day marked Junho’s official departure from the company he first joined as a trainee, spending nearly two decades growing as a singer, actor, and all-around star.

Back on March 20, JYP had already announced the contract ending, saying, “After deep discussions, both sides have decided not to renew the contract. We sincerely thank Lee Junho for being part of the company’s growth and journey over the past 17 years.”

Junho also shared a warm message through the agency, “Thank you sincerely for the support given to me over the past 17 years. I will move forward while cherishing the relationships and support we’ve built during this long time together.”

Even though he’s officially left the agency, Junho’s activities in Japan will still be handled by JYP. “We will continue to manage his activities in Japan and will actively support future collaborations as needed,” the agency stated.

This sweet gesture isn’t the only thing that showed Junho’s character recently. On March 27, he donated 100 million KRW (around $75,000 USD) to World Vision, requesting that the funds go to support children and residents affected by the devastating wildfires in Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk.

Fans are now looking forward to Junho’s next chapter, with his appearances in Netflix’s new series “Cashero” and tvN’s “Typhoon Trading Company” lined up for this year.

From heartfelt goodbyes to generous donations, Junho is showing the world that he’s not just a talented artist — but also a genuinely kind soul.
