When the conversation turned to the prospect of dating a fellow celebrity, Lee Joon offered a firm perspective. He stated plainly that he would like to avoid dating someone who works in the same industry as much as possible

Jun Hyun-moo clarified that he shares opinions on casting based on program atmosphere and harmony.
