Lee Jung-jae said "I still can't believe it. What's this for 'sand clock'?' I think I spent it doing that. As I got older, I wanted to take my time, but I received a lot of love for 'view'. There was even a meme saying, "You got seaweed on you, handsome..."," he said with a smile.

I have to do it."

Lee Jung-jae said, `Even now, it is still at the edge of the cliff. There is also a scarier feeling because the cliff is a little higher. I'm also afraid, and there's a little hope that 'What kind of new world will approach if this goes well?'




At the same time, "I don't think I can do anything about it. My ability level is fixed. There are people who go beyond it, but I think it's impossible for me to go beyond it every time. It makes me feel at ease to admit it."
