2PM Jang Woo-young, who was 'opposition to challenge', is shaking thanks to the members of 'Doriver'.

Jang Woo-young recently met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Gangnam, Seoul, and the members and production team of `Doriver' told me, `The 2nd 2PM members.'

Jang Woo-young, who returned with his new mini-album I'm Into after 7 years and 5 months, will be on the music show stage with active junior idols. However, the changed music broadcasting culture is still unfamiliar to him, who laid the foundation for global K-pop. This is especially true these days when short videos and challenges have become essential elements of music broadcasting.




In fact, Woo-young Jang already experienced the challenge culture through her digital single 'Simple Dance' activity in July. He laughed "I wanted to do an anti-challenge campaign, but I was also doing it hard."

He said "I'll do my best, but if I still feel like doing it, I'd like to request it. There will be a process between the company and the company, but you want to dance this one. I think we'll have to feel that at least to do a challenge."

Then "I feel like everything is exhausting these days. The challenge is good for the fans and good for marketing, but I think I will be satisfied even if I hear the old man with this level of conviction. He expressed his honest intentions toward the music broadcasting culture these days.

Ironically, the regular Netflix original entertainment show 'Driver: Finding the Lost Screw' (hereinafter 'Driver') members are more passionate about Jang Woo-young's new song 'Sync to Much' challenge than anyone else. Jang Woo-young said "That's the problem, but (Hong) Jin-kyung wants it so much. My sister asked me to cast a choreographer and make time for the practice room. I was so thankful. When I ask the members of 'Doriver', they immediately give me feedback saying 'What should I do' with a smile.

Jang Woo-young's affection for the actual 'Doriver' is different. From KBS2 'Hong Kim Dong-jeon' in 2022 to 'Doriver' which came back in February, he is acting as a cute youngest child loved by his sisters and brothers. Jang Woo-young is a place to go to relieve stress. It's so hard when I'm filmingEven if I go, I go home smiling like a possessed person when I'm done," he said, expressing his sincerity about the program.

The members and producers of "Hong Kim Dong-jeon"Hong Kim Dong-jeon"Doriver" are like the second 2PM. I think they're the ones who helped me up when I was sitting down"He expressed extraordinary affection, saying, "There, you can talk recklessly and show an image that can be damaged, but you can give vague pleasure and laughter to the viewers."




Also "It was an entertainment show I thought of. From the first time I received the two-page plan, the entertainment I thought of came true. I gained a lot of courage and confidence while doing this program. It's still like that. The members found me funny no matter what I do, and I gained a lot of confidence," he added.

Jang Woo-young's 3rd mini album 'I'm Into' will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 15th.
