U-Know, who has been in the industry for 20 years, gave a wake-up call to KPOP: We are not singing machines!

On the 12th, the singer and actor U-Know Yunho appeared on the OPEN INTERVIEW of NEWS A, aired by Channel A in the evening. Yunho confidently spoke in the interview.

Yunho recently returned with his SOLO album "Reality Show" and new song "Vuja De". Since debuting with TVXQ in 2003, he is quietly approaching his 20th anniversary.

Yunho, who has been in the industry for nearly 20 years, mentioned his feelings in an interview, "This year feels like a coming-of-age ceremony", and added, "It can't be expressed in a single sentence", revealing his inner excitement.

Yunho's practice for his new song's choreography was also revealed in the interview. Yunho explained his practice regimen, "During practice, I need to memorize the entire choreography. It usually takes about 6-8 hours."

Yunho then mentioned, "For me, the practice room is not a comfortable place, I feel more comfortable on stage. I am a person who is strict with myself, I will practice hard to develop myself into a habit."

When asked about the current state of KPOP after 20 years of Korean Wave, Yunho said, "Just as everyone mentions K knife group dance, it has had a lot of influence. Now is the time to have a sense of responsibility for K content. Culture is developing, and it requires a stable system. We are not singing machines, are we?"

Yunho started his trainee life when he was in high school, and was even jokingly called the discipline monitor. When Yunho was asked who he felt sorry for, he replied that it was his teammate Changmin. "Because he successfully passed the audition and joined the company, and debuted not long after starting practice. He looks like a prince and this probably makes me feel a bit inferior, so I once coldly told him 'If you don't practice well, you should leave quickly', but he is actually more talented than me."

Editor: It's really not easy to stay this active and dedicated after 20 years in the industry!!
