'Entertainment Relay' sat down with Joo Won on the set of his photo shoot where the actor updated fans on his musical and movie. Hearing how he will be playing a high school student in 'Fashion King', the reporter asked, "How were you really like in high school?" Joo Won recalled, "During high school, my school uniform was very dirty because I only worked. Since I attended an arts high school, I used to make the sets for the performances like theatre and stages. I would wear my school uniform like a training suit and run in it and it would get lots of holes."

When asked, "It seems like you were very popular among the ladies then?" Joo Won humbly shared, "I wasn't that popular. Since it was an arts high school, there were a lot of handsome and pretty friends... It's not like I didn't have any popularity. I heard that the image of me working and sweating was very handsome."
