He recalled his tears of happiness in his interview with 'The Star'. Jun.K landed the cover of 'The Star's June issue and showed his love for music as a talented singer-songwriter in the pictorial.

Jun.K shared his feelings about achieving #1, "When I heard that I was #1 in Japan, I cried. The feeling was different somehow. I've really been running [towards my dream] without rest since last December. I am normally a perfectionist, but I even think that my perfectionism went a bit overboard this time [laughs]. Fortunately, it led to good results, and I am sorry and thankful to everyone who helped me."

When asked to give himself a score as an artist, he graded himself, "I think I'm 5 points out of 10. I feel like I should be a bit more shrewd... Only working hard doesn't always lead to success, but there is a need to exchange thoughts with the hardworking people beside me and to clearly communicate what I want to do."
