Musical actor Hong Kwang Ho admits he first judged Junsu for being an idol

The press conference for musical 'Death Note' took place on June 1 where musical actor Hong Kwang Ho talked about his co-star, JYJ's Junsu.  

He had nothing but compliments to say about Junsu as he stated, "His preparation was very thorough and his talents are a given.  When I said I was going to do this production, there were two characters, L and Light, and I heard one person would be played by Junsu, which made me think it'd be really fun to work with him.  I just put my spoon in there.  You'd also get goosebumps if you acted with him on stage."

However, he admitted to having judged Junsu first based on his idol origins, saying, "Honestly, I greeted him in the past when I went to see a performance of 'December.'  I met him for the first them then, but I do think I unknowingly was prejudiced because he was originally an idol singer.  However, after I saw his performance, I thought, 'He's no ordinary [singer].  He's not in that position for no reason.'  I'm happy that I get to work with him and have a lot of expectations."

Keep on proving you're more than an idol, Junsu!
