The idol will be appearing on a new segment on MBC's 'Start! Video Journey', where radio DJs introduce films they enjoyed watching. During the filming, Jonghyun revealed that he has watched 'Your Name' three times already and cried each time, shedding tears a total of 7 times. 

He added, "When I watched it for the second time, I bawled during the narration part, 'Things I don't want to forget.' The tears were also spurred by the unique emotions and the music that came together in Makoto Shinkai's piece." 

Jonghyun has been a fan of animations since he was young, having learned quite a bit of Japanese by watching them. 'Star! Video Journey' with Jonghyun airs February 19 at 12:10 PM KST.
