In a recent interview, Jang Hyuk expressed, "I don't think of TJ as a dark past. It was early 2000 at the time. It was a time when people could be flexible with their genres. I was given a lot of outsider roles as an actor. That's why I made a project album.

The handsome star added that TJ was simply a way to better his career as an actor, saying, "I filmed a couple music videos, and I wanted to make an image for myself as an actor. I looked at rap as lines in a drama. If I didn't star in it, the music video wouldn't air on TV. That's why I promoted for about a month. I wasn't even 1% serious about becoming a singer."
