2AM’s Jo Kwon has cherished a moment capturing his reunion with Sunye, highlighting a friendship built over many years. 

Under the quiet lights of a backstage waiting room, the two stood shoulder to shoulder, creating a scene where past and present overlapped. Many commented that the excitement of performing together again with a longtime colleague could be felt clearly in their expressions.

The two are seen together preparing for their joint concert, 'Sunye & Jo Kwon: RE:UNITED Concert,' held in Gangneung on November 29 KST. In the revealed photo, Jo Kwon stands in front of the waiting room mirror, taking a selfie with his smartphone.

Jo Kwon's neatly styled black hair clearly revealed his forehead and eyes, and he paired a calm-toned long-sleeved top with a gray inner layer. With one hand in his pocket, a relaxed posture, a slightly tilted head, and a gentle smile, he conveyed a sense of easy warmth.

Beside him, former Wonder Girls member Sunye stands smiling toward the camera. Her long, subtly wavy hair flowed naturally, adding soft volume that emphasized her mature charm. She layered a glossy dark leather long coat over a white knit top, pairing it with black shorts to complete a chic look. Leaning slightly toward Jo Kwon, her posture conveyed the deep trust between longtime friends and colleagues, while her relaxed smile suggested anticipation rather than nerves ahead of performing.

Jo Kwon accompanied the photo with the caption, “24 years. with @sunye.m We entered JYP together in 2001, spent long trainee years, and you debuted as Wonder Girls and I as 2AM. And now in 2025, Jo Kwon and Sunye standing on stage together again — it’s simply precious.” 




His words reflected on the long journey they shared, condensing the time from their trainee days to their separate group debuts and now their reunion on the same stage into a single sentence. In particular, his decision to specify the years 2001 to 2025 highlighted the weight and gratitude behind their long-standing relationship.

In a separate post, Sunye appears yet again, posing with Jo Kwon alongside their other mutual friends meeting up at a cafe in Gangneung.

Fans who share memories of their early days quickly filled the comments section. Many reminisced about their trainee years and respective group activities, expressing how moved they were to see the two on the same stage again. Some fans also requested old songs and expressed excitement for more future performances. Many agreed that their enduring chemistry and friendship felt unchanged despite the passage of time.

Congratulations to Jo Kwon and Sunye on their successful collaborative concert!
