BEAST member Yong JunHyung has expressed his thoughts on working with junior group BTOB which is of the same company.
During a press conference for MONSTAR, Yong JunHyung revealed, “In the drama, I and BTOB members act as popular idol group ‘Man In Black’.

Yong JunHyung continued, “Unlike my concerns, during the shoot for our jacket picture, we matched each other well. BTOB members are younger than me but because I was with them, it seems that I looked younger as well”, he expressed, causing laughter on the press conference today.
He has also expressed that he felt burdensome on his first drama. “I feel stressful with my first debut in a drama. There were many worries as well. Director-nim hopes that I could act a Yoon SeolChan that loves music and knows about music,” he said.
He continued, “In order to act as Yoon SeolChan, I am practicing very hard to present that delicate act” and, “I’m working hard not to lie to the audience, but to make a real situation of it”, he added.
Also, he revealed, “Since debut, I’ve always wanted to act, but saying that I want to act doesn’t mean that I could act. I think that I have to be given a chance only then I can do so. I feel good since a good opportunity came”, he expressed.
Meanwhile, the drama will be aired on the coming 17th of May.

Yong JunHyung has expressed his confidence for ‘MONSTAR’.
Challenging in his first drama act, Yong JunHyung and Ha YeonSu have attracted attention after being chosen as the main leads for the drama. Without any experience in acting, Yong JunHyung expressed that he was indeed burdensome at first, “I was scared. I worried and the burden was really big”, he honestly revealed.
Yong JunHyung continued, “When director-nim proposed to me, I asked him instead, ‘What do you see in me?’ and he said that he wanted someone who loves and knows about music for Yoon SeolChan’s character” and, “We have shot for about 2 months, and director-nim helped out a lot. I couldn’t say there’s a steady progress yet but I’ll show a better look as time goes. For now, my confidence level is much more than my burden thoughts”, he revealed.
During the press conference today, regarding on his first cooperation with Ha YeonSu, Yong JunHyung expressed, “I could feel Ha YeonSu’s mysterious existence.” He continued, “My first impression for Ha YeonSu was that she’s really distant. She was that type that doesn’t talk much, and so it was hard to approach her”. “Therefore, I was close with Kang Haneul first. I tried to figure out ways on how to approach Ha YeonSu under this friendly atmosphere. It was hard for me to do so, but she has a good and cheerful personality,” revealing their friendship.
