Lee Ji-hoon responded with a smile, "Actually, when I saw the name Jeremy on the list, I wondered if it was the Jeremy I knew. So, I asked the writer, 'Could he be from Ochuba?' and they said it was."
He added, "We were in the same choir 8 years ago," mentioning that they had reunited after 5 years since their choir activities.
Back then, they were 'best friends' who practiced and prepared for performances together, always looking out for each other.
