Kim Je-duk said, ‘You worked hard, Je-duk! It’s great and cool. I will always sincerely support you. Choi Yoo-Jung’s comment, “Let’s go fighting!” said, “Huh. How do you do this? I can’t seem to sleep for a few days. Thank you,’ he added a tearful emoticon. In an interview, he said, “I am a fan of Choi Yoo-Jung.
