Q; There was a long vacation after the concert, did you all get together and spend time together?

Jeje’s father: Yes, we were all together. 

Q : Jaejung travels overseas often, this must be the first time to meet with his family after the concert. What was it like to see him in such a long time? 

Fater: After they left [SME] and did a concert, it looked like they were laid the foundation to a certain degree. My family and I were all happy. And then he came to visit us and spent time with his sisters, so it looked like he was leading a very comfortable and stable life. 

Q : Oh, so more stable than before~ I’m sure it looked like he was more comfortable because he has more free time now. 

Father: He could come home and rest comfortbly with his sisters, and there was much less pressure (means less uncomfortable) in terms of family atmostphere now, and he’s not as busy as before, so he had a good rest.
