Jeong Dong-won revealed that he is a resident of the same apartment complex as Lim Young-woong.
MBC's 'Radio Star', which aired on the 5th, featuring Kim Chang-wan, Kim Yuna, Jeong Dong-won (JD1), and Danny Koo.
Jeong Dong-won is also active as the sub-character JD1. Unlike trot singer Jeong Dong-won, JD1 has the concept of an AI idol.
Jeong Dong-won performed JD1's new song 'ERROR 405'. Jeong Dong-won explained, “I changed my hair from blonde to black,” and “This time, I dyed my hair to do the same with Jeong Dong-won’s hair color. If the AI has been perfect so far, this time, there is a story where it makes an error and learns emotions.” At the same time, he said, "How long will I continue to work as an AI? It's difficult for me too," and made people laugh by revealing identity confusion.
Jeong Dong-won shared the different reactions of singers from ‘Mr. Trot’ about JD1’s activities. Jeong Dong-won said, "Uncle (Jang) Min-ho gave me realistic advice because he was older. He said, 'You can do what you can now and do it later, but why are you doing that already?' Still, he supported me in a tsundere style." Also, "(Lee) Chan-won makes fun of me by asking, 'What is AI doing now?' Sometimes we make video calls, and before going to bed, he takes off his clothes and makes a phone call. 'The AI is taking off his clothes,' and 'The AI has all the skin of a human being.' I also say things like that. “It’s annoying,” he said, laughing. Jeong Dong-won said, “(Lim) Young-woong also has many genres he wants to try, so he gives me feedback telling me to try a variety of things.”
Jeong Dong-won revealed that he was a resident of the same apartment building as Lim Young-woong. It is known that Jeong Dong-won purchased a residential-commercial apartment complex worth 2 billion won in Mapo-gu, Seoul in the summer of 2023. In September 2022, Lim Young-woong attracted attention by purchasing a penthouse in the same apartment for 5.1 billion won.
Jeong Dong-won said, "I went to Spain to film JD1's music video," and "I was away from home for about 5 nights and 6 days. I raise two dogs. My older brother lives in the same apartment, so he often looks after my dogs. I help him through difficult times by being around me. “I will take care of it,” he said.
