Singer Lee Juck Reflects on Celebrity Life During Tokyo Trip with Jung Jae-hyung

Singer Lee Juck, known for his candid personality, recently shared his thoughts on celebrity life during a trip to Tokyo with fellow artist Jung Jae-hyung and 2PM's Jang Woo-young, as featured on the YouTube channel 'Yojung Jae-hyung'.

On July 13, the 'Yojung Tour' episode showcased their adventures in Tokyo, where Jung Jae-hyung, who has a keen interest in fashion, took Lee Juck to Omotesando. Despite Lee's lack of interest in fashion, Jung recommended several outfits, suggesting they could be used as stage costumes.

While checking the prices, Lee Juck expressed his surprise at the cost, to which Jung Jae-hyung humorously responded, "You could buy this store, it's not that expensive for you."

Eventually, Lee Juck purchased a white-toned outfit recommended by Jung, jokingly commenting, "Buying expensive clothes makes me dizzy. If I wear white at a festival under the lights, I might attract mosquitoes and mayflies."

While Jung Jae-hyung explored a perfume shop, Lee Juck waited outside, prompting Jung to quip, "You look like me waiting for Uhm Jung-hwa to finish shopping."

The duo, showcasing their contrasting tastes, later enjoyed a beer in Ebisu, engaging in light-hearted banter. They praised actress Kim Da-mi for her down-to-earth nature, with Lee Juck reflecting, "Even after 30 years as a singer, I don't feel like a celebrity. It doesn't seem like my job."

Jung Jae-hyung teased Lee Juck about his success, saying, "You've made your money," to which Lee humorously replied, "I'm ready to leave now that I've made my share."

Lee Juck described Jung Jae-hyung as a quintessential celebrity, noting his fashion sense and charisma, adding, "In the entertainment world, he shines, but in regular society, he might struggle." Jung retorted, "Do you think you'd shine in a regular job? You'd be a disaster," to which Lee admitted, "I'd probably be sucking up to the boss."

Reflecting on his career, Lee Juck mused, "If Jung hadn't ventured into variety shows, he'd be cursing K-pop from the sidelines. His transformation began after 40. Life is unpredictable."
