“Jinyoung hyung and I are not in a relationship that can be defined in any specific way; we're just brothers. He said he wanted to spend his whole life making music and standing on stage, so I hope he burns the stage he dreams of and happily steps down from the stage. I want to see him again at a place like this on our 40th anniversary.”
