Shin Sung Rok said, "I'm still close enough to all of them that we sometimes go drinking sometime, so it's clear that we'll support each other. "
"I actually talked a lot with Joo Dong Min while filming 'Kairos' and we each shared what we were doing. We also said we would meet after we finished filming. We ended up competing in the same time slot, but they are people. "the people I always support, so I congratulate them sincerely because their project is going well," concluded Shin Sung Rok.
