Lee Jong Suk continued, “I’m saying this and I know my fans will understand. To me, her existence is like Kang Dan I”, adding “As a friend, she worries about directions and worries in life. She’s a dependable younger sister but also looks like an older sister and an adult. However, she’s a great friend whom I want to protect. She makes me want to become a better person”.

Lastly, he said, “I should have introduced her well. It’s my first time experiencing this, so I’m worried that my fans would have been so surprised and upset. I hope you keep watching us with a warm heart”.
