- when asked what he likes about Japanese fans.. HJ said: “They are passionate and the way they cheer me on. Korean fans’ voice is thicker, but Japanese fans cheer me with higher voice like ‘rida…!” (as in leader).

- when asked what his impression of Japan is….HJ said: “there are distinct characteristics in each place, and Osaka has its characteristics too. I learnt the word ‘maido’ (which seems to mean ‘always’ in the Osaka dialect).

- when asked what he likes in Japan…HJ said: “I like gyudon, ramen, okonomiyaki, wing tips.”
