In an upcoming episode (Episode 2) of the travel variety show "Magic Lamp" on MBC Every1, set to air on October 2nd, SEVENTEEN's Jeonghan openly expressed his admiration for veteran artist Kim Jae-joong, a sentiment he has held since his school days.

The episode chronicles the juniors' experiences as they embarked on a journey to Montpellier, France, following a lengthy flight.

Jeonghan's Admiration for Kim Jae-joong 

As the members of SEVENTEEN gathered for a relaxed evening snack session, their conversation naturally shifted towards the missing presence of Kim Jae-joong, the eldest member, during their initial meeting. 

Jeonghan, a member of the popular K-pop group SEVENTEEN, recently took a moment to express his admiration for Kim Jae-joong, highlighting him as a long-standing source of inspiration and a role model in his life. 

He confessed, "I always thought that I wanted to become famous like Kim Jae-joong in Japan." In response to this heartfelt revelation, Kim Jae-joong warmly reciprocated, stating, "I'm always rooting for SEVENTEEN," displaying his supportive senior artist side.

In a stunning revelation, Jeonghan expressed his astonishment at finding himself in a rather extraordinary situation, stating, "The thought of collaborating with Kim Jae-joong never crossed my mind." 

Kang Hee, another participant, echoed this sentiment, remarking, "All of us feel the same way, right?" Kim Jae-joong, visibly delighted by the admiration from his juniors, shared that he had been their idol since their school days.
