In recent news, 2AM's Jo Kwon recently disclosed a significant regret during a guest appearance on MBC's "Radio Star."

Reflecting on his past, he revealed that back in 2014, when the group was signed with both Big Hit Entertainment (now HYBE) and JYP Entertainment, he had to choose between the two companies.

Despite an offer from Bang Si Hyuk to join Big Hit Entertainment, Jo Kwon opted to remain with JYP Entertainment due to his longstanding training there. However, he now regrets this decision, especially witnessing Big Hit Entertainment's subsequent massive success.

Additionally, Jo Kwon lamented losing touch with Bang Si Hyuk, with whom he used to be in regular contact. This revelation comes amidst Jo Kwon's solo career, where his song "Animal," featuring BTS' J-Hope, unexpectedly rose to the top of iTunes charts nearly a decade after its release.
