The interview took place in light of Hong Jong Hyun's 10th anniversary, and he spoke briefly about Kim Woo Bin's condition. He said, "I was really shocked at first. I knew his body wasn't well but didn't realize it was to that extent. As of right now, I know that he has been doing a lot better; he'll be okay soon." 

He continued, "It isn't hard to keep in touch to see how he is doing. I was sorry because I couldn't contact him even after finding out about it. He must be having a more difficult time than anyone else and you can only imagine just how many called him to ask if he's doing okay. I thought that asking that question itself would give him stress. I sent him a text message after some time when his name stopped popping up everywhere on the internet. We conversed about some stuff and he called me after a while to say that he's doing okay. I'm cheering him on and I hope he gets healthy soon so we can work together again."

Glad to hear he's doing much better.
