Jaejoong made a long-awaited return to a major broadcast station after 15 years. 

On March 9th, Jaejoong appeared for a recording for the KBS2TV variety program, 'Star's Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant'. This marks his first reconnection with a wider audience through mainstream media in 15 years since 2009. 

Following the recording, Jaejoong updated his Instagram. In the caption, he wrote, "The latest shooting technique I learned on the set? A big failure.... I'll practice and try again. 

Today I was about to cry a little bit, but I swallowed it with feelings of joy and got myself together. This feeling is hard to explain... I know it's going to be hard to understand but I want to share my gratitude for 'today' with everyone around me rather than to reminisce about the process and stories of the past.

I hope everyone can enjoy the day with smiles and thank you for all your blessings."
