"There will be people leaving hateful comments when this scene is broadcast. Please don't speak before you see my performance. When I first picked up this role, people said things like, 'What's that?', 'That's going too far, it's weird', and 'How is he going to do that in high heels'... But I want people to start saying instead, 'He's able to pull it off because he's Jo Kwon. Only Jo Kwon could pull this off'. Whatever image I am, it doesn't matter when you do well and touch hearts because people will praise you in return. I think that's why I challenge myself."
