"No one can judge me. As someone who respects everyone in the world, I prepare a meaningful stage as one person giving it their all. Whether it's as a crossdressing man or a ballader or a powerful male dancer, I'm showing who Jo Kwon is, not just Kkap Kwon or anyone else. I'm not trying to convey that I'm not a drag queen, I'm sure you know that. I think that I'm still lacking in the ability to pull off drag as an artistic form. My job is to sing, not to be a drag queen. But as someone who tries to make so many stars shine, I'm showing you a stage that I fully trust in. I'm sure there are people who don't view it positively but this is who I am. I'm not forcing myself to do something I don't like. I trust myself to know that I enjoy what I do."

1. [+283, -23] To all you youth out there, have any of you put in the effort in your lives that Jo Kwon has? Jo Kwon is one of the few who has had the longest training period out of anyone. The effort, passion, potential, power, patience, will, and thirst for the stage... he represents all of that, and no more and no less. He is someone who knows how to burn himself alive with these traits. He is an icon of effort, and no one should dare to judge him for that.
