Actor Jang Hyuk revealed the reason he began activities as project singer T.J.

On the 24th, a video titled "Jang Hyuk Im Woo-il [Jjanhanhyung EP.159] Dalggi Follows Woo-il, Wajjayeom~ Chasschass" was released on the YouTube channel 'Jjanhanhyung Shin Dong-yeop'.

When asked about his time at entertainment agency Psythe2, Jang Hyuk said, "I was there for nearly 30 years. From my debut until two or three years ago, I remained with them." He added, "The predecessor of Psythe2 existed from the beginning, and as members joined one by one during my tenure, god was formed."

Upon Shin Dong-yeop's remark that he must have considered becoming a member of god, Jang Hyuk replied, "I was not a member of god," and then explained the background behind the creation of the T.J project album.

Jang Hyuk stated, "In the mid-to-late 1990s, male actors often changed their characters and images through music videos before appearing in works." He continued, "A discussion arose to create a project album for image-making, which led to the release of the T.J album with me as the main artist."

He further added, "I never had a dream of becoming a singer. When I said I wouldn't sing, they told me to rap instead. Although there was no Navy Headquarters at the time, I practiced for about a year."

Although he initially planned not to appear on music shows, due to circumstances at the time where it was difficult to have music videos broadcast without appearing on stage, he ultimately ended up performing on music programs as well.

Jang Hyuk recalled, "Rap is much faster than I expected, with no room for breathing." He said, "At that time, it was lip-syncing, but out of conscience, I memorized all the rap lyrics. There were no prompters, so I performed on stage after memorizing everything."
