Kim Dong Han On Promoting At The Same Time As JBJ95, His Collaboration Goals, And More

Kim Dong Han shared his thoughts on a potential upcoming reunion with JBJ95 and more in an interview with Bnt International!

After promoting with the project group JBJ for several months following the end of “Produce 101 Season 2,” Kim Dong Han has been releasing music as a solo artist, and most recently made a comeback with “Good Night Kiss” on October 17.

Fellow JBJ members Kenta and Kim Sang Gyun will debut as a permanent duo under the name JBJ95 on October 30, and it was pointed out to Kim Dong Han during the interview that it’s very likely they’ll meet during promotions. When asked to say something to the pair, Kim Dong Han joked, “I’m more of a senior artist than JBJ95. I hope they come to my waiting room to formally greet me.”

Kim Dong Han also talked about how the group remains close. “I still stay in touch with the members,” he said. “Out of all of them, I meet up with Kenta a lot. We both like films so we meet up to watch them together. We went to see ‘Venom’ together recently.”

When asked who he’d like to do a collaboration with in the future, Kim Dong Han replied that there are many people he wants to work with, but chose one artist in particular. “I became friends with Kim Dong Hyun of MXM when we were roommates on ‘Produce 101 Season 2’ and we said that we should do a collaboration later on when we’re successful,” he said.

Kim Dong Han is well known for his skills at cover dances, as well as his admiration for senior artists in the industry. When asked which performances by senior artists were helpful for him in the past, Kim Dong Han replied, “When I was in a dance team before my debut, I would watch performances by senior artists like EXO and BTS and practice the gestures and dances.” He added, “BTS is my role model and I’m their fan. Lately they’re becoming even more popular internationally, and I want to be even a quarter like them.”

In terms of a solo artist role model, Kim Dong Han picked Lee Seung Gi, mentioning how he is active in various fields such as acting, variety, and music. “If I get the opportunity, I’d also like to try things outside of music such as acting and variety,” he said. For variety shows he’d like to appear on, he named MBC’s “Radio Star” and JTBC’s “Ask Us Anything.”

Finally, Kim Dong Han shared his future goal. “Since I’m still a rookie, I want to become more well known. Another goal is to have my music enter the charts.”
