Jo Hyun Jae took time out of his busy drama filming schedule in China to jet to Japan and be a part of his hyung Song Seung Heon‘s fan meeting.

When I was watching episode 1 of Spy Myung Wol today, I noticed TPTB (The Powers That Be) not only made recently released from the military Eric do the obligatory shirtless shower scene, it also made him do an even more gratuitous swimming scene.
