I think that's the most important thing and that hasn't changed," Soompi quoted the actor as saying during the Hong Kong press conference and ViuTV interview event.

Apart from that, the Hallyu star also talked about working with actress Hye Kyo. Joong Ki went on to express how grateful he is to Hye Kyo and pointed out one of the many things that he has to gain from the 34-year-old actress.
