Lee Jung praises V’s passion for dance

He loves dance as much as I do, so we really connect on that level.”
She remarked that V often pours himself into practice sessions with a level of intensity that rivals her own. Witnessing his commitment pushed her to reevaluate her own standards. “He’s truly humble, and seeing how hard he works, even harder than I do, makes me think, ‘I must never compromise with myself,’” she said.

Lee Jung also described V as a “great source of inspiration.” Far from being just a collaborator, she views him as someone who recharges her creatively. “He’s someone I genuinely look up to/a true role model for me, and he gives me a lot of energy,” she shared. Their relationship goes beyond just working together. It’s about shared values, creative respect, and pushing each other to be better artists.
