2PM’s Lee Junho has officially ended his 17-year journey with JYP Entertainment, and fans can’t stop talking about his touching farewell gesture.

On April 15, photos began circulating online showing the special gift Junho prepared for all the JYP staff before officially leaving the agency.

In the photo, a heartfelt banner from Junho reads, “To the JYP family, I was happy because we were together. Thank you sincerely. From Lee Junho.”

Along with this message, Junho set up a cheesecake station at the company’s café — with a slice for each employee to take and enjoy.

That day marked Junho’s official departure from the company he first joined as a trainee, spending nearly two decades growing as a singer, actor, and all-around star.

Back on March 20, JYP had already announced the contract ending, saying, “After deep discussions, both sides have decided not to renew the contract. We sincerely thank Lee Junho for being part of the company’s growth and journey over the past 17 years.”

Junho also shared a warm message through the agency, “Thank you sincerely for the support given to me over the past 17 years. I will move forward while cherishing the relationships and support we’ve built during this long time together.”

Even though he’s officially left the agency, Junho’s activities in Japan will still be handled by JYP. “We will continue to manage his activities in Japan and will actively support future collaborations as needed,” the agency stated.

This sweet gesture isn’t the only thing that showed Junho’s character recently. On March 27, he donated 100 million KRW (around $75,000 USD) to World Vision, requesting that the funds go to support children and residents affected by the devastating wildfires in Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk.

Fans are now looking forward to Junho’s next chapter, with his appearances in Netflix’s new series “Cashero” and tvN’s “Typhoon Trading Company” lined up for this year.

From heartfelt goodbyes to generous donations, Junho is showing the world that he’s not just a talented artist — but also a genuinely kind soul.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
