Although there is quite a lot of pressure on JYJ as this is the first time in three years that they’re performing together, it was later revealed that the members were calm and relaxed throughout the entire process.

C-JeS stated, “The reason why the album is called ‘JUST US’ is because JYJ wanted to show who they really are, instead of being influenced by the pressure to succeed. It does also mean that we’ll be presenting music that only JYJ can pull off, but it has more to do with the fact that JYJ want to share their joy of music with the public.”

The ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master’ team was unable to do so, until they reached their fourth victory in basketball during the episode that aired on the 24th of December, solidifying their plans to attend the Sochi Winter Olympics.

The staff have been preparing for this trip since last year, just in case the celebrity team was able to secure four victories. The team will be showing their support for Korea during the Olympics in a unique way to fit with the characteristics of their program.
