His management said, “It’s been 3 years since Kim Jaejoong’s last activity in Japan and the result is very surprising because the DVD is not a song or a concert but a making of his drama. Kim Jaejoong’s high popularity could be the contributing factor why Protect the Boss has been rebroadcast from several channels across Japan.”
