"In 2014, at the end of the double contract, I had to choose which one [company] to stay with. During that time, Bang Si Hyuk had asked me whether I wanted to sign on with Big Hit Entertainment," 2AM Jo Kwon elaborated.

Jo Kwon also added that during that time, the popularity of 2AM had skyrocketed because of their song "Never Let You Go," which had been composed by Bang Si Hyuk himself.

2AM Jo Kwon then revealed that he had decided not to join Big Hit Entertainment at the time, as he had already trained for a long time under JYP Entertainment, hence, why he decided to leave Big Hit Entertainment and join JYP Entertainment instead.

Jo Kwon also said that it's sad, as he had lost touch with Bang Si Hyuk afterwards as well, but before, he used to keep in touch with the Big Hit Entertainment founder and producer quite often.

Meanwhile, 2AM made their debut back in July 2008 under JYP Entertainment and Big Hit Entertainment, and consisted of four members: Jo Kwon, Lee Changmin, Lim Seulong, and Jeong Jinwoon.

Back on June 27, Jo Kwon shared on his social media account that "Animal," a song in which BTS' J-Hope had featured and participated in writing and composing, and was released almost a decade ago, had risen up the charts on iTunes!

It seems that fans are also streaming "Animal" to commemorate the song on its release date, which is on July 2. In addition to iTunes Bolivia, "Animal" is also rising to No.1 in iTunes charts in Peru, Saudi Arabia, and Argentina. As of June 27, the song climbed to the top in a total of eight countries so far.

Jo Kwon expressed his gratitude through his social media by thanking fans.

BTS' J-Hope had participated in the song before making his debut as a member of BTS the next year in June 2013. With this, the rapper-dancer was able to gain experience performing on stage on music programs such as MBC's "Music Core."

Congratulations to Jo Kwon and J-Hope!
