Although he was at first hesitant to do the interview, Kim Jun Hyung later went on with it for his and Hyoyeon's sake. "I wanted to tell those who became disappointed about Hyoyeon because of the incident what an awesome person she really is."

To shed light on the incident, Kim Jun Hyun shared, "I was scared that Hyoyeon might fall after she lost her footing. The drop was 5 meters, so I was really scared. I thought that even if she was just joking, she could still get serious hurt if something went wrong. That's why I thought I needed to get help from the police. I called in to ask for help, but then they misunderstood and thought I was reporting her for violence."

At the day of the incident, SM Entertainment and the police department said that Hyoyeon was playing around and pretended to jump off. When Kim Jun Hyung (then only identified as a "male friend") tried to stop her, she accidentally hit him. However, one netizen posted that the truth behind the incident was that Hyoyeon tried to commit suicide because she was being bullied by Girls' Generation. SM Entertainment has denied such claims, and Kim Jun Hyung thinks that rumours are absurd.

"I couldn't understand the rumors. If you really know about Hyoyeon's personality, you'd know these rumors aren't true. In my opinion, I think people's imaginations were just running wild. Hyoyeon is actually very nice, and she makes the atmosphere great with her splendid personality. She's also very close with the members [of Girls Generation] as if they are her family. She's someone who smiles all the time, spends happy moments with her family, friends, and dog. She's the type that doesn't pay attention to rumors. Every time she's misunderstood, she optimistically says, 'I'll just have to do better. I just have to work harder and show a good image,'" Kim Jun Hyung shared.

Kim Jun Hyun and Hyoyeon met on New Year's eve in 2012. The 10-year age gap didn't become a hindrance for the two to develop deeper feelings for each other. When they dated, the couple would spent time getting into sports. Furthermore, they developed a strong bond because that two are both Catholics.

Following the incident, SM Entertainment cleared up that Hyoyeon and Kim Jun Hyun are no longer dating. To confirm this, Kim Jun Hyun said, "We didn't break up because of that incident. After that, we decided it would be best if we were just oppa-dongsaeng. We would just share meals with other friends."

He concluded, "She's one of the nicest, most honest, and positive person I've met. We still keep in touch and support each other."
