Singer and musical actor Kim Jun-su and Kim Jae-joong will be singing together for a soundtrack for a Japanese drama series titled “Waru~Who Said That Working Isn’t Cool?~” (translated), which is set to air from April 13. The soundtrack is titled “Sixth Magnitude Star.”

It’s been quite a while since the two singers sang together. Kim Jun-su and Kim Jae-joong used to be in the same trio, JYJ.

“It’s been a long time since I last released a song in Japan,” said Kim Jun-su in a statement through his label Palmtree Island on Wednesday. “I’m so thrilled about it, and most of all, I’m very excited that I was able to sing together with Jae-joong. It’s been a while and it was always great working with him.

"It’s a great song so please show a lot of love towards it."

Based on a popular manga of 30 years ago written by Fukami Jun, the series tells the story of an optimistic employee and her mysterious coworker who struggles to succeed in life.
