Sudden Close-Up On Popular Korean Group 2PM
Their first appearance in "mini" magazine: we've dug deep into the 6 members' true nature!!

A report on their super exciting stay in Japan

A wild, masculine image on stage, combined with their cute, mischievous nature -- 2PM captivates every woman in Asia with this contrasting personality. The nickname given to them is, of course, "jimseung-dol" (beastly idol)! Since they had a long stay in Japan for the first time in February, we have asked them to talk about their impressions of our country.

KHUN: I went to shop at a toy store in Ginza with Wooyoung in our free time. There were a lot of rare items, so we didn't know what to get.
TAEC: I went with the rest of the members to Shibuya for some window shopping. Shibuya looks like Myeongdong in Korea, but it was a lively street filled with lots of people. I was also glad that some girls recognized us.
WOO: There were many rare hamsters and small animals in a pet shop in Odaiba. I wanted to take them all back with me to Korea.
JUNSU: Japan has a lot of stylish, unique fashion - the kind that I like - so no matter how much time I have, it'll never be enough for shopping! This time, I bought a Jeremy Scott Adidas jacket!

When we asked about their memories of this Japan stay, they brought up "food".

JUNHO: I can't forget the sooki soba (soba noodles with pork spare ribs) we ate in Okinawa. Korea doesn't have that sort of refreshing flavour.
JUNSU: It's sushi for me! But it's too bad I couldn't eat my favourite ootoro (quality tuna; usually the underbelly).
KHUN: The tonkotsu ramen (ramen with pork belly and bones) was delicious. When we go to Kyushu, I'm definitely going to try the original tonkotsu ramen there!
WOO: I liked the unagi bento (eel lunch box). It was so soft that it melted in my mouth the minute I took a bite. I was impressed.
CHAN: The chicken sashimi was novel, too.
KHUN: Yeah yeah! my parents always told me to cook chicken properly before eating it, so I was shocked when it came out raw.

Besides the chicken sashimi, they were also surprised by various other cultural differences.

WOO: I was shocked that the taxi doors were automatic. A taxi driver got mad at us when we tried to open the door, and in the next minute, the door opened on its own. I thought we were in a horror movie or something.
TAEC: When we went to a beach in Okinawa, I was surprised to find that there wasn't a single soul there; it almost felt like a desert island. I definitely want to go there in my private time, though.
JUNSU:The streets of Japan are clean, so it's easy to live in. There's no trash on the ground, either. More than anything else, it was love at first sight for me when I saw the night scenery here.
CHAN: Japan also has cutting-edge fashion, so it's very stimulating. I want to go to Harajuku next.
JUNHO: I like secondhand clothing, so I want to have a total shopping spree in Ura-Harajuku (the backstreets of Harajuku).

Their favourite type of girl.
Taecyeon prefers the tsundere type!?
(T/N: "Tsundere" is, to put it very simply, a person who's mean on the outside, but loving on the inside.)

WOO: I have the impression that Japanese are kind and thoughtful. I also like that our fans here watch over us while following the proper etiquette.
JUNHO: I think it's amazing that Japanese girls know their own individual style and subsequently choose clothes that fit that style. I do like girls who dress well.

Speaking of which, Taecyeon appears to focus more on a girl's inner beauty rather than her fashion. He might unexpectedly like tsundere girls!?

TAEC: I like a girl who's usually very strong, but will treat me gently when I'm depressed.
CHAN: Shall I teach you what to say if you find a girl you like in Japan? "(in Japanese) When did you become so cute!?"
TAEC: Isn't that kind of over the top? Do girls these days appreciate that sort of pick-up line? (laughs)
JUNHO: Probably only the heroine in a drama!

They'll finally debut in Japan on 18 May. Their Japanese single "Take Off" will go on sale, and their activites in Japan will begin with earnest.

WOO: Many of our songs in Korea are dark with strong beats, but "Take Off" is a positive song that's bright and fast-paced. I think you'll be able to see a new side of us.
TAEC: It has lyrics that basically say, "let's take off to a new world!" so I think it's a fitting song for our new departure into Japan.
CHAN: For the recording, I had a hard time with the pronunciation. I struggled with the "tsu", "chi" and "sa" sounds....... (cries)
KHUN: With regards to the choreography, we have a dance that expresses an airplane taking flight. It's simple enough for fans to copy, so I hope they can dance along with us.

Their national tour across Japan's 5 cities has also been confirmed. Right now, they're preparing for the tour at a feverish pace.

JUNHO: It'll be a party-style concert where all our fans can rock the house with us.
CHAN: We'll give you a passionate performance that screams, "This is 2PM!" so I hope everyone will come down to have fun with us!!!
