Personal Question!!

~*JUNSU*~
Born on 15 January, 1988 | 180cm | 68kg


Q: Recommend a movie, book or CD you've enjoyed recently.
JUNSU: I just totally forgot the title of the book I'm reading right now. (laughs) (After thinking for a moment) I got it! I'm reading a book called "The Concept of Love". The content might be a bit cheesy, but reading it will awaken the emotions you have when you fall in love with someone.

Q: What is your shoe size and vision prescription?
JUNSU: My shoe size is 27.5cm. I have a vision of 0.3 ~ 0.2. I used to wear contacts, but I don't anymore. I can see a little.

Q: What is the most expensive item you've ever bought?
JUNSU: I don't know if it's expensive, but the most valuable items I ever bought were the presents I got for my parents with my first earnings. I gave a wallet and shoes to my father, and a wallet and a handbag to my mother. For 8 years, my mother has been using the wallet I gave her when I was a child.

Q: The lyrics of "Take Off" has the phrase "Mahou no kotoba" (magic words). What are your magic words?
JUNSU: "Let's win this!"

Q: Which member would you go to for advice?
JUNSU: I talk it out with all the members. If it's advice about love, I talk to the member who happens to be around. I've never actually done that, though. (laughs)

Q: How much do you have in your wallet right now?
JUNSU: I don't really walk around with cash. Ah, that's right. Lately, I received a university scholarship of 1 million won (about 100 ~ 120 thousand yen). That check is still in my wallet. (laughs)

Q: If you had a girlfriend, what present would you give her?
JUNSU: A huge bear the same size as me. Not that I have a girlfriend. (laughs)

Q: What would you like your girl to cook for you?
JUNSU: Ddeokbokki.

Q: What kind of flowers would you send to someone?
JUNSU: Pink roses.

Q: If someone said they'd give you a year's worth of OO, what would you ask for?
JUNSU: A year's worth of vacation... just kidding! (laughs) A black T-shirt made of 100% cotton, maybe?

Q: What's on your cellphone's display screen?
JUNSU: I have an Original Fake illustration drawn by the artist, KAWS, on my screen. It's a brand I really like, and he has some stores in Japan.

Q: What do you need to improve on?
JUNSU: I have so many things I need to work on, I can't list them all. (laughs) Ah, I don't have enough water in my system! I need to drink lots of water. (laughs)

Q: As Jun.K, you collaborated with ONEWAY and other artistes to produce songs. How did that feel?
JUNSU: I was very happy! It was something I really wanted to do, so it was like a dream come true. I hope to compose more songs, and I'd like to try that in Japan, too. I'm writing a 2PM song right now, so I think we can share it with everyone very soon. The song is a dance piece. I've also written a number of ballads, so please look forward to them!

Q: What does the "K" in Jun.K mean?
JUNSU: The "K" stands for my last name, Kim.

Q: Please write down 3 words to describe yourself!
JUNSU: Music, practice of medicine, weirdo (laughs)

~*TAECYEON*~
27 December, 1988 | 185cm | 76kg


Q: Recommend a movie, book or CD you've enjoyed recently.
TAEC: I watched a movie called "Love & Other Drugs" on the plane, but anything with love as the theme makes my heart flutter and my chest hurt.

Q: What is your shoe size and vision prescription?
TAEC: My shoe size... 28cm. My vision... is bad. (laughs) I usually wear glasses, but I'm wearing contacts today.

Q: Which member would you go to for advice?
TAEC: I don't usually go to anyone in particular... okay, I guess I'd go to Nichkhun. We've shared the same room since we entered the agency, and he's the friend I've always been able to talk to in English.

Q: How much do you have in your wallet right now?
TAEC: I don't have money. I don't have Korean money, and I might have some Japanese money, but I have no idea how much I've got. (laughs)

Q: If someone said they'd give you a year's worth of OO, what would you ask for?
TAEC: Ramen!

Q: If you had a girlfriend, what present would you give her?
TAEC: I don't know if she'd use it or not, but I'd give her a necklace.

Q: What would you like your girl to cook for you?
TAEC: I'll be happy with anything she makes for me.

Q: What do you think you need to improve on?
TAEC: I tend to worry about the future and impatiently crave instant results, so I think I need to work on that and correct it.

Q: What song pumps you up when you listen to it?
TAEC: There's a super catchy 2PM song I really like amongst our new ones, but since it hasn't been released, I shan't say anymore. (laughs) I don't know when it'll go on sale, but I'm sure it'll be out soon.

Q: If you could be a music video director, which 2PM song would you like to shoot?
TAEC: I want to shoot the MV for "Don't Stop Can't Stop".

Q: What's on your cellphone's display screen?
TAEC: A picture I took with the cast and staff of the drama "Dream High".

Q: What is the most expensive item you've ever bought?
TAEC: A laptop.

Q: How did it feel to appear in the drama "Dream High"?
TAEC: I really enjoyed it. Shooting was long, and there were times when it was tough, and times when I didn't have much sleep. Despite all that, I think we produced a great piece of work, so from the bottom of my heart, I'm pleased and really happy.

Q: What did you think of the sensational kiss scene?
TAEC: It was awkward. (laughs) I was embarrassed and also kind of shy. But in order to pull off a good scene with my partner, Suzy, I did my best.

Q: Please write down 3 words to describe yourself!
Cheerful, 2PM, 24.

~*NICHKHUN*~
Born on 24 June, 1988 | 180cm | 64kg


Q: Recommend a movie, book or CD you've enjoyed recently.
KHUN: I talked about this on Twitter before, but there's a good book called "Like the Flowing River" by Paulo Coelho.

Q: What is your shoe size and vision prescription?
KHUN: My shoe size is... 28cm. As for my vision... I'm not sure. But I don't need glasses. I went for an eyesight test the other day, and that's what they told me. (laughs)

Q: What is the most expensive item you've ever bought?
KHUN: A bag I gave as a present to my mother. I don't buy branded goods for myself, but I do buy them as gifts. It may be because I'm busy, but I'm not good at choosing things, so I don't shop often.

Q: Which member would you go to for advice?
KHUN: Rather than one member in particular, I talk to everyone. But I do talk to different members depending on the problems I have at the time.

Q: If you had a girlfriend, what present would you give her?
KHUN: I'd like to buy her a necklace or some kind of accessory, but I like giving surprises, so I'll come up with something she really likes after I get to know her better. And they may be cheap, but I also want to buy souvenirs for her when I go abroad. In a show with f(x)'s Victoria-san, I gave her a scarf as a birthday present.

Q: What would you like your girl to cook for you?
KHUN: I want her to make her best dish. And even if it tastes bad, I'll finish the whole thing.

Q: How much do you have in your wallet right now?
KHUN: I don't really put cash in my wallet, so I don't know how much I have. I have a card, so I use that often. I think I have just enough money for a cab ride, like about 6000 won (400 ~ 600 yen). (laughs)

Q: What's on your cellphone's display screen?
KHUN: Right now, it's a picture of the sea from my cellphone's original images. I figured I wouldn't mind looking at it for a while.

Q: What do you think you need to improve on?
KHUN: I want to be more professional on stage. I also need to improve on my singing, dancing and manners.

Q: What steps do you take to stay active in the industry?
KHUN: There are several, but I keep in the mind the words spoken by a certain novelist, "Don't try to be a great man; just be one."

Q: Please tell us about the choreography for "Heartbeat".
KHUN: We like to do something special whenever we're on stage, so we'd discuss whether we should do an acrobatic move before going on. It's the first time we've done a forward roll as part of the choreography.

Q: You made a cameo appearance on the drama "Dream High". Do you have any interest in the acting world?
KHUN: Originally, I wanted to be an actor. This was my first cameo appearance. I don't have time to take acting classes, but I study the techniques when watching movies, so I hope to take on acting in the future. I'll work hard like Taecyeon.

Q: Did you watch your own scene?
KHUN: I did. I didn't appear for long, so it was over really fast. (laughs) I wasn't feeling good during the shoot, so I quickly finished my part in 40 minutes and went to the hospital. Considering the state I was in, I think I did pretty well. (laughs)

Q: Please write down 3 words to describe yourself!
KHUN: Man, passionate, honest

~*WOOYOUNG*~
Born on 30 April, 1989 | 178cm | 65kg


Q: Recommend a movie, book or CD you've enjoyed recently.
WOO: It's not a Korean novel, but I read a famous book called "11 minutes". I recommend it; it's about the love between a man and a woman.

Q: What is your shoe size and vision prescription?
WOO: My shoe size is 27cm. My vision isn't very good, since I wear contacts. I get my prescription from the hospital, so I don't know the exact numbers. (laughs)

Q: What is the most expensive item you've ever bought?
WOO: Instruments like a microphone and an electronic piano.

Q: "Take Off" is the theme song for an anime. What is your favorite anime or manga?
WOO: "Slam Dunk".

Q: Which member would you go to for advice?
WOO: If it's about work, I talk to all the members. If it's about love... I don't have time for that. (laughs)

Q: How much do you have in your wallet right now?
WOO: I don't have yen or won or dollars in my wallet. (laughs) I don't really use cash. When I want to buy drinks, I use a card. (laughs)

Q: If you had a girlfriend, what present would you give her?
WOO: I've never done this before, but I want to put on a pretty necklace for her.

Q: What would you like your girl to cook for you?
WOO: Juk (porridge). During the New Year, my parents came and cooked juk for me. If my parents can't come over, it'll be great if my girlfriend would make it.

Q: If someone said they'd give you a year's worth of OO, what would you ask for?
WOO: My exercise tee stretches out very quickly, so I'd like to have a lot of those.

Q: What's on your cellphone's display screen?
WOO: I have an audio wallpaper (it's written as "music feel my soul"). I occasionally change my wallpaper, and it's usually to landscapes related to vintage cars or music.

Q: What aspect of your personality or lifestyle do you think you need to improve on?
WOO: I'm often with my members, so I'm not very good at hanging out with people outside the group. If I had the time to meet friends, I'd rather use it to rest. I do want to see them, but I can't really do it.

Q: Do you have any other good friends in the entertainment industry?
WOO: I worked with SNSD's Taeyeon-san on a variety show before, so we're a little close. There aren't many others aside from that.

Q: Your kiss scene with IU-san in the drama "Dream High" became a hot topic.
WOO: The director told me to press my lips on hers and make it a real kiss, but I firmly said that I couldn't do it. Because we're both quite shy. (laughs)

Q: Tell us about your bonus video, "Face washing", in your concert DVD.
WOO: That was my idea; I did it because I thought it'd be interesting, and that fans might enjoy it. I think we look our most natural when we show how we spend our daily lives.

Q: Please write down 3 words to describe yourself!
WOO: Fish, rhythm, Wooyoung.

~*JUNHO*~
Born on 25 January, 1990 | 178cm | 67kg


Q: Recommend a movie, book or CD you've enjoyed recently.
JUNHO: I'm listening to songs by Collin Raye. They have a jazz feel to them, so they're easy to listen to. I've gone through his entire album.

Q: What is your shoe size and vision prescription?
JUNHO: My shoe size... 27.5cm. My vision... I'm not very sure. My eyes are quite good, so I don't use glasses.

Q: What is the most expensive item you've ever bought?
JUNHO: An iPad.

Q: The lyrics of "Take Off" has the phrase "Mahou no kotoba" (magic words). What are your magic words?

JUNHO: I only have receipts in here, not money. (laughs)

Q: If you had a girlfriend, what present would you give her?
JUNHO: I want to give her something she needs, not something that would surprise her. I'll ask her what she needs, and remember the items she uses everyday, or the things she finds cute. That's what I'll consider for her present.

Q: What would you like your girl to cook for you?
JUNHO: My favorite kimchi fried rice would be great.

Born on 11 February, 1990 | 184cm | 75kg

Q: If someone said they'd give you a year's worth of OO, what would you ask for?

Q: What song pumps you up when you listen to it?

Q: Compliment each member with one phrase.
CHAN: Wooyoung... witty. Junsu... has outstanding talent. Nichkhun... very considerate. Junho... manly. Taecyeon... I'm comfortable and close to him.

Q: Please write down 3 words to describe yourself!
CHAN: Cheerful, gloomy, diverse.

Individual handwritten messages from 2PM members
2PM has debuted in Japan with "Take Off"! Just like the lyrics that encourage people to work towards their dreams, the boys have messages for people who are impatient or who have fallen into depression as their efforts fail to get them any closer to their dreams.


KHUN: Take a break when you're frustrated. You'll feel better when you start again after that.
JUNHO: Everyone's uneasy! That's how people grow. We won't mature if we don't experience uneasiness!
TAEC: If things aren't going well, it might be because you're missing something! Make use of your failure to find out what that missing thing is and I'm sure you'll succeed!
CHAN: Keep trying, keep believing, and your dream should come true!
WOO: I'm also trying to overcome my own battles day after day. Please keep running to the very end. Please enjoy yourself too, and work harder than everyone else.
JUNSU: Always challenge yourself with a positive mindset!



Off-Camera Photo Collection
We've scored a close-up interview with 2PM while they're in Japan in February ~ March! Have a brief introduction of the scenes behind the interview, which was held in a studio within the city.


A playful Nichkhun poses with a peace sign. Sometimes he smiles too much!
KHUN: Take a cute shot, okay!


A: A morning interview. We began with Wooyoung, who arrived first. He tells us that he hasn't eaten breakfast yet. (cries)
B: Nichkhun having his solo shot taken. His legs are long even when he's lying on the floor!
C: A solo shot of Junsu, who was in a good mood for the whole interview.
D: Using the sofa for a group shot. "Where do we sit?" "Do I sit here?" They decide on their positions after a discussion.
E: Once the shooting begins, they pose as though they're relaxing at home. The 6 of them work together seamlessly, their smiles never breaking!
F: Following the cameraman's request for a fun look, the members come up with one pose after another, giving off a "Boys be ambitious" (?) vibe. (laughs)
G: They sneakily play janken (rock paper scissors). Random fact: Nichkhun apparently ate sushi at midnight the day before.

Members' comments on Japanese debut single "Take Off"


JUNSU: It's a number overflowing with exhilaration. This song was a huge challenge for us. Please check out the choreography for the chorus, and of course, the song.
KHUN: I think it's a wonderful song. It's catchy, so it'd be great if everyone could sing along and be charged up by it.
TAEC: It's a fitting song for us, as we debut and "take off" in Japan. I hope everyone will enjoy this new charm point of 2PM.
WOO: At first, I couldn't imagine what kind of song this would turn out to be, but when I listened to the tone generator after all the members finished recording, I was sure that it'd be awesome.
JUNHO: I was a little hesitant at first because the song has a cheerful, refreshing melody different from our usual Korean songs, but it's a very good song, so I absolutely love it now!
CHAN: It may sound simple compared to our Korean songs, but the composition and lyrics have a deep meaning to them, so please listen carefully.

2PM 1st Japan Tour 2011 "Take Off"
2011.5.12 Makuhari Messe Event Hall


2PM's first tour; fans in Makuhari concert go wild!

2PM's Zepp Tour started in Sapporo on 6 May. Their additional concert in Makuhari Messe was held on 12 May. Many people couldn't get their hands on a Zepp ticket, and impatience for the long-awaited concert rippled through the crowd before the performance. When the lights went off and the members flew out on stage with a video, the hall erupted into a wave of screams.

Right from the start, 2PM showed off their powerful dances through familiar numbers like "Don't Stop Can't Stop", "I hate you" and "Without U". Just when we thought the audience was sufficiently heated up, they moved onto a slow number, "I Can't", giving us a feel of their skilled singing. The dialogue between the MC and the members was also quite fun. When the boys greeted the hall, saying, "Hello, we're 2PM!" they went on to introduce themselves in Japanese. "I'm Chansung and despite the way I look, I'm the youngest." "I'm Junsu and I love ootoro (fatty tuna belly)." "I'm Wooyoung and I have tough thighs." In the solo corner, the members demonstrated their multiple talents. Nichkhun sang Utada Hikaru's "First Love" while playing the piano, Junho captured our attention with a sexy dance performance of Usher's "Nice & Slow" and Wooyoung gave us a cool cover of "Like a G6" by FAR EAST MOVEMENT.

After singing "I'll be back", "10 out of 10 (10/10)" and their Japanese debut single "Take Off", they returned to the solos. Junsu appeared on stage in response to everyone's "Junsu~!" chant. His rendition of "Empire State of Mind" swayed the hearts of the audience with his unstoppable, strong vocals. When Chansung did a cover of Rain's "A song to capture you" and exposed his body, the crowd let out especially loud screams. Following that was Taecyeon's refreshing version of GReeeeN's "Kiseki".

As the concert neared the end, they performed "Again&again", and ended the concert with the climax: "Heartbeat-Japanese ver.". Unable to cool their excitement after such a heated dance performance, the audience's calls for 2PM echoed through the hall.

The encore began with heartfelt messages of gratitude to their fans. During the high tempo remix of "I hate you ~ Again&again", Taecyeon, Wooyoung and Chansung even surprised everyone by running through the 2nd floor stands and dishing out fan service!

Finally, Taecyeon's greeting, "Let's Take Off together as we start our journey in Japan!" sent the audience cheering. For the second encore, they sang "Take Off" again, and with the airplane dance, the members became one with the hall. That was how the curtain closed to a passionate and thrilling 2-hour concert by the "beasts".

Park Jaebum's solo comeback and activities have been successful. The problem of quitting 2PM that shook up Korea last year, and the rumors that were started because of it greatly dimmed the activities of the talented young man called Park Jaebum, but Park Jaebum who'd come back in 2 years had a relatively stoic attitude.

He received passing marks in quality with the sophisticated pop-style songs that are listed in his first solo mini album 'TAKE A DEEPER LOOK', and his title track 'Abandoned' scored first place two weeks in a row as soon as it was released in KBS 'Music Bank'. However, Park Jaebum's expression didn't show 100% satisfaction.

"I certainly thought about how I didn't have popular appeal. However, I thought that just this time, it was an opportunity to do what I wanted to do, and I wanted to show that the songs just have to be good. I wrote the lyrics for all seven songs and participated in the composition of six songs. I participated in all details from the album artwork to the music video. I'm satisfied with the appraisal that I came back as a singer-songwriter after throwing off my idol feel."

For certain parts, it's obvious that the power of the fandom which had steadied itself further through hardships had an effect. Objectively speaking, the reason that his popularity couldn't endure steadily as much as it was explosive is because of this. However, it's clear that the assessments towards Park Jaebum has met its turning point. At this, the roles his good friends played cannot be ignored.

"I hear that I, who was an idol, suddenly changed. However, it's for certain that R&B and hip-hop is my kind of music. From when I was young, I listened to this kind of music, and this is my life. Of course, it was a big help that I had friends such as Dok2 and The Quiett by my side."

Meeting a good partner, to an artist, is a bigger piece of luck than any. Especially if that partner is a friend who understands one's thoughts.

"The foremost thing is to befriend them. I met Ne-Yo, and Musiq Soulchild. Meeting worldwide musicians obviously have meaning, but I don't think it's possible for us to do music together if I can't befriend them. Honestly, I didn't know much about Korean hip-hop. I think I just knew Tiger JK, and that was it. Then I met my friends, and I became a fan of their music, and I wanted to work with them. Dok2 and The Quiett are friends like that."





The activities Park Jaebum thinks of isn't above having a fun time with his friends. In reality, the steps Park Jaebum has taken, having small club performances with musicians like Dok2, international tour, performing with AOM hadn't been progressed because of a specific success or for marketing. They experience Park Jaebum's large contexts together.

"The thing I always hope for is just one thing. I don't have a mind to buy a good car, good house or anything. I just hope that the people around me live well and be happy. It's like having fun times with friends, not make my parents worry and buy my younger brother games he wants to have, stuff like that. It's stuff that I don't have to have a major success for."

In contrast to the hopes he has for his life, the aspirations he has for delving into the American market is clearly gigantic and solid. Park Jaebum has set that deadline for 2 years.

"Honestly, I'm confident. I think the important thing isn't the problem of working with some artist, reading the trend, and doing promotions. I think it's sincerity. Even if I do music in America, I can make it feel sincere. I listened to pop music since I was young and I'm certain I know their kind of music well. I write my raps in English first, and I already have a manager in America. Language is obviously important too. It's true that I need it to pass on my sincerity. 2 years, I see it a long time. I think it's sufficient."

I decided not to mention 2PM. Of course, there are many places the subject has been talked about, but the thought that he was a musician that should look at the future rather than the past was stronger.

"As a composer and producer, I worked on U-KISS' new album, and I'll also hold a concert soon. Since I already have a lot of songs I've made, I think the production of my 2nd mini album will finish quickly as well. Honestly, I have schedules for the filming of the movie, and I feel discontented because there's insufficient time for me to work on music. It's a kind of relief to have my activities finished before the expected time. (Laugh)"

[NEWS] Open the “Horvejkul” house and talk with the mother of 2PM’s Nichkhun

CREDITS: MANAGER.CO.TH (SOURCE) ; zaibatsu@FOLLOWKHUN.COM (TRANS)








They said, “Raising children to grow up to be good and beloved by other is one of the success and proud of every parents”. This is as same as a women named “Yenjit Horvejkul”, the mother of “Nichkhun” (who is a Thai member of 2PM under JYP Entertainment in Korea ) and the other three. She doesn’t expect much but wishes only all of her 4 children to be good persons in the society.

To raise children to be good by the mother “Yenjit” ‘s style, she reveals to our Life&Family team at a first place that, “One’s attitude of living depends on his parents the most. Raising children has to be based on love with freedom of thinking and should let children to do things on their own. If there are many children, the important thing is to know that each of them is different. Parents must learn and understand each of their children deeply.”

“I, as a mother, love each of them equally but trust differently on them because each of them has their own style. Some are independent and don’t want me to get involved; while others might want my advice. For example, the eldest son, Nichan, wants to do everything by himself. I do not interfere with his business. However, Nichkhun is totally different from his brother. Whenever he has anything, he comes to ask me for an advice. “, the detail of how to raise children was explained.

As an advisor to her children, she adds that, parents should not lead but just suggest & guide. Whatever children decide, she and her husband respect that.

“If they want anything, they will come and ask us if this is good or not. We just explain good and bad points. Making decision is their duties. We do not interfere. As an example, when my children wanted to study aboard, I told them what good and bad things they would meet as if they went aboard. I always tell them that every steps of their life, they should not be careless. If they miss a step, they should not blame on anybody except themselves.” This is what she emphasizes to her 4 children.

One thing she always hold to herself is that “Don’t be comparative parents” because this hurts children badly and might make children depressed as a result.

“Comparison is totally wrong for parents. Even our fingers do not have equal size. So, we should understand that people are not born with the same talent. One might be good at some things. We must see those and support him completely”, the mother Yenjit said.






Not only she raises children, but also heals their unhappiness whenever they have problem.

“When they are unhappy, our duty is to support them. For example, when our children went aboard for studying, we understood well that he would be lonely and had to live alone. So, we visited them when we had a chance. We also wrote letters or emails to them to be by their sides and to comfort them. It is fine whether they reply or not. We just wished them to know our love and concern on them.”

About having girlfriends, she tries to be a good example for her children so that they will look for women who are ready to be a good mother in the future. A good mother should have responsibility, forgiveness, adaptability. They should not see only beauty and cuteness because they will have their own child. If those women are not good mothers, the problems will occur.

Her husband as a father role is also very important to raise children. She said that he gives importance into music, art, and sport because it’s the activities that we can do together within family.

“My husband is very strict and made all 4 children to learn sport, music, and art on Saturday or Sunday. Children learnt these things because he wanted them to do something useful on their free time and to stay healthy physically and mentally.”, she told about her husband’s role.

Even though nowadays her second son; who is a Thai artist who is popular in Korea; makes her proud, she still concerns that he will lost his identity with fame and popularity.

“What I am afraid and concern is that he might forget he is just a human as same as everybody. So, she always tell Khun that, he is a person who may receive better chance than others but it is not his chance to look down on others at the same time.”, This is what she always says to her son.

So, there is nothing that makes parents proud and happy rather than seeing their children grow to be good and beloved by everybody. Moreover, it does not exaggerate to say that the success of children today is from the detail of raising them by their mother.

[Trans] CeCi Interview (Part 1) : Cover Story,SNS Talk




Kor-Eng: Haeda @2pmalways | Scanned by rangkat @junkayStreet

The 3rd Edition of 2PM

A thousand days since debut. It's already their third interview. My first sighting of them was that of joy, the second was of hardships and the end was of maturity. Boys have become deeper layer by layer and transformed into men in a thousand days.


The act of interviewing tends to have a one-off characteristic. During a certain period, for a certain reason (a new movie or drama, promoting new music would be the main reason) interviewers, as if they had been watching the interviewees for their entire lifetime, run into them like they understand everything. After securing one or two stories, interviews are always finished with a conclusion and make a judgement that 'so and so person is this sort of person'. For people with such missions (like me) are both sad and relieved of one-off interviews. At times you are impatient to know all the deep ends of your interviewees as if you've been seeing them often, but it is apparent that that's you don't have that deep relationship with them and that allows you to make a certain conclusion about that person with the limited material you have. But already a third interview. 2009 August, 2009 December and this one. I've been given an honour to meet 2PM face-to-face, at the very moment of their turning point.


Our first meeting was with 7 members including Jaebeom, where they were getting close to the audience as a friendly and funnier-than-comedians image while measuring the smell of people's feet or dressing up in awful costume and dancing to 'Abracadabra' on reality shows. I remember I was so seduced by the liveliness, playfulness, humourous and the laughs of men between boys and male animals that I wrote about the littlest things such as ① what they wear to bed, ② who's bottom they are jealous of, ③ which female idol they want to recruit to the group, and ④ who's the tidiest of all the members. It was an interview all about laughs and playfulness but just after 4 months, a syndrome became a scandal. A story of 6 members who were about to start their promotion for 'Heartbeat' in a month's time while all sorts of guesses and rumours were covering the internet after Jaebeom's withdrawal. It was an interview with a promise to not even bring up the letter 'w' of withdrawal and because I could see that confusions and pressure were pressing on the members' shoulders, I had to ask questions very carefully about 'what kept you going even though at a time like this'. I felt my heart become warm after hearing their truthful stories of ⑤ how they first came to dream, ⑥ the hardest moments through the long and tough times of training, and ⑦ things they had to give up because of the fact that they are 2PM. I felt their desperate desires when they left the joys of everyday life, friends, family and everything to make their dreams come true. After that, they've become a global superstar that no magazine was able to reach them.

A third meeting. An interview with all 6 members after one and a half years. I was having thoughts on what kind of interview they (the magazine) wanted me to do with them and randomly typed in 29 August 2008 (2PM's debut album release date) and 17 May 2011, when this June edition is being released, on a date calculating app on my smartphone. 991 days. Woah. I heard a BGM of '1000 days' by Lee Seunghwan playing inside my head. 1000 days of joy and events, glories and curves that carved these six mens to what they are now. I have a slight anticipation that I could possibly describe these young men into words. It could've been a self-delusion but nevertheless. Great fame of a year and a half could add strength to the shoulders and more power in the voice. They could've become different.

* * *

A brief explanation for readers who have not read the past interviews. ① Nichkhun wears only a pair of basketball shorts and no top. All the other members all just wear training pants and a t-shirt. Wooyoung and Junho wear the same brand trainers like a uniform, and Chansung has worn a dinosaur costume to bed for a week. All the hyungs (older brothers) agreed that the maknae's (younger brother's) departure from everyday life was 'a gross action due to lack of love'. ② It's been concluded that Junho's bottoms are the nicest. ③ Taecyeon chose Afterschool's Kahi, Junsu chose Uee, and Bekah for Wooyoung. A round-up conclusion of the members is that they need a powerful woman to do acrobatics. ④ Nickhun is a warm-hearted mum who says kind things when the members are sick, Wooyoung is a tough and determined mum that scolds but ends up tidying up him/herself, Teacyeon is a sleeping bear, Chansung is a monkey that messes up everything. During their training days with 2AM members, they had battles to fight for everyday things such as underwear and socks. ⑤ Wooyoung's eyes opened wide when he saw Michael Jackson's live concert in his first grade. He started to seriously train for dancing in his second year at middle school but was found out by his father and had to plead for permission and he did get it in the end. Junsu fell in love with Black (soul) music after watching a clip of 'A Song For' by Donny Hathaway, and Chansung thought he'd just become a Taekwondo instructor until he found out his true dreams when he first encountered 'dancing' and dreamt about it every single day. ⑥ Taecyeon injured his back when he fell from trying a flying skill called 'House' after he was told he cannot debut if he couldn't do acrobatics. He showed off his evidence of miracle to his doctor after succeeding acrobatics with his condition. Junsu had failed to debut 7 times after 4 years of training but gained confidence again when his middle school deputy principal left a message on his mini homepage saying 'you must overcome the hardships even if it means you sleep in front of someone else's door.' ⑦ Wooyoung chose dating. At that time he's never had an experience of dating someone, only just liking someone to himself. Taecyeon left a deep lingering thought by saying 'I don't know if I have the right to pursue for my happiness when many people are watching over me.'








SNS TALK with 2PM
@taectaec I heard you guys put money together to get a new dorm. How did you allocate the rooms? Paper scissors rock? In age order?
Junho This house is really special to us. We did everything ourselves from looking around different houses. Our previous dorm was so small so we just looked for a big place, where we can have a room to ourselves.
Wooyoung It's a double-storeyed house but we got rid of the gate on the first floor for security reasons. So we have to walk up all the way from the 4th floor underground carpark. We gave the first floor to Teacyeon and Junsu because they lived uncomfortably in the previous dorm and the younger ones are using the rooms on the second floor. So we're going up and down 5 sets of staircases everyday.
Chansung The cleanest room is Teacyeon's. There's only a bed in there. The most comfy room is Nichkhun's. The interior of his room is very nicely decorated. Junsu's room has the most items. He's sent a whole box full of things to his brother but his room is still very full. The most spacious room is Chansung's room. My room has no secrets because it's actually the living room divided by a free-standing wall. Everyone can see what's happening inside.
Junsu Our fans try not to come to our new dorm. It's so thankful they're keeping their etiquette and manners and I shall quietly send the message that I hope they will stay that way.

@0sotsot0 I’d like to know what is the most precious item each member treasures and the reason.
Nichkun My bag. I love bags with lots of pockets so I put snacks, chargers and daily necessities here and there. I can go out for a couple of days if I have this bag with me.
Wooyoung My desk in the new dorm. I become relaxed whenever I sit and read books or magazines. It reminds me of my schooling days. I guess it’s because it gives me a feeling of satisfaction that I have time to myself.
Junsu Fans have bought me a really nice keyboard for my birthday. I compose everynight using that and wow, it’s really awesome. It makes me enjoy composing.
Taecyeon I received a bicycle as a gift. The weather’s been nice so I’ve been riding on it quite often recently. I’d ride from Cheongdam-dong where our office is, towards Seonreung Station. Or go to Cheonho-dong via Jamsil Station, which are my main riding courses.
Junho I bought a new notebook recently when I was buying a t-shirt by the Garosu Street. It was a notebook worth the cost of 2 t-shirts, which was 95,000 won. I jot down some lyrics and thoughts, and it really makes me feel good.
Chansung A book called . I’m reading it with amaze because it deals with a theme that I’ve been having thoughts about for a very long time. You know when somebody stares at you and think ‘why are they staring me in that way’ and you feel bad yourself? But according to a scientific finding, it’s all about how you set your mind. It’s your own fault for thinking that person is staring you in a bad way. In the end it’s never good to blame other people. I’m learning things like that.’
@Jun2baKAY Which member would you wish your son didn’t resemble?
Taecyeon Does this mean we have to say bad things about the members? Haha. Then I’d pick Nichkhun! He makes the ladies feel bad because his manners are too good (to everybody). I wish my son wouldn’t let the girl go through a hard time.
Chansung Taecyeon is good at cooking. It’d be nice for my son to receive lots of love from his wife, but it wouldn’t be good if he used his skills to all the ladies. Dear son, please don’t be like that.
Junho Chansung plays games too much. He’s deeply into Civilization and Sudden Attack. (Chansung adds “I even bring my laptop to our schedule venue and play it sometimes” then immediately regrets.) My son, please don’t get into games too much.
Junsu, Wooyoung We vote for Chansung, too. Stop liking that games so much and give us some lovin’ too.
Nickhun I’ll pick Junho. He’s too fast-tempered. Spontaneous and a bit hot-tempered, too. But he knows it himself very well. I think he’ll become a much happier person if he would relax and enjoy a bit more!

[TRANS] 2PM @ "TOWER" May 20 Issue Front Cover Photoshoot Making

110525 2PM @ "TOWER" May 20 Issue Front Cover Photoshoot Making


2PM are featured on the cover of the May 20 issue of the free magazine "TOWER," distributed in Tower Records stores, in commemoration of the release of their Japan debut single "Take off." Named "K-POP's Strongest Beast Idols," what is Asia's No.1 boy group really like......? Here is the full behind-the-scenes coverage of the photoshoot!

The cold had yet to remain for another 3 months and 10 days when 2PM held their photoshoot at a certain place in the metropolitan area during an interval in their hectic schedule. The 6 boys surprised the staff with their Japanese skills, greeting them with phrases such as "Hello!" and "Please take care of us!" while moving into their designated spots.




First was the staircase area. They decided their facial expressions at the same time the camera turned to face them, the members all changing their poses to match the pace of the sound of the (camera) shutter. Just what you would expect of Asia's No.1 boy group!




The place changes just a little, to the top of the stairs this time. As they talked to the staff, they were each calmed down......?






Next is taking photos of the towel for the 2PM x Tower Records collaboration goods. This towel, which sold out in the blink of an eye, really suits the member's appearance. In the middle of taking pictures, Taecyeon used those around him to study up on his Japanese.




The 6 boys held a friendly chat while the equipment was being set up. Even here they were enthusiastically flinging Japanese words about. Moodmakers Junho and Chansung would sometimes include gestures and tell jokes. Watching the 2 of them talking to each other rapidly released any tension in the air.






It continued on with photographing them sitting in chairs. The members were somehow able to relax their facial expressions.




Chatting while writing their autographs on the Tower Records apron. During this, the members also scribbled heart shapes and pictures of each other. The cameraman tried to photograph them spontaneously.



(Ah, Taecyeon noticed...)




As soon as he glanced over this way, Taecyeon turned back around to face the other members. The cameraman had a feeling of relief, too(?).





The photoshoot ended safely! Afterwards they signed the collaboration towel.





Tower Records stores had a visual campaign (A HAPPY WINTER SALE) with 2PM from November 2010 until the beginning of 2011. At this time, they all signed the poster that's been hanging in the shop. Wooyoung was the first to sign a message. When he has trouble with the pen's ink not coming out, the other members hand over a different pen without a moment's delay.




Nichkhun is signing next to Junsu. The 6 of them are so close that even their breathing matches. The smooth photographing of them in this peaceful mood was quite impressive.

These photos are from the free magazine "TOWER" May 20 Issue that's being distributed in Tower Records stores, so please check it out!
