*** They will all have to go to military before they reach 30 years old, anyway. Taec was always & has been that manly. I guess he’s referring that Taec didn’t cry at all or misty-eyed.

Junho discusses how it felt to watch Taecyeon going off to the military

 

 

2PM's Junho recently held an interview after successfully wrapping up his JTBC drama 'Just Between Lovers'.

 

On the topic of mandatory military enlistment, Junho said, "The hyungs are in the stages of enlisting, slowly. We plan on going one by one. I'm not set on a specific time [to enlist] but I think it will have to be soon. I don't know if it'll be next year or later, but I'm preparing little by little." 

 

Junho also talked about Taecyeon, who was the first 2PM member to enlist.  He said, "He was the first one of us, so we all went and sent him off. I witnessed a kind of manliness you can't normally witness. He looked cool, and I thought, 'Was this hyung always this manly?'" 

 

He also added, "I wanted him to come back safely. When the staff members each bid him farewell, he started joking that he wasn't going to come back, and that pulled my heartstrings. I do miss him, since I've seen him for 10 years but I don't get to see him now for 2. I wasn't able to go visit him before because of filming, but I plan on going this month." 

 

What do you think 2PM will be like as soldiers?

*** Ahhh............NICE - & best news today so far because I miss seeing them all together. I'm really excited & super joy to see 2PM can perform together again.    I wonder if when they're performing, though.... I wish it will be on the opening ceremony, which is on the 9th. Although, I have a feeling that it will be on the finale'.....

Taecyeon To Join 2PM For Performance As Full Group At Pyeongchang Winter Olympics

 

 

2PM will be performing as a full group for the first time since Taecyeon’s enlistment at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics!

 

On February 3, Wooyoung confirmed that Taecyeon would be joining 2PM for their performance at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics Headliner Show.

 

“Together with Taecyeon, who is currently serving in the military, we have received a great opportunity as it is a national event,” remarked Wooyoung. “Thank you for giving us this opportunity [to perform]. In the spirit of cheering on the athletes who are participating in the Olympics, we, along with Taecyeon, will put on a great performance.”

 

2PM’s performance at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics Headliner Show, which will take place on February 19, will also be their first since the members’ recent renewal of their contracts with JYP Entertainment.

 

“As it turns out, we will all be staying together as 2PM forever,” commented Jun.K. “We were able to stick together up until now because each of us had trust in one another.”

 

He added, “We are grateful to our fans.”

 

Are you excited to see 2PM reunite as a full group? Leave your thoughts below!

*** Finally…………….I’ve done watching his last drama, “Save Me” - Taecyeon’s final project before his mandatory army enlistment. Whew! That was one wild ride! “Save Me” is a welcome departure from all the usual Korean dramas about time travel, immortal boyfriends, arrogant rich guys and women looking for revenge. Just like past dramas on the OCN channel, “Save Me” felt more like a movie than your regular Korean drama because of the cinematography.  I remember Taecyeon mentioned in an interview that this drama has a huge cast that is almost like epic sageuk proportions. The drama also has many new young faces that I’m seeing for the first time. Like Seo Ye Ji, she was fantastic as Im Sang Mi. She is the definition of a strong and brave woman here. I have to say, this drama made me seriously uncomfortable! Not in a bad way so to speak, but because of how incredibly disturbing the cult is. While this may be a realistic portrayal of cults, all these amounted to a rather stressful watch that was mentally draining. Although every episode begins with a disclaimer that the religion portrayed in the drama is a fictitious one, there is no denying that the cult is based heavily on Christianity. This is a thriller genre that’s almost like a horror movie. The drama really set the dark and creepy tone from the first moment and continued it throughout. I was particularly moved by the subtle yet powerful moments between Sang Mi and Sang Hwan when she asked to be saved. It was heartbreaking watching a family be torned apart and destroyed by the cult. Sang Mi’s family becomes completely integrated into the cult leaving her with nowhere to go. The amount of control the cult had over its members was very sad. Those who do break the rules are punished so severely. It’s scary to see what this sort of mind manipulation can do to people. One thing in particular that I really enjoyed was that a group of normal guys was able to come together to do the right thing and help Sang Mi against all odds. It’s very heartening to see them bond together and work as team. “Save Me” was a truly fantastic drama.

Hi TheaN, thanks for sharing this. So, Taecyeon will be emceeing concerts at the Gangneung Art Center on February 14 and 15. Ye, along with Im Si Wan & other fellow 9th Armed Forces Division soldiers, they will also be taking part in the opening ceremony of a cultural performance while wearing various animal masks. Taecyeon will also join 2PM members at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics Headliner show. So awesome I can see him during this event.

[willenette]

*** This is COOL news! A real bonding this time for them. I can't wait to see this. I'm happy that Taec is set to participate in the  event for the '2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics'. He is serving as an instructor at the 9th Division White Horse Training Facility right now.

*** I hope to those who haven't watched his last drama , "Save me" yet, please do so - it's a good series. “Save Me” plays up the bad qualities of people. Also, what the show tackles is the silence of sexual harassment victims. Although, there is no outright genital touching or nudity shown onscreen. “Save Me” is very intriguing and dark — I’m happy that this drama has ended its impressive run. I’m impressed by the unique story's non-stop intensity. And I'm glad that Taec was part of this drama.

[willenette]

*** Im Siwan and Taecyeon will both participate in an event with 170 members of the military on February 15 in 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. I’m looking forward to this event.

Who are the top 35 male idols with the most songs copyrighted under their name?

 

It's no surprise that G-Dragon tops the list of male idols with the most copyrights under his name.

 

A fan compiled the list of male idols with the most copyrights under his name according to the Korea Music Copyright Association. This means an idol has either composed, produced, and/or written lyrics for the song.

 

You can check out the list below.

Language Masters: Multilingual K-pop Idols

 

K-pop idols are so talented when it comes to dancing and singing but they're also talented in many other areas. Not only do they spend years training, practicing, composing, dancing, performing, but they are also spending so many years learning. One important thing they learn is languages. Here are some amazing idols that are fluent in multiple languages.

 

8. Taecyeon

 

 

 

Taecyeon immigrated to America when he was in elementary school which resulted in him being able to speak English, Korean, Spanish, and Chinese very well. When he came to be an idol he started learning Japanese to connect with those fans as the group is quite popular in Japan. He even wrote lyrics in Spanish for "Traicion."
