2PM members during their Hi-touch event in Japan








Taec in plain white t-shirt looks handsome

Hello ladies!

TVN and JYPE confirmed the casts for "Let's Fight Ghosts) (funny, other articles had confirmed Taec's as leading man two days ago )

Anyways, there are still negative comments saying its was a miscasting on the part of the Taec because he does not have a "loser" aura of the character. Poor Taec being criticised for being too handsome, giving off a reliable aura, too tall and too manly

Well, I think the reason why he snatched the role from the "more deserving" actors is to fight ghost you have to be drop dead gorgeous and Taec fits the bill

Even in just plain white tee-shirt or just plain white polo-shirt, he looks dashing

Guess Taec is resting with Eddie before going to Japan again for the concert this weekend. If he had let Eddie's fur grow, he will be the splitting image of Minki.

Thanks sis@journoexpat for your posts. Taec does look good in just T-shirt and jeans but I also like him in suit. He fit so well in suits and look so manly. I've seen many actors wear suits but it look the best on him (also looks good on Woo Bin too), guess because of his broad shoulders. I guess he can't be model for too many companies since he will enlist in the military soon and can't commit himself for long term.

Funny about what you posted about complaints about his casting in the drama and the reason for it.

Hi ladies, this thread has been stagnant he he he.

It is not yet half of the year but Taecyeon and 2PM have been blessed with some projects and achievements.

I heard that their Galaxy of 2PM has reached more than 100k sales so is already certified gold.

Here's a pic after their recent pic in Fukuoka.




I think I have to agree with some loyal fans of Taec that in this photo, he looks like he can be Clark Kent/Superman Did he even get bulkier or just his pose?

Hi sis@journoexpat, thanks for your posts. Been busy lately with deadline coming up. I'm glad 2pm is doing good in Japan. He does look good in T-shirt. I like those photos for Audi. He gives out a different vibe in those pictures. The first picture is like a bad boy image. The last picture is like a sexy man image. All we need now is a Ok Bingu image.

INTERVIEW




TAECYEON

Born on December 27th, 1988. Blood type AB. 185cm tall.
Composed "TEASER" putting a positive feeling to the uptempo melody for 2PM's new album. Being caught up with his cousin's baby who was born last year. "I feel marriage is a little closer to me whenever I meet her."

My room where I've been living together with my family since 4 years ago hasn't changed since my childhood, he said with an embarrassed grin. "There is not much stuff in my room. Bed, wardrobe and... some textbooks from when I was a student." His most valued treasures are portraits and photos from his fans on the wall. "When I take those home with me, my mother is happy and decorates my room with them. It may be said that those are the best for the interior." By the way, cleaning his room is also his mother's job. As for Japan, there are many boys who hate having their mother enter their room though... "Eh? They do!? But my room would be a mess if my mother didn't do that," he said, laughing energetically showing his white teeth. He lives together with his older sister too. Therefore "I don't have any visions about women's rooms, "he said distinctly. "I intend to know the real state of women's rooms (laughs). Though, I want women to live in an adult-like room appropriate for their age. Simple furniture, a full-length mirror, of course putting 2PM's posters on the wall is a must! Am I right?". He said with serious eyes, after having suddenly switched from the playful look, "But the most important thing is her personality. A woman who has a sense of conversation and can talk about various things on an equal basis is nice. Their intelligence too, to say nothing of their personality. ...Well, am I cheesy!?". And, his extraordinary smile popped on his face again.

OK TAECYEON'S HONEST INTERVIEW WITH 'ALLURE'
3/15/16
Cr: 2PMedia









2PM Taecyeon "Enlisting the army next year, I will work hard for this year's actvities"
Source: Sports Joseon via NAVER

2PM Ok Taecyeon launches a level of mature manly radiance.

On the 25th, beauty & lifestyle magazine 'Allure Korea' released the April issue of Taecyeon's pictorial and interview.

Through this pictorial, Taecyeon showed a level of mature manliness. Within the smooth atmosphere, he could not hide his sexiness from his beastly image.

Taecyeon honestly shared his thoughts upon being ten years since 2PM's debut as a singer, entertainer, and actor.

Taecyeon expressed his affection and trust toward his 2PM members. "If I pursued my singer and/or actor career on my own, my personality would differ from now. I am able to work happily, because I started with my members together."

For dramas and variety show activities, " I am recognized at a kindergarten thanks to 'Three Meals'. Kindergarten students do not know 2PM, but they know 'OkBingu'"

Taecyeon, a resident of the United States, will be planning busy activities this year with his upcoming enlistment next year. He expressed his ambition by saying, "As a citizen, I am going to participate in mandatory military service. I will work hard this year, and create memories before enlistment."

2PM will proceed with their Japan tour this year from April.

[+1430 -69] I have to support him if he's enlisting when he doesn't have to.

[+854 -27] He has a good personality, positive, and vibrant, so I think he will do well in the army..

[+719 -24] Have a good trip. It seems like you raised Eddie well

[+638 -57] As the same 88'er, good luck~~~ I already came back eight years ago~~~

[+492 -29] Let's showcase good acting this year, and next year let's go awesomely

[+223 -8] Don't pick on him. The biggest victim within the celebrities from the entire army issue is Ok Taecyeon. When he was too young to enlist, his personal physical examination records were released, and he got picked on for being directed to public service. Anyways, he's going to serve now.

[+184 -7] It wasn't because of his United States residency, but it was because of the iron rods in his arm, his herniated disc, and his bad vision that stopped him. Now he's enlisting after correcting his eyesight, receiving treatments for his herniated disc, and removing the iron rods. He applied for the military three times and had examinations, but he was rejected. He reapplied, and got accepted to an active service position. This is good for him and impressive, so it is something that he should be supported for.

[+169 -10] Was he the citizen from the United States in the documentary 'People Are Good'? He enlisting after he gave his citizenship up. He doesn't have to enlist, but it's nice to see that he gave it up on his own. I hope he has a good service.

[+171 -12] American citizens don't enlist, but Mr. OkBingu~ It's a bit late for your age, but return as a cooler man.
