At age 27 (this coming Dec 27th), Taecyeon would have met many nice ladies, under varied circumstances, in different types of working relationships.... so he's probably just sifting through the roster and thinking who among them would be his best match.

He's an accomplished performer, a businessman, a bankable model (sales of Kiehl's cream went up after Taecyeon's endorsement), a graduate degree candidate... not to mention a relatively good cook (who can certainly work in a tripe barbecue restaurant owned by the parents of a well-known actress)... he will be able to provide for a family should he decide to start one (maybe after his conscription?).

Found this Esquire video that Taec attended. Coincidentally Lee Hong Ki (Shin Hye's friend from Ft Island) and Lee Hyung Sik (from Heirs) also attended. Lee Hong Ki look so serious though, like a model in high fashion. All of them look great.

Wooah sis@fgnuva, you are on a roll again Thanks for all these videos and of course your thoughts about them

I love this particular video since as usual you can see that Taec played the song perfectly for his first try and for the rest of their challenge, he was the only one who did not commit any mistake. His fellow members listen to him and I think really has that leadership quality

For this video, you can tell that Taec is really a quick thinker and smart, no elaborate body language and sign but simple words that the boy easily understood, and he was so correct in saying he "can talk to the kids". I thin he was the best in this challenge and the best in this episode.

And this was one of the videos I recommended for Sis@Sidy when she wanted to analyze his personality. Taec is really so patient and tolerant. He did not even lose his temper despite being hit 100 times, licked at ( although he seemed to have been grossed out by it), spit on by one of the members, he even hit his head on the car's ceiling ( self-inflicted being too tall) and continued with his hosting.

Here is the actual video of Taec at KOICA. It look like he is comfortable doing public speech.

Sis @yummiejeu thanks for the Esquire video clip. Which one was Lee HongKi? The first one on the video? He looked different. Wasn't Lee Hongki the Jeremy in You're Beautiful?

Taecyeon looked like he could give European male models a run for their money the way he wore that coat.

Ah yes sis@journoexpat Mr Sunshine does relate well with kids doesn't he?
The way he played London Bridge on the recorder would make us think he's been playing the instrument that's why he could easily find them with his fingers.
About the "prank" video yes I recall you did mention something about that before I didn't realize this was the one you referred to that time. Poor Taecyeon his thigh must have been achy.
They were much younger then... Maybe these days they're older and bit more "tame" together.

Were you the one who also noted their dancing has less acrobatics movements? I guess it's kind of related to age.. They're bit older muscles bones may not be as flexible as few years ago. Plus their audience may have also matured with them.
I notice for myself the adulation comes and goes. There's a period I like the dancing loud music even screaming was so natural. As I grew older I looked for other things like message of the song facial expressions even personality, demeanor and social skills. I'm glad when we discovered Taecyeon he is at this age when he's done other things than what he's usually done as a performer with 2PM.
Certainly his 3MAD series showed us a lot about his inner person.. And dramas like Dream High, Wonderful Day and Assembly showed he can take on dramatic scenes too.
Looking back from the time he auditioned and was recruited in the US when he was a young boy (teener I think) and now looking at him as a young man doing more than just entertainment he's really matured. Probably not completely yet...(his military service might bring him to that point) but what he's done so far is quite something.

Sis @yummiejeu thanks for the KOICA video clip. Is there any info as to what Taecyeon said or what his speech was about? And it seemed there were others who spoke?
I notice here he didn't bow as much as introductions were being made. He simply smiled and nodded.
