I only know the meaning of "Ok" in his name which means "JADE" but for his first name, I couldn't get right answer. All i see is silly meaning I also can't believe it's legit.

KBS released the second teaser for 2015 Road of Hope which features Our Mr. Sunshine.

Here's the first teaser:


Second:


Some of the pictures:




What I noticed about this pic aside from Taec being very sad about the situation of the children, is the MILLET cap Taec is wearing (who's the model of Millet? Hehehe, probably it's available on the filming set?? , don't mind me)

Thanks sis@marthcec15 for the video but unfortunately I can't view it in my country. I guess I will have to wait a little later for someone to post it elsewhere. I am looking forward to watching this documentary.

In one of his pictures, he looked so sad. I felt like crying too just looking at his eyes. When I saw the picture when he was in the cave with the kids mining, it reminded me when Shin Hye was with the kids in Nepal where she was with them with their rock mine (breaking rocks) and she was sad too.

I finally found the video when she was in Nepal.

Hi sis@fgnuva, Taec first joined Superstar Survival by JYP, he said when he was contacted to come to Seoul after he passed an audition in New York, he asked for his parents' permission and his parents told him to live his life to the fullest.

He was the first to be eliminated out of the final 12, followed by his now bandmate Chansung. The winner was Junho, now also a member of 2PM. It was reported that Junho was surprised to see both Taec and Chansung back in JYP office when they were about to start "Hot Blood Men". I guess JYP saw something special in both Taec and Chansung that's why they were invited back. Taec has no experience in dancing, singing and acting during those times. He was studious and even said that studying for him was the easiest thing to do

Taec was chosen to be with 2PM after he joined "Hot Blood Men", a documentary about their training days. JYP first formed the group One Day which was later broken into 2 groups : 2PM and 2AM.

This is the reason why Taec sent encouragement to eliminated girls in the survival show Sixteen, he told them that like them, he was also eliminated from such a show but he persevered and worked hard thus being eliminated should not mean the end of your dream

Thanks sis@Marthcec15 for Taec's teaser videos. So his documentary is the first part of the 3-part series of voluntary works by various artistes in different countries.

I am anticipating this Taec's documentary, and I pray that it will not just reap high rating but also will make a great impact and will move people to help these children and perhaps for the international bodies to stop child labor in these salt mines.

Hats off to Taec and the production crew as they did not hesitate and did not think of their safety as they went deep into the salt mines.

The teasers reminded me of the idiom "going back to the salt mines" meaning you are resuming a task that is unappealing, perhaps a work which requires long hours and is taxing on the person. And you can see, that what the children are doing are really back-breaking and very dangerous.

Thanks sis@yummiejeu for this Shin Hye's video. Volunteerism is another thing in common shared by Taec and Shin Hye. Nope not shipping just stating a fact

and sis@marthcec15, you have eyes like a hawk:) Thanks to you, I did notice that Taec was wearing a MILLET cap, perhaps he liked the style Again not shipping, just being factual

[+126 -3] I like the positive image. I hope that he becomes successful and continues doing good works. I'm supporting the members as well

[+123 -4] Even for the military, he gave up his green card and received surgery to be accepted for active duty. He was happy for being accepted after three attempts. What a awesome, young man!

[+117 -4] Even participates in community serviceㅎㅎ Awesome! Taecyeon, you know that I'm always supporting and loving you right?❤️

[+115 -4] How nice Taecyeon!!♡

[+98 -2] A overseas community service documentary will suit Taecyeon's fair image well. I feel like he actively worked and I'm anticipating on image after!^^

[+96 -3] Ok Taecyeon is famous for his good humanism. He's at a level that Lee SeoJin, who does not compliment others, praised him to Na PD, who cast him.

[+68 -3] It's just my opinion, but JYP artists tend to have good humanism.

Thanks sis @yummiejeu for the translated article from Naver. Glad to read that many Knets are expressing their love to Mr. Sunshine

V Live already released the subbed episode of Taec's surprise broadcast. You guys should watch it, just download the V app either in iOS or Andriod.

vlive.tv/video/3983

The Youtube version is not subbed



If you can't download the V app, here's a little summary: Taec is so funny in the broadcast, he was told to read the script for the broadcast and he read it but he is correcting it, like in the script it read that he is travelling, he corrected the staff who wrote the script that he is not travelling. He said he is resting, practicing, meeting friends and having many 'water' (drinking) plans with friends, he played golf but he says golf is very hard, his hands are full of blisters and filming for KBS 'Road of Hope' . Taec is very cute in his broadcast
