Just finished watching the 2 parts of the documentary. It's a good 80-90 minute show... and it's well done too! The emcees and Taecyeon's descriptions of his experiences... explaining things to the hosts. And he wears that sad, almost worried look which the lady host kind of picks up. He seems to wear it the whole time... during the show.

In the documentary his light-hearted personal picks up when he takes the girl shopping, when he's talking to the boys in the mine (is that lithium?) and when he's meeting the kids in the school, and passing the tokens to them.

All in all the show was well-done...balance between the actual footages and the interview with the "eyewitness" (Taecyeon).

(Sidebar: He could very well pursue a political career or humanitarian kind of work. could he be a UN Secretary-General of the future? I'd say he'll definitely qualify. What do you think sisters @journoexpat, @yummiejeu, @sidy, @martchcec15, @avrylle, and other dear sisters reading this?)

I think you're right sis@journoexpat, it is a series, and the next one is with Son Ho-jun who appeared in 3 Meals. His documentary is set in Africa, I think.. and it's child labor still.

Hope everyone is safe and is having a good rest for the past week's labor. Happy week-end sisters!

Thanks sis@fgnuva for the videos! I haven't got the chance to watch Taec's documentary but I'd say he is qualified for UN Secretary General in the future, just like what he said why he took up International Studies for his masteral studies and not Business, he wants to use his popularity to influence and contibute to change in his little way.

Found this article, makes me so very proud of Mr.Sunshine, much,much love for him That's aside from being called "Nation's Son-in Law by Knets and international fans agree.




[TRANS] 151211 Lady KyungHyang - 2015 Keywords of the Year!


Son of the Year, OK TAECYEON

The hot-blood worker of 'Three Meals' Jeongseon edition, Ok Bingu. With muscles and brain, this person, who exhibits the dopy naivety of a straight A student and is reliable, made even the single ladies think "I want to have a son like that" although they might've been crazy about "Rip Taecyeon" before. It's to the point you want to poke his mother and ask her to write a manual on "How to have a son like Ok Taecyeon."

Taec and some of 2pm members are back to Korea after supporting Jun K.'s concert last night and here are his airport pics. Look at that fashion, I think he's the best dressed 2pm member now.

Thanks sis @marthcec15 for the pics and link...
Yes our Mr Bingu of 3MAD is now a fashion icon. No matter what he wears he always looks good! In the pics you posted he was wearing shirt with jacket and pants with boots. Accentuated by a cap and glasses.
You know my guess is he really lacked sleep arriving back in SKorea that's why he wore dark glasses and a kind of serious expression.
Any more events coming up other than his OkCat concerts around Christmas?

Wow sisters a couple of weeks and it's the new year 2016.
Looking back I should say we really had a great year. Never mind the "unhappy" events that caused a stir among us...For PSH she had had some interesting public appearances and she was followed during her European tour and fan mtg events. Her appearance (twice at that, 4 episodes) in 3 MAD gave us many laughs and brought much delight and enjoyment for many hours even if we watched them over and over again...
As for Mr. Bingu turned Mr Sunshine and lately Mr social work Advocate, he had many events that all left a mark in our hearts and minds. 3MAD alone all 17 episodes of Season 2 meant many months of traveling for weekend shoots in Oksunbong, how he shaped that heart on the field, planted the veggies potatoes corn and other plants in the greenhouse, preparing meals for guests. While it made us all sad they had to wrap up the series we have many delightfully entertaining episodes and scenes to watch when we miss the 3 brothers and the "unofficial couple of Oksunbong.
Then there's Assembly which many of us faithfully followed week after week for a span of what, 4 months?
Then the release of their My House album...some of us may have enjoyed all 7 or 8 video clips...
There were his modeling pics and video clips.
Lately of course his appearance in the Blue Dragon awards and his participation in the KOIKA event.
Of course their series of concerts in Japan last October. Though many of us may not seen the concerts we were monitoring his departure and arrival at the airport with photos posted by fans.
Just last Friday evening we saw a different side of Mr Sunshine from his documentary film about Bolivia and the tv interview.
Now before the year ends he'll entertain us again (if we're lucky to get hold of video clips) when he does his OkCat Christmas show.
Honestly sisters I've never followed a celeb this intently before (and probably won't have the same energy to follow any other) except for PSH. I did follow LMH (yes sisters I was MinShin fan) and JYH (yes I confess I followed the YongShin for a while after the London date news broke out)...but only the Oksunbong farmer got me this involved with discussions ha! ha! (posting early in the morning after waking up, late at night before bed, in between meetings, etc. And while it has consumed much time I'd consider the discussions and insights shared to be enriching with stuff I'd not get anywhere else maybe. The Mr Sunshine is worth our "study" and I think many of us are a lot richer as persons after this year of exchanges. I know I am.
So thanks sisters for a fun year together even with you sister-lurkers...maybe we'll continue thru the next year?
Have a good week everyone it's the 3rd week of Advent for many of us. And this week is "Gaudete" or Rejoicing. It's the week of Joy! Blessings!

Thank you for this article sis@Marthcec15. I saw this article and translated it using google translate and I barely understood the translation

But, I agree with the article, Taec is all that: brawn and brains with a dash( okay , a lot ) of goofiness yet dependable, respectful, cheerful and humble. I bet it is all because of the way he was brought up. The optimism and cheerfulness, most probably came from the mother and while the reliability came from his father, who is Taec's idol. Everything came from the way his parents brought him up. Based on his own statement that when he asked his parents' permission to go try his luck to be an "idol", his parents told him to live his life to the fullest thus his positive outlook in life at the same time Taec also does not want to bring shame to his parents thus him being responsible and considerate

And if ever his mother would come out with a manual on how to have a son like Taec, I would definitely buy it

Hi sis@fgnuva, I should confess that like you, I have never followed any artiste as closely as I follow Taec's activities This, because I found him so interesting unlike other idols. I am sorry to say that I was not fascinated by other Korean actors his peer, even when everyone was raving about Lee Min Ho (even saw him in person) and Lee Jong Suk, about their looks and how good they are as actors, I did not find them interesting. I do not find myself smiling or having this "feel good" vibe whenever I see them on TV, or watch their dramas ( though never able to finish any of their dramas but watch a few episodes) or see their photos. Despite their popularity, they never piqued my curiosity. This, perhaps as they are always looking so perfect and evasive. Again, I apologize to the fans of these two among our sisters here, but I am using them as examples since they are the most popular Korean actors not only in their country but overseas as well thus using them as example actually attest to their popularity

I found Taec enormously likeable when I started watching 3 meals a day last year. By accident I saw a video teaser of their first episode, which I find boring but uncannily funny Then I realized that the young man in the show is the young man who used to be so ripped and the one who always had this fierce look while ripping his shirt. But in that show, he was like any other young man, funny and so obedient to his elder brother and caring to that wisp of a dog

I think because of Taec's eyes always having that hint of mischief and his facial expressions are so transparent were the first reasons why I find him so endearing, but as I learned more about him, I have grown to admire and respect him.

And I am very thankful to this forum and to Shin Hye's appearances at TMAD that I found like-minded sisters that equally appreciate and happy seeing and knowing things about this young man

@ journoexpat - I couldn't have said it any better.......I agree with you and fgnuva 100%. I find him an extraordinary, likable and engaging young man!

something to perk us up this busy Monday morning (thanks to Angela Sofu?)


sis@journoexpat, and sis@sidy this is the Taecyeon we've come to love.. look at the eyes that spell a hidden mischievous boy, the tongue that tells you he is ready to taste almost anything that life throws at him, the hands that carry food, as he always seems to have an appetite, the face that seems to have caught all the sunbeams,... the casual dress including the hat... THIS is the Taecyeon that has endeared himself to many....
