Hi Everyone, sorry I haven't had any time in posting or lurking lately. Been super busy and hard to get away from my supervisor's eagle eye. Now that she is not here, I can have a little break. I'm glad to see this thread is still alive and kicking with some new members too.
When Taec mention Shin Hye in the radio show, it surprised me since he is known to be a private guy too. Shin Hye and Taec never posted TMAD pics in their Twitter or IG (except Taec's curry dish from TMAD in Shin Hye's IG). Then surprised me when Shin Hye posted Taec's food truck during her Doctors drama. I was hoping she would send something back to Taec just like what she did with Hyung and another of her female friend. The way Taec mention about Shin Hye in the radio show make it seem like he doesn't have her phone number and he is trying to reach out to her. But then he could have done it privately since TMAD Pd must have Shin Hye's phone number. Because of this public confession, it can back fire on him since Shin Hye is very careful not to cause any rumors. She is very private person. Also sort of funny that he mention that there is only 2 years age gap between him and Shin Hye. (Wonder if he mention the age gap since there was a 9 year age gap in her drama and real life costar KRW). I can say Shin Hye also gets along with KRW (is Taec feeling the competition and so act out of character???....hence the public confession?)
Anyways here is Taec's latest article from Soompi.
2PM’s Taecyeon’s Determination To Enlist As An Active Duty Soldier Receives Attention
by: crystalcove, October 3, 2016, Soompi
2PM’s Taecyeon comments on his upcoming military enlistment.
Idol and actor Taecyeon will feature on the October 3 episode of “Please Take Care of My Refrigerator.” During his guest spot, he talks about his upcoming conscription, revealing it will likely be early next year. Amidst the general public’s negative perception of celebrity soldiers, Taecyeon’s determination to be an active duty soldier, instead of a public service worker, receives the most attention on the show. Taecyeon confirms that he had back surgery twice in order to be an active duty soldier, although he had already been determined by the government as only fit to be a public service worker.
When asked if he isn’t scared about his military enlistment, Taecyeon honestly replies that he is both scared and worried since he doesn’t have a lot of time left until then. “But I think I made the right decision,” adds Taecyeon.
Previously, it was revealed that Taecyeon had given up his United States Permanent Resident status so that he can serve in the Korean military.
Hi Sis@Yummiejeu
Thanks for this post. Like, you I was delighted with the news that Taec openly expressed his interest in Shin Hye after more than a year of appearing together in TMAD. I was also excited with the news that he sent a coffee truck to Shin Hye but I know nothing will follow after that because Shin Hye will definitely not reveal anything as she has said before that she will never date publicly.
I was just a bit disappointed that some fans kept saying Shin Hye is not interested in Taec and all the TMAD interactions were just for the rating thus she did not reciprocate by sending food or coffee truck during his Let's Fight Ghost filming or even during 2PM comeback on music shows. Reportedly, she sent food to Beast during the group's comeback as one of the members is one of her friends and also sent her coffee and food trucks.
Also quite frustrated that I don't think Taec and Shin Hye will ever get a chance to work together before his enlistment because she is busy shooting her movie and he will also be starting to shoot for his new film. Timing is never friendly to my two favorite Korean celebrities.
And other shippers were already having a field day when Taec's pics with his former TV wife (Taiwanese star Guigui) surfaced as she launched her solo singing career in Korea. A video showing Taec walking beside Girls Generations including Yoona, during a music show also revive the Taecyoon ship and lastly the PalJi shippers (with Kim So-hyun of Let's Fight Ghost) are still active in posting pics from the drama and urging him not to easily forget her.
The only thing that's keeping me rooting for the two was that Taec bravely admitted his admiration for Shin Hye and that he misses her, and he made hints about it not only once, during his appearance in that MBC radio show hosted by his "mum" in Wonderful Days.
