In 2013, I’ve visited Tokyo to watch 2PM's Tokyo Dome concert. And after the concert, I met with the 2PM members at a wrap-up party, while it was notable that Nichkhun, one of the most handsome k-pop idol stars attended the party with his old worn-out shirt on. Of course, he still looked very good in the old-fashioned shirt, but I was very surprised in some way because most of idol stars like to wear expensive and fashionable clothes. Well, after exchanging a few words with him, I could know what kind of person he is and why he wore such a shabby shirt. He was a man without pretense and didn’t put on a front. And he didn’t behave like a celebrity either. Instead, he talked candidly with everyone. Nichkhun is well known for his good-hearted personality. He is very polite and is kind to everyone. However, there’s a little-known detail of the mild-eyed idol star’s real personality. Actually, he is very manly and is one of the most masculine man among all the k-pop idol star...

Q. You finally made a comeback as a solo singer. It has been five and a half years since you released your first mini album in 2012. Wooyoung: I'm filled with emotion. Of course, I feel pressured to do well, but I'm really happy that I can introduce my music to many people. Q. Tell me about your title track. Wooyoung: The title track "Ddook" is a song about a man who is in the sorrow of parting but promises himself he will never cry again. (“Ddook” is a Korean onomatopoeia that indicates a sudden stop or drop, and is often used to tell someone to stop crying) Thanks to Park Jin Young's advice, I could upgrade the song. Q. When do you think 2PM will make a comeback? Wooyoung: Since all the members have to fulfill military duty, it will take 4-5 years, I think. I'm thinking of joining the army later this year. I've been trying to concentrate on my work because I'm a member of 2PM and I didn't want to cause damage to my team, but frankly spe...

On September 11, a press conference for JTBC's new web drama "Magic School" was held in Seoul. The drama is about people who learn magic for different reasons, while various JYP artists including 2PM's Nichkhun, GOT7's Jinyoung, actor Yoon Park and Shin Eunsoo star in the drama. The JYP artists attended the press conference, of course. So check out what Nichkhun and Jinyoung talked about their web drama and acting. Nichkhun In the drama, I play Jun, who was adopted to the United States and became a doctor. He learns magic because he wants to give hope to a girl who had incurable disease. I've appeared in some Chinese and Japanese dramas, but it's my first time to appear in a Korean drama. That's why I've been hard at work on the drama, and I practiced speaking Korean really hard. Some people just don't know, but you know, I'm a foreigner who can speak Korean a little bit. At first, Jun was a Korean, but the director of the dra...

Sad news for 2PM's fans. 2PM's Taecyeon joined the army on September 4. The idol star will be trained at the recruit training center of white horse unit for 6 weeks and will do his military service for about two years. By the way, he is now winning the praise of many Korean people. Do you know why? You know, in Korea, all able-bodied men over 19 are required to serve in the military for 20 months. The constitution clearly states that every Korean citizen has the right, as well as the obligation, to serve in the military without any discrimination. Famous k-pop stars are no exception. However, 20-month-long compulsory military service is an unavoidable source of trouble for Korea's young men since they must suspend their studies in colleges or quit jobs at the peak of their youth. Especially, for k-pop stars, who tend to have short careers, compulsory military service is exactly what they want to avoid. However, Taecyeon, who is well known for his great personali...
