[News] 2PM to teach Korean on Japanese TV channel NHK

2012-03-01T13:59:00.003-08:00

It has been recently announced that 2PM will be teaching Korean to Japanese viewers on Japan's NHK channel!

2PM attended the official press conference for 'Korean Courses through TV,' which was held at the NHK headquarters in Shibuya (Tokyo) on February 29th.

At the press conference, Chansung revealed his feelings about their first fixed Japanese appearance, saying, "At first, we were really surprised. We were worrying about how to teach Korean well, but when we were recording today all those worries disappeared, and we had a lot of fun." Wooyoung added, "We are grateful for this opportunity, and we will try very hard to make learning Korean enjoyable for everyone."

On learning Korean, Thai member Nichkhun commented, "It may seem kind of weird that I'm teaching Korean, but the more you write and use Korean, the more your skills improve." He jokingly added, "The more love you show 2PM, the better your Korean skills will get."

Taecyeon also gave some advice on learning Korean, saying, "When it comes to learning languages, it's not just the input that's important, but the output. If people participate and follow along instead of just watching, their skills will improve."

In other news, 2PM will be releasing an album titled '2PM Best of 2008~2011 in Korea' on March 14th, which was carefully curated from their fans' most popularly requested Korean songs.

2012-02-29T12:03:00.001-08:00

On the February 29th episode of MBC 'Radio Star', 2PM Chansung talks about his fabulous abs, Jay Park and dating rumours.

2PM member Chansung revealed his killer abs on 'Radio Star'.

Entertainer Cho Young Goo, composer Joo Young Hoon, singer Jun Hae Bin, and 2PM's Chansung guest-featured on the 'Athletic Body' special of MBC's 'Radio Star' on February 29th.

In regards to why Chansung was chosen to be on the show amongst the 2PM members who all happen to be incredibly fit, MC Yoo Sae Yoon guessed that Chansung seemed like he had the most free time, and he would be one to throw out hilarious, thoughtless answers.

Chansung responded,"Both your guesses are correct. I had a free slot in my schedule, so I came here."

And when asked who was the most buff 2PM member, Chansung answered, "It depends, it's a different member all the time."

Jun Hae Bin then added that the member with the most time on their hands should have the best body, and Chansung acknowledged her statement by saying, "Right now, I have the best body," causing everyone to erupt in laughter.

2PM's Chansung cautiously opened up about former 2PM member and singer Jay Park.

On the February 29th episode of MBC 'Radio Star', MC Kim Gura asked Chansung, "How do you feel when you see Jay Park working so hard on his own?"

"I wish him success," Chansung answered honestly.

The singer was then asked, "Have you seen him since he left the group?", to which he responded, "No, not even once."

"2PM does not have a leader right now," he added. "We are all well aware of each other's shortcomings, and we are doing our best without a leader."

2PM's Chansung attempted to clear up the dating rumors surrounding 2AM's Seulong and Wonder Girls member Sohee.

On the February 29th episode of MBC 'Radio Star', MC Yoon Jong Shin asked Chansung, "How did the company react to the dating rumors regarding Sohee and Seulong?"

"It wasn't too serious," the singer answered. "They just figured photos of them were taken while they met to eat together."

MC Yoo Sae Yoon then asked if the company restricts them from dating, and Chansung responded, "The president tells us to date, but producer J.Y. Park won't let us," which surprised everyone on set.

And in regards to the rumors that suggested he was in a relationship with T-ara's Eunjung, Chansung said, "I think those rumors started because we are extremely close."

[Cyworld] 2PM Junsu's message to his father - "I love you. I'm sorry, Dad"

2012-02-27T14:39:00.001-08:00

Before I knew it it’s a new month since my dad and I have separated.

I don’t know why it was so hectic

I didn’t have the time to be sad because I was so busy

Thinking of it now it all seems like a dream

It still seems like a dream

My dad’s work, house, papers, etc.

Are all my responsibility for the first time

Its a new task for me that I’ve never done

It seems harder because of this.

If I think about the funeral now,

to those who helped me feel less lonely

I want to thank you so much I could cry

I felt great warmth in this world.

Although I thought to myself that I need to become stronger

Every minute I feel a huge emptiness.

The pain that follows me makes my chest hurt.

Even today I wonder why my dad had to leave so suddenly,

and I’m sending away my dreams.

We lived separately for about 8 years

I have so much regret now

I didn’t know that this would be the time you had.

The world is cold but warm. And warm but cold.

Also, there is a lot of you inside of me that I didn’t know

I think I can grasp it now, I guess the time we have

ends right here.

The phrase that it becomes important once you lose it

There are still a lot of traces of you

I can’t forget your voice

that would tell people that I am your first son.

The times you would come quietly and massage my shoulders

The times when you taught me boxing and soccer

The field that we would run around together. The sound of our breath.

A few days before you passed, you were worried about my knee surgery

You didn’t want to worry others so you didn’t tell them and went to the hospital

I can’t see that you anymore, I can’t hear you, I can’t touch you

This hurts so much

I didn’t get to tell you I love you

I didn’t get to make a single memory with you as an adult.

I love you

I’m sorry

Dad.

Please rest well now.

[News] 2PM wraps up successful concert in Nanjing!

2012-02-27T13:09:00.008-08:00

2PM has wrapped up a successful concert in Nanjing.

On February 25th, 2PM put on an electrifying show at the Nanjing leg of their first Asian tour. Dubbed the 'Hands Up Asia Tour', this long anticipated tour has seen the group perform in Taiwan, Jakarta, Singapore, Bangkok, Nanjing and Hong Kong. It has received explosive response from their fans as all seats for each performance sold out for a total of 52,000 tickets sold.

At the Nanjing show, a total of 9,000 fans flocked to see the boys perform. The concert promoter was quoted as saying, "The local fans have eagerly awaited 2PM's performance. Everyone was able to feel the energy of the Chinese fans." As a result of the high level of interest, the group reached #2 on Chinese search engine Weibo's real-time trending list. Furthermore, fans used every opportunity to see 2PM by following them from the airport and waiting outside the members' hotel.

2PM, who recently donated some of the proceeds from their Thai concert towards "Red Cross Thailand", decided to donate a part of the Nanjing concert proceeds to China's "Change the Tables and Chairs for the Children" event.

"Change the Tables and Chairs for the Children" allowed 2PM to donate proceeds so that underfunded schools in China could update worn out school furniture for over 200 students.

JYP Entertainment released a statement saying, "We earnestly give thanks to the fans around Asia who have shown great interest and support for 2PM's first Asian tour. 2PM members are still touched at the love from the fans at the Nanjing performance. We will do out best as we prepare for the last performance in Hong Kong."

2PM returned to Korea on the 26th after the completion of their Nanjing performance.

[News] Block B Answers to 2PM Nichkhun, "We Are Deeply Sorry For Being a Disappointment to Our Country's People."

2012-02-26T13:27:00.009-08:00

Boy group Block B has been under fire regarding their behaviour during an interview they gave in Thailand.

During the interview portion, the members displayed a questionable and immature behaviour and also made some controversial comments in regards to the recent floods in Thailand. When asked about the floods they answered, "I know about it. I was pretending I didn't but I do."

They also added, "We wish Thai people would heal the damage in their hearts through financial donations, and all we have is money."

But they apologized and are currently reflecting upon their mistakes. They issued an official apology through their agency and also posted a video on Youtube where they were shown bowing to the viewers and fans. Leader Zico also shaved his head to show remorse for his actions as the leader of the group.

Block B's agency also reported that member P.O was hospitalized for shock after he found out about a petition asking for their suicide.

However, there was no trace of the said petition online and fans speculated that the petition was used as a strategy from Block B's agency to attract sympathy.

In regards to this complex situation, Block B's Zico was recently quoted saying, "We're deeply sorry and we regret what we did. We are reflecting upon our actions."

Block B's words deeply touched 2PM's Thai member Nichkhun whose reaction on Twitter was, "As a Thai person I feel offended by those who speak about the Thailand floods without thinking. Also instead of coming to Thailand and acting mindlessly, please respect the country’s manners, and only act in a proper way." 2PM members Chansung and Junho also tweeted about the incident.

Block B recently appeared on KBS 2TV's "Entertainment Weekly". On the February 25 broadcast of "Entertainment Weekly," Block B members gave an interview where they confessed their mistakes and also showed that they were seriously reflecting on themselves.

When asked about how they felt about 2PM Nickchun's piece of advice, Zico commented, "What Nichkhun sunbae said was the truth. We understood that what we did was a big mistake. What we did didn't include and damage ourselves only but Korea's people as a whole. We also understood that our actions damaged the reputation of K-Pop singers."

They also added, "As Korean singers we truly feel sorry for having been a disappointment and for having brought shame to our country's people and our fans. We're deeply regretting our actions and are reflecting upon them."

Don't you think the time has come for Block B to be forgiven?

[News] Forbes Korea ranks the ‘Top 40 Celebrities’ of Korea

2012-02-26T12:03:00.007-08:00

In celebration of their 9th year of establishment, Forbes Korea has reported this year’s list of the top 40 ‘Power Celebrities’, and Girls’ Generation has topped the list for the second year in a row.

‘Celebrity’ refers to an individual who is widely known by the masses, and Forbes takes 100 of these celebrities and ranks them based on income, influence, fame, and professionalism.

This format is the same that Forbes in the United States uses for their ‘Celebrity 100' list, and the list is reported on an annual basis.

Girls’ Generation claimed the top two spots under the categories of most articles published, the highest number of television advertisements, TV appearances, and more. Additionally, the #1 celebrity most wanted by broadcasting companies is none other than Girls’ Generation, and the girls shot 36 television advertisements last year alone, and their album ‘The Boys‘ released late last year has sold over 380,000 copies.

The reason why these idols have made the list is because they have played a huge part in spreading K-pop awareness all over the globe. Flash mobs from New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and more began requesting performances from their favorite K-pop artists in their home countries, and cover-dance teams emulating K-pop choreographies have grown in number.

The only celebrities from last year’s list who made it within the top 10 this year are Olympic Gold medalist figure skater Kim Yuna, actor/singer Lee Seung Gi, and Manchester United soccer player Park Ji Sung. Of all the celebrities, Kim Yuna has had the most media influence.

The list of Top 20 is as follows :

1.) Girls’ Generation
2.) Big Bang
3.) IU
4.) KARA
5.) Kim Yuna (World Champion Figure Skater & Olympic Gold Medalist)
6.) Lee Seung Gi (Actor / Singer)
7.) Park Ji Sung (Midfielder for Manchester United & former Captain of Korean National Soccer Team)
8.) Kim Tae Hee (Actress / Model)
9.) B2ST
10.) Park Tae Hwan (Champion Swimmer & Olympic Gold Medalist)
