[TRANS] Tenasia Interview - Chansung

2PM Chansung’s ‘Real Time’ Started Flowing (Interview Part 1)

Chansung is a man who wants to run slowly and steadily. He never thought either about running ahead of 2PM’s popularity or about passing the basic course with a free-ride using his title of an ‘idol’. Chansung is only running without putting energy but with sincerity. He has been in a clear demeanor for music and acting while running these past 1-2 years. Now the young man who has been running while looking what lies in the future, will now stop and look into what he exactly wants. Chansung’s real time started flowing.

Q. An interview right after you came back from attending ‘Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA)’ held in Hongkong. 2PM World Tour was also overlapping with your movie promotion. Have you ever thought that you’d become a man in your 20 having such a busy schedule.

Chansung: Absolutely no. (laughs) I couldn’t predict it at all.

Q. What is this current busy schedule for. An investment for your future? A work you enjoy doing? Or just something you eventually have to do because it is a schedule?

Chansung: I think everything of my schedule does have its meaning. It’d be hard for you if only work your body without such a thought. And also, I’m able to concentrate more on the work given to me by thinking ‘To be doing this kind of job is the goal of my life’.

Q. Does that mean you have now felt like ‘A career as a singer is the path I have to walk on’?

Chansung: It would be more exact to put that kind of thought in more definite words. I’ve debuted for 9 years. (7 years as 2PM) I have encountered many problems in that 9 years. My thoughts turned negative whenever it’s hard on me. Sometimes when I felt sorry to the staff, I would think ‘Do these people really care for me?’ At certain moment, I did realize that those thoughts are useless. But rather than negative thoughts, I would address them as poison that gnaw at me. After I realized that they brought negative influences to my mind, my point-of-view on things would change.

Q. Even when you realize that those negative thoughts are useless, it won’t be easy to change them. How did you start changing them.

Chansung: There is a psychology teacher who gives mental care at the company. Everyone in JYP starting from trainees to employees receive mental care as compensation but I’m originally an optimistic person. On the day when I met the teacher for the first time, he gave a checked mark on the self-diagnosis for mental health checklist. After I saw it, our conversation went “You’re happy eventhough you’re working right?” “Yes” “No discontent right?” “Yes” “You don’t need any particular mental care, and you seem to be interested in psychology so let’s study together”. Since then, I started learning psychology with him. It has been 3 years since then.

Q. I wonder if you’re interested in psychology because you’re curious about other people’s mental state, or because you want to know your own.

Chansung: Both of them. I usually have many things I question about myself. Worries like ‘Why did I act like that?’ ‘Why did I have such thought then?’ came to me periodically. At such time, I’d listen to the teacher’s advice, read the book he recommeded and my tangle thoughts would be settled.

Q. Do you also feel a bit comfortable about other people too? Like figuring the mental state of others.

Chansung: I’m not able to see through others’ state of mind just yet. But, I’m able to understand deeper. For example, let’s say there is this someone who does a very particular action. Then I’d think ‘That person will also get recognition through that action’

Q. You said that thinking ‘This career is a path I have to walk on’ won’t get you more than 1 or 2 years so I wonder was there a possibility for you to have a different job before.

Chansung: I didn’t have such thought at all. It’s like I was just working hard. Now is different. My attitude toward my job have become more set.

Q. Acting is also there on your path and actually you became an actor before a singer.

Chansung: True. I was in ‘Unstoppable Highkick’.

Q. In recent 2 months, you appeared in two movies, ‘Red Carpet’ and ‘Deoksuri 5 Brothers’. Before the interest died down for one movie, another one had already been released, I think that could be either unfortunate or on the contrary, aggressively good. Which one is it.

Chansung: I filmed for ‘Red Carpet’ in late summer right after I was finished with ‘7th Grade Civil Servant’ (2013). Not long after, I started filming for ‘Deoksuri 5 Brothers’. I actually didn’t know that the release of these two movies would be so close to each other. With the releases were postponed I thought none of them would be released this year. I feel relieved as both of them were released like this.

On this day Taecyeon - Taecyeon who came to know about the delay for the photoshoot time, quickly prepared himself. As soon as he knew that the staff had been waiting, he immediately said “I’m sorry, I'll be ready in a bit!” and be full with enthusiasm of “The Athletics” type.

[Junho] Born on 1990 January 25th. Height 178cm. Blood type A.

On this day Junho - Junho who replied perfectly in Japanese about the staff’s snacks by saying “These cookies are delicious, aren’t they~?

[Nichkhun] Born on 1988 June 24th. Height 180cm. Blood type O.

On this day Nichkhun – Nichkhun elegantly bowed his head a little as greeting with a smile on his face. He said “Please” to a staff who was standing and escorted her while giving his chair. With that natural act, he awed the people around him.

[Jun. K] Born on 1988 January 15th. Height 180cm. Blood type A.

On this day Jun. K – Jun. K looked happier than usual as the 6 of them gathered. He said “Are you doing well? I’m doing well!” and hugged Chansung’s shoulders, and surprised Wooyoung by shouting “Waa!” when he came behind him.

[Wooyoung] Born on 1989 April 30th. Height 178cm. Blood type B.

On this day Wooyoung – Wooyoung consistently proceeded with a beaming face on this coverage for the 6 of them after such a long time. By asking the others to pop the balloons in the studio with shaking shoulders and an ‘eek!’ coming out of his mouth, he looked like a shocked small animal......

[Chansung] Born on 1990 February 11th. Height 184cm. Blood type B.

On this day Chansung – Chansung sat silently on a chair while staring at one point. As he looked like he’s a bit tired, there came bananas brought by the staffs into his sight. When Jun. K who passed by after individual photoshoot saw that side of Chansung, he laughed and joked by saying “Eat them if you want” to Chansung.

A confession through SNS to a girl you like?! The reason is?

After your clothing, we will try to check your inner charms next. First, “A confession to a girl you like. How will you do it and what will you say?”


Taecyeon: Yes yes! I will confess by saying "Date with me" while holding hands and walking at the Han River. Like a man!

Junho: Too ordinary. And there are many bugs during this season.

Wooyoung: It's not like Han River is just anywhere, right.

Taecyeon: Then, I want to confess at a movie theater.

Nichkhun: Are you going to rent the whole teather?

Taecyeon: There's that another movie preview being played before the actual movie, isn't it. A video made by me will appear at that moment.

Junho: It's too much though........

Chansung: It's extreme....

Wooyoung: If you do such thing for a confession, what will you do for a marriage?!

Minjun: Ah I thought of a good method. By applying Taecyeon's thought, then it will be watching a France movie. The movie will be one that shows parent-child love and I will shout "I will be the father of your kids!" at the end.

Taecyeon: That would be a propose, wouldn't it.

Minjun: Isn't that what we're talking about?

Nichkhun: The current theme is how to confess.

Minjun: Through SNS.

Chansung: What? ㅋㅋㅋ Aren't you just randomly saying it?

Minjun: It would be a bit embarassing to say 'let's date' right. Won't it be good to date naturally when you like each other?

Taecyeon: That..... Aren't you saying that because you don't want to make an anniversary event?

Minjun: I didn't even say a thing about not wanting to do it though!

Nichkhun: So you feel bothered by it?ㅋㅋㅋ

Junho: You're a bad guyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Individual Q&A] 

[Wooyoung]

ABOUT L.A.

Q1. Your image of L.A.? 

It feels somehow peaceful? I really like L.A.! 

Q. Have you ever gone to L.A.?

I have. When Wonder Girls held US Tour, 2PM was the opening act so we went together to 9 cities. 

ABOUT LOVE

Q1. The girl I like has no interest in me at all! How will you revert your heart?

I will directly give up. (Jun. K: Although you sincerely like her?)

Though I’m not sure whether I will try once again or not if we’ve been friends since the beginning...

For example, there is a shop assistant at a convenience store who is, let’s say, my ideal type.

In that case, I won’t try to appeal her and I will just come back after buying stuffs. I’m such a slow man... (laughs) 

Q2. Your girlfriend is spotted walking hand in hand with an unknown man! What will you do?

Eum~ (He thought for a while) If I have something urgent that moment, I won’t be able to see that place and just leave! (laughs)

If I have time then, I will run to my girlfriend and ask her “What is this?”

 

Q3. Who amongst the members that is likely to be the most envious if you have a girlfriend?

I think all of them will be similar? I will certainly be as well.

[Jun. K]

ABOUT L.A.

Q1. Your image of L.A.? 

It feels clean. And free! Since there is no particular tall building in L.A., the sky is spreaded out and I feel that ‘grand’ feeling.

Relaxed! L.A has that image of a relaxing place. 

Q2. Have you ever gone to L.A.?

Of course, I have! With all of the members. (Wooyoung: I have answered that)

Then, I want to go with Wooyoung this time♪ Since we have a similar laughing point.

ABOUT LOVE

Q1. The girl I like has no interest in me at all! How will you revert your heart?

I will try to find out about her thoroughly, like her lifestyle or hobby (laughs) Anyways, I have to get her interest in me!

Q2. Your girlfriend is spotted walking hand in hand with an unknown man! What will you do?

I won’t be able to move, from the great shock I get at the spot...!!

Then in that situation, I won’t be able to form words properly to that beloved girlfriend of mine, I won’t know who is that unknown man... I can’t say anything, and then I will ask her through phone call later.

Q3. Who amongst the members that is likely to be the most envious if you have a girlfriend?

Junho! He has the image of likely to get envious. Nobody has no enviousness anyway, right?

[TRANS] The release of FEEL interview with Genie - Junho

Q. You are greeting your fans through your second album a year after the release of your first solo album in Japan. Please say a comeback comment to the fans who have been waiting for you~

A. Everyone of the Genie family, hello~ This is 2PM’s Junho! After about a year, I’m meeting everyone with my second solo album. I think it becomes more meaningful this time around as I can also meet you through the Korean version of it especially. ^^  Since I really worked hard to prepare it, please give lots of love~

Q. Please introduce the title track FEEL!

A. Yes,  it is a track that mixes the electronic sound of basic trend with the nostalgic melodies from the past 90s’ sensitivity. The song is about someone’s life that usually passes meaninglessly but turns into colorful and beautiful from monochrome days once he meets his loved one.

Q. Do you write and compose all the tracks for your solo album this time as well?

A. Yes, following my first solo album, I also tried to write, compose, even produce this album, if my first solo album ‘Kimino Koe’ was a casual album with only a little bit of power, this album ‘FEEL’ is a really dynamic and lively album which can truly shows myself.

Q. What is the music that can display the self of ‘Junho’? 

A. A continuously changing self?^^ I’m not picky on genres. If you listen to this album from the beginning until the end, it is packed with various genres, starting from dance, rock, acoustic, until ballad.

Q. On July 9^th, the release day of your album in Japan, you achieved triple champion, your comment at that time?

A. My album ranked 1^st on the music sector of Oricon Daily Chart, Tower Record Daily Chart, and HMV Music Show on the release day. My comment at that time… That it’s awesome?^^ I think it only made me think to do even better for the lots of  love I have received.  

Q. You seems eager about solo activities, from solo album, solo Japan tour, Chinese drama OST, even movie casting. Next planning for your activities?

A. I spent this summer being really busy. Solo album and tour, I’ve also started the filming for my new movie ‘Twenty’ recently. Although I have many works, I feel good because I’m rather busy. In coming future, I would like to keep on being busy with working as a singer and actor, I want to grasp them all. Since it will be better for me not to do everything altogether if I can’t do one of them, I want to absolutely do well in both of them. Ah, and it’s planned for me to greet everyone as a member of 2PM soon. It is coming really soon! Please look forward to it. ^^

Q. At last, please greet Genie family.

A. Alright, please end this summer freshly together with Junho’s FEEL! This has been Junho. Thank you.

[TRANS] Instyle 2014 August Issue - Taecyeon

caption: "Only for today, I want to be a boy rather than a real man~"

caption: "Totally hooked by Taecyeon's sparkling eyes!"

MAN OF STYLE Taecyeon

Although it’s not certain what the best aptitude he fits the best, the area he’s challenging—singing and acting, business, etc—are all interesting fields. He’s giving his best despite the lack of sleep as result.

Taecyeon who is a member of Beastly Idol 2PM with overflowing masculinity, naturally excels as a naive man, Kang Donghee in the drama <Wonderful Days>

With the passion and desire burning his youth, there seems to be no limit to him as an entertainer.

    

Recently, instead of group name “2PM”, you’re often called with a different name.

“I was once walking to leave after finishing <Wonderful Days> filming in Kyeongju when people shouted ‘a celebrity!’ so I turned around and while saying ‘The twins’ dad!’ they were glad to meet me.

I felt the greatness of a weekend drama all over again.

He, a mid 20’s ‘Youthful Idol’, being naturally called ‘The twins’ dad’ comes from his firmness in piling a stack of his acting skills.

Starting from his debut in <Cinderella’s Sister>, highschool drama <Dream High>, ghost-mellow <Who are You>, until the movie <Marriage Blue>.
A result of challenging each steps one by one after removing his hot idol badge.

Not just that, Taecyeon is a model student who spares no investment for himself regarding his studies and personal business.

“Although I want to have a big escape (from daily life) for once, I won’t likely to even dream about it if I’m not working, so I’m managing happily now.”

said him, from whom one can learn.

July passes unnoticedly. How was Taecyeon’s 2014 first half year?

In retrospect, I was striving for the drama <Wonderful Days> throughout the first half year. As a member of 2PM, I proceeded with Arena Tour in 5 cities of Japan.

I’ve gone back and forth to Japan while filming for the drama for several times already, but it’s my first time that the drama is longer than the tour.

You received attentions through your sly Kyeongsang-do dialect during your debut in <Cinderella’s Sister>, and now you’re well received with your dialect act in current drama as well, aren’t you.

I ever lived in Busan when I was little. Before the drama filming started, I went to travel in Busan for about a week to practice my dialect once again.

Because the intonation of dialect that is used by the elders is stronger than I thought, I found it hard to follow, so I tried to change it with a bit natural intonation.

‘Acting teacher’ (Ryu) Seungsoo hyung also takes care of me a lot during the filming.

[TRANS] and GIRL August Issue - Junho

Junho From 2PM

The great popularity of  the not-idol-like-manliness in Japan as well!

Asia No. 1 Beastly Idol “2PM” member Junho.

But, originally Junho is, really suave and charming. And, he is a cool boy with smiling face ♥

To commemorate the release of his 2nd solo mini album “FEEL”, we will deliver a dense interview with full answers, from music to his favorite girl type!

Q. Your own personality in one word?

Fire. It’s not that I get angry quickly, but when things aren’t decided quickly I can’t stand it and become frustrated. That kind of impatient personality.

Q. Your opinion about older women?

I like them. Not simply because of their age, but because I think they’re reliable, responsible, cool, and they have many things that I can learn about.

Of course, when it comes to love, I’ll think of them as ‘a girl’ even when they are older!

Q. Will you confess on yourself to the woman whom you like?

When I think I don’t want to miss that person, I think I will confess.

Personally, I don’t want to burden the woman that much though,

but because I think I need to push her until some point, I think I will frequently contact her saying “Let’s meet!”

Q. Where will you go for your first date?

Amusement park. We will conquer the rollercoaster and the others!

Q. Something given from a woman that makes you happy?

When she unexpectedly cares for me.

Like how she indifferently gives me a towel when I’m sweaty, or how she covered my shoulders with something when I’m dozing on the sofa.

On the contrary, if there’s a woman whom I like, and she does them to me, or when it’s my lover who does them to me, I think I will be greatly happy!

But, it will be hard to find such a lover, right?

Q. If someone dates Junho, what previliege will she get?

The world’s thrill or speed, I will make her experience all the exciting things!

Q. What action from a woman that attracts you?

I think, tucking her hair behind her ear is a feminine act.

Just a half year ago, I was filming a movie so my hair was long, I often tuck my hair behind my ears. (laughs)

Q. What is a woman’s fashion that you find cute?

White t-shirt with jeans, I like a simple style.
