Taecyeon’s Calluses
With a
sneaky expression he joked around with the staff the most mischievously, gaze
becoming different only when he entered the shooting. As much as the time he
has spent since the early days of his debut with reality program <Wild
Bunny> until <Cinderella’s Sister> and also <Three Meals A Day>,
Taecyeon have gotten calluses on his feet.
How
are you doing while resting from <Three Meals A Day> Winter Season?
I’m spending my time with my personal schedule as
well as recording for 2PM’s Japanese album. The 4th album Japanese tour done.
Now, we are preparing for our album again.
How
is 2PM’s popularity felt in Japan?
Actually, you can’t really feel it other than in our
concerts. Different from Korea, not every broadcasting company in Japan has their
own music programs that singers have a lot of their own concerts there.
Now
you are into your 4th year after your debut.
That’s right. Since I debuted in 2008.
Do
you feel anything changing every year? Say for example your determination in
performing or your attitude.
That is a sure thing. Thinking about my debut days...
(laughs)
2PM,
acting, variety field, and MC, you have done all that but surely there is one of
those that keeps you balanced, right?
I started with 2PM so even all of the members did
not say a thing, we all prioritize 2PM more. Of course, our own individual activities
are important too but I think it is definite that we were able to start whatever
we do now because of 2PM.
It
seems that you have an unwritten aggreement to keep on doing well as 2PM while
doing well on your individual activities.
I guess you can put it like that. It’s like we all
know it without saying it out loud?
Although
you are talking about this all indifferently, there was a lot of things that
happened in 8 years. Have you become relaxed and at ease?
My personality has been originally so. I don’t really
pay attention to detailed things. I have never thought about having to do this
and that just because I’m a celebrity. That’s how I get to be more at ease.
What
do you mean by ‘having to do things because you’re a celebrity’?
For example, when you have to pay attention to your
fashion and how you look to others. Something like that maybe? At the time of
my debut and even now, I think that ‘would not it be better for me to live my
life in a way I find comfortable?’
