[Trans] AneCan Magazine November Edition - 2PM

Taecyeon & JUN. K 

With personalities gathered, the pulled off ‘leaderhip’ which has each member’s trust and love – the one without leader, 2PM. During that, is there a time where members conciously pulled off the seniority sense?

JUN. K: Because everyone is trustworthy, we’re having the power to do challenges. That’s why there’s neither leader or older brother position in a concious matter. 

Sometimes, it’s when we’re having different opinions that helps us to go for the best way.

Taecyeon who nodded. When you see it recently, how’s your younger brothers recently?

JUN. K: The consideration sense has grown. They’re thinking of each other, also understanding each other.. It’s no joke (Laugh) 

It doesn’t feel like older brother and younger brother?

Taecyeon: We gave up on it. If not, because we’re sad (Laugh) Because we’re open to each other, unless we are open-hearted.

Even while laughing like that, it feels like there are always either responsibilty sense or love. The thing you both rely on each other?

Taecyeon:  JUN. K’s music sense is high. Because he’s the 2PM member who has strong colour in music, when it’s the time to determine either the title tracks or other tracks, JUN. K’s opinion matters.

JUN. K: Taecyeon has the will to perform and concentration. We are a performance group, receiving the praise as Beastly Idols, the moment because Taecyeon started working out and developed his body.

And because he’s also tall, his expression is powerful and he drinks water well. (Laugh)

Taecyeon who looked happy while kicking JUN. K as he tried to hide his embarassment. Are both of you leading about dating?

.

JUN. K: At that time, it’s different. It’s not depending on her, but depending on the time and place.

Taecyeon:  Although until now I do lead, If I think about it now,  the women to whom I thought I did to, also did lead.

Taecyeon and JUN. K, the 2 pillars with their musicality and beastly idol charisma. Even if you threw either of them, the group wouldn’t be as they’re here now. To the 2 men who share trust on each other, 2PM’s future has been assigned.

If you are to release a sub-unit CD debut, with whom will you do it?

JUN. K: Of course Taecyeon. I will do the vocal, Taecyeon do the rap, I think we’ll make a very fantastic sub-unit.

Taecyeon: What if I don’t want to? (Laugh) No, for me, it’s JUN. K too. I did (sub-unit) once with Nichkhun before this and as the chemistry was good, I want to do it again.

JUN. K: Then, let’s do it with the three of us! With Khun playing the piano! Jazz Hip Hop!!

Wooyoung & Junho

A hidden leaking passion in their eyes, they the one who don’t want to be anyone else. Supported by a strong commitment, strongly. 

The 2 men who support 2PM’s performances with their talents. Through their special relationship, could be seen that each other improve theirselves.

Junho: Special? Thank you!

I’m honoured that I made you happy. (Laugh) Do you ever think that you don’t want to be each other’s selves?

Wooyoung: I think, to a man, no matter who will do that. I don’t want to be anyone else, no matter who. 

Junho: To be honest, with my strength, I can’t win over Wooyoung. 

The one going out because of the voluntary early morning schedule which everyone hates.. He’s a caring person.

Wooyoung: Junho is manly. As he does the acrobatic moves with high level of difficulty initiatively, he is courageous. 

Both you, each has done solo debut in Korea and Japan.

Junho: Wooyoung got the chance because his poven skill and his sincerety that he has shown until now. When his solo was decided in Korea, I directly supported him.

Wooyoung: I’m also like that. Because Junho is very passionate, he’s able to debut in Japan, I’m proud. Eventhough we’re not saying it directly but we’re supporting each other, we’re in that kind of relationship. 

Also about dating, do you also wish each other to have a good relationship the woman you like?

Junho: You shocked me, you asked how if we like the same person!

If so, at that time, as we talk to each other, who of us will step aside. I won’t support. (Laugh)

Wooyoung: As for being with a woman, even we don’t rely on each other, it’s good to have a relationship in which we trust each other.  

Junho: A relationship in which we fill each other in the lacking parts is good. 

Impression and changing point of your solo debut?

Wooyoung: I don’t know!

Junho: It’s the same as every other day!

The 2 people who did hi-touch at the words of ‘You’re like a family’

Good rivals who are looking forward to the future in their same eye levels. But, as expected, their relationship is very good.

If you are to release a sub-unit CD debut, with whom will you do it?

Junho: Wooyoung! Although our heights and bodies are slightly the same, our dance styles are absolutely different. That’s why I think if we dance side by side, it will create a good chemistry response.

Wooyoung: Even when I performed the track called ‘Move On’ with Junho, the harmony was good, and I think I will enjoy it with any member.

Nichkhun & Chansung 

No matter when, the freely existing ‘tolerance’. Well, that is of the kind things.

The 2 men who are always thankful for the members’ love. 2PM’s unity, is it because both of you present?

Nichkhun: We’ve never thought like that! It’s just we complement each other. Because our relationship is good, we can be that united so freely..

However on the stage, you wiped each other's sweat

Nichkhun: It's because I dont especially sweat a lot. (Laugh) 

Chansung: Khun hyung's body was soaked in kindness. I'm also like that but when I do something forcefully I'll be dying out of stress. (Laugh)

Both of you naturally show actions of gentleness.

Chansung: Even when encountering a difficult condition, Khun hyung will forever take a wise choice. 

Nichkhun: Chansung concentrates well. Once he’s set on something, he has the strength not to be distracted. And, because we try to understand each other’s hearts, we don’t really know what matches the best.

In last summer, you also went to Junho’s solo tour concert in Japan in voluntary. 

Nichkhun: Right at the beginning of our debut, I received the spotlight much, there was a time when Junho felt nervous. At that time I told him, ‘Because you’re very attratctive and talented, the time when you shine will eventually come’

Junho’s cool and cute on the stage, and I feel so proud.

Then, do both of you also show tolerance about woman?

Nichkhun: Although I want to do it as a man, when I want to behave like a spoilt , I’ll say it honestly and do it!

Chansung: It’s tiring to only show each’s good feature... A not overdone relationship is the ideal one!

Nichkhun who forever doesn’t lose his smile together with Chansung who changed from speaking Japanese to try saying what he has in mind.

2PM will be forever stable when these 2 men with the heart to freely care for their partners existed.

If you are to release a sub-unit CD debut, with whom will you do it?

Nichkhun: For me, Taecyeon. When we performed a track called ‘My Valentine’, the chemistry matched very well, I want us to perform either a coolly or sexily expressed track. Chansung will do good as solo though?

Chansung: Eum—, I think I will be able to do it with any member! 

Group Interview

For 2013 summer to 2PM there's "Summer of individual activities" After your debut it's not like you've parted way like this befor, right?

Nichkhun: Of course~ That's why the 6 of us contacted each other. We also sent pictures, and got up to do that day's work.

Minjun: The 6 of us made a chatting room. Junho really said lots of things there! 

Junho: Jun. K hyung too! 

Wooyoung: Chansung and me are too...

Taecyeon: no, it's Jun. K. I left my phone for 5-6 hours in the car when I was at the drama filming and there were about 140 messages from him ㅋㅋㅋ

Chansung: Although he wrote much ㅋㅋㅋ I actually didn't know what he's trying to do ㅋㅋㅋ

Minjun: Seems like everyone doesn't get that I was trying hard to make everyone laugh (ㅠㅠ)

Junho: I got it (ㅋㅋ) And also Chansung also sent a topless picture of him working out. Although he took the pic well, but when seeing alone, I felt ashamed.

Q. Even when you all are apart, it's like you're close to each other. Then, didn't you feel lonely?

Minjun: Even so, I also missed them. Although I was not that lonely, but still we I wanted us to meet.

Nothing changed, and we’re still one.

Is there any change you feel after the past solo activities of 6 members?

JUN. K: Because it’s yet to change, the change didn’t appear. Even so, between the members who experienced acting, we’re pleased to act as each other’s partner in script.

Junho: I acted as JUN. K hyung’s Jack The Ripper musical partner.

JUN. K: a noble, merchant, a female role. Junho had a great time acting as all of the musical roles.

Junho: I didn’t do as the noble though? (Laugh)

Taecyeon: This is will be used in future group’s experience. 

I want to see sight of their practice. So, this year, you have achieved your big target, Tokyo Dome concert, what’s your future target?

Taecyeon: Junho has a thing to say on this, okay, Junho.

Junho: Stadium.

Everyone: Oh!

Wooyoung: For the sake of that, like what we’ve been doing until now, we’re in the middle of working hard.

JUN. K: True. To mantain the achieved things, and things to develop. Even there are difficult matters, we have no worry because our teamwork is good.

Nichkhun: For Chansung?

Chansung: I’m thinking about it.

That’s why Chansung was given time to think...

5th Year since debut, as you have had various experiences and now that you’re here, please tell things that changed and that didn’t since your debut.

Taecyeon: The thing that changed, postition. We started as rookie idols, but now we have many juniors. 

From the learning side, we’re able to show more side of us. The things that didn’t change....

JUN. K: We’re one!

Taecyeon: True. And that we work hard everyday. That didn’t changed.

‘We’re one’ is one of the line from the musical JUN. K was casted in, The Three Musketeers. Pointing it out for everyone.

JUN. K: Thank you!

Words you want to say and things you want to do for noonas.

Anecan,which you make appearance for the first time, is a magazine read by the slightly older females than you guys. To the noonas who are tired, what do you want to say? 

Wooyoung: Be strong, please work hard.

Nichkhun: Please be rich.

JUN. K: In Korea, the term "please be rich" is really good, it's a motivating words.

Nichkhun: Is it weird?

JUN. K: It's fine! Eung, from me, reach your dream and work hard! Effort is not one to betray, if there's a dream.

Taecyeon: ‘Please find a way to relieve stress...’ Like this? I think that sometimes effort does betray though...?!

Everyone is rather ascetic than realistic. A bit more, will be glad if there is healing words for the females.

Junho: Then, me. Have confidence and don’t doubt yourself. You’re the best woman in this world.

Everyone: Oh~! As expected Junho!!

JUN. K: Even so, I made a cool comment right!? Next is Chansung!

Chansung: I’m thinking right now.

Wooyoung: Again? Chansung is really honest. You can say it comfortably though. (To Chansung) ‘Please give some love’, how about saying it like this?

Chansung: Eum—If a woman is dating, shouldn’t we not interfere? Even so, to say it comfortably is true.

When you’re tired, don’t overdrive yourself, please work as you play or sigh at times.

Then, I’ll particularly ask. Let’s say each of you have a lover. If your girlfriend were depressed, how would you comfort her?  

 I wouldnt do anything and just directly hug her. With a warm heart. 

Here (while patting his chest) I would light the fire up in the fireplace. (Laugh)

Wooyoung: I would want to get down from the car.

Nichkhun: For me, I think I'd give a massage? and also if little jokes were needed... Rather than asking her the reason of her being depressed, firstly I think it’s good if I waited till her heart felt comfortable enough to tell what she needed to say. 

Taecyeon: Nichkhun’s caring. I would make a space for her at which she could feel relax and I'd like to make delicious things. 

Nichkhun: Ramyeon? And wouldn't Taecyeon just eat it by himself? Taecyeon ate 4 servings of ramyeon by himself 

Taecyeon: I'm not going to deny it though, but I wouldn't do it by then!!!

JUN. K: The next one is Junho's time! Because Junho has the best thing to say, this next one will also be good!?

Wooyoung: ‘You’re the best woman!’ (From Junho’s earlier answer)

Taecyeon: True, that's it! Junho is cool! (everyone laughed)

(everyone laughed)

Junho: I would hug her and tell her "It's been hard on you~ Because the food is ready let's eat together?" ... because everyone is noisy, it's a bit hard to say it.

Chansung: Junho-yah, sorry. I also hugged her first and after that I will listen to what she said while looking at her face.

Is love game not needed? The new track is about man’s true intention.

Then, what kind of song is the new track, ‘Winter Game’?

Taecyeon: ‘It’s no need of a love game, love does not hurt.’ It’s a track of a man’s sorrow.

Because it’s a winter track, the oufit is long coat and the dance movement is coolly completed with the outfit.

Does everyone think that there’s no need of a love game?

Wooyoung: Absolutely. I don’t think like that. (That it’s needed.)

JUN. K: Love needs truth in it.

Nichkhun: Love isn’t a game.

Chansung: Of course. Everyone thinks like that right?

Taecyeon: It’s not like that. For me, I think love can be seen as a game. Even it’s only a game, we can win. In a love’s tug of war.  

Junho: I want to play tug of war. I want to win in a game like that.

JUN. K: Even so, hearts really really hurt... 

Junho: I’m not the one starting the game. Til wherever, it will be fine. That’s why there’s no need to be hurt.  

While listening to you guys, I think this track, Winter Games, has many similar parts  to Junho’s self.

Junho: Yes! ‘There’s no need of a love game’ is my part!

Everyone: (Applause) Oh~!

Then, the last one, Chansung! As you had achieved earlier, your target in the future. 

Chansung: Of course... I want to let everyone know what kind of group 2PM is, to the international world. The love received from everyone and it’s hard whether to everyone. Even so, even it’s just one person or many people, I want to show what kind of charm that we have. I think of that.

Chansung who’s honest till the end, the members who teased him yet also watched him kindly. As JUN. K said, ‘Because we’re family’, they, the ones whose presences are not to be taken for granted. They’re polite and displayed an impressive good relationship throughout the photoshoot and also interview.
