[News] Comedian Lee Young Ja 'Taecyeon, You Drive Me Crazy'
2PM appeared as guests on KBS talk show, 'Hello.'
During the show, one of the hosts of the show, Lee Young Ja told Taecyeon, "You are driving me crazy."
The talk show, which invites non-celebrity guests to bring a personal topic of discussion to share and discuss with celebrity guests, featured a wife who had serious concerns over her husband's 23-year-old car. The wife complained, "We have never gone on a road trip because the car is so old. Of course, the air conditioner does not work and there are water leaks on rainy days."
2PM chimed in on their experience being attached to things. Taecyeon answered, "I have a hard time tossing out fashion items even if they are too old or no longer useful," looking at Lee Young Ja. Then she interrupted, "Taecyeon, I am sorry but please continue your story looking at someone else. You are driving me crazy," revealing her fan girl side for Taecyeon.
Later on the show, Taecyeon showed his caring side when he picked off a piece of lint from one of the guests' hair. Seeing that, Shin Dong Yeob, one of the co-hosts, stuck a pencil in Lee Young Ja's hair and asked him, "Please take that off Lee Young Ja's hair, too," filling the studio in laughter.

[News] 2PM Taecyeon Sweet Proposal On We Got Married Global, ‘Can This Get Any More Real?’
On the last episode of “We Got Married: Global Edition,” 2PM’s Taecyeon had a chance to express how he really felt about his pretend wife, Gui Gui. Dressed up in a suit and tie, he serenaded her, playing their song on the piano. Then he knelt down and proposed. The romantic gesture brought her to tears.
The sincerity of his proposal changed the way she thought about him,said the Taiwanese singer and actress at a press conference following the show. And all his romantic gestures have changed her picture of South Korean men.
“At first he felt like a good friend, but after the proposal, it felt like we became a real couple,” said Gui Gui.
Although it was not always easy for them to communicate their feelings, his considerate actions and romantic gestures finally won her over.
Gui Gui said Taecyeon really looked out for her while they were filming. He helped remove a speck from her eye. He bought her cocoa and flowers. When she saw a pair of silver shoes that she liked, he returned to the store to buy them for her. When told they were the display model and not for sale, he talked the store owner into selling them. He presented them to Gui Gui and knelt down before her and like Prince Charming slipped them on to her feet.
And then finally he wrote her a romantic letter. In the letter he said that when he first saw her, he felt a connection. He was pleased at how happy he made her when he presented her with the shoes. When they played together in the snow, he felt as happy as a little kid.
Did she feel something for him? Did the fact that she could not look directly at him or laughed when he got close to her mean she felt something for him?
”I did my best to express my true feelings,” said Taecyeon at his own press conference. “I think I expressed them well. I think this proposal was the key to opening each other’s hearts.”
Would such a marriage really work? Taecyeon is quiet and reserved. Gui Gui is spontaneous and enthusiastic. When asked earlier in the show if he would date her in real life, he said yes. She could not see them dating due to cultural differences, but that did not necessarily mean she was not attracted to him. When asked if they could imagine skin ship with each other, he said no, and she shocked him by saying yes. And yet they managed to kiss three times.
What do you think? Could they really be a couple? Or do you see him with someone else?

So of course, it's not only girl idols that have to go on diets and try to stop themselves from overeating.
The 2PM members recently spoke about keeping up their muscular bodies in an interview with the June issue of the fashion magazine @star1.
Wooyoung said, "I try to avoid eating normal foods. I try to eat salads and eggs often, and I exercise regularly. It's not that I really plan my workouts, though. To be honest, when I have something I really want, I try to keep myself but I end up eating it in the end. When I find the food is still where I can see it three hours later, I just think it's meant to be and eat it."
On manliness, Chansung said, "I once thought that being manly meant you had to be rough. Now, though, I think differently. Rather than artificial roughness, real manliness comes from maturing naturally. A real man understands many things, and can hold all that in."
