2PM Nichkhun and Kang Ho Dong ‘Life is Beautiful’ kiss scene


2PM Nichkhun and comedian Kang Ho Dong created a mysterious kiss scene.

On May 29th on SBS ‘Amazing Competitions Star King’ 2PM Nichkhun did push ups with American wrestler Dustin Carter who is from Ohio.

Despite not having any arms or legs, Dustin was able to push up Nichkhun’s body and suddenly surprised MC Kang Ho Dong. Kang Ho Dong wanted to try it himself so he greedily propped up Nichkhun and tried to do the push ups.

But Kang Ho Dong didn’t have enough arm strength and couldn’t lift, and his face and Nichkhun’s face touched and made a gay love scene to SBS’s weekend drama ‘Life is Beautiful’.

The strange music was timed to appear in the background right when it looked on the camera that the two were really kissing. The celebrities that were watching were so surprised that they ran to Nichkhun and Kang Ho Dong, and Nichkhun smiled while a caption appeared, reading “unable to watch, sorry”.

"FO2" Taecyeon confesses, "I liked Yoona from the very beginning"


Super Junior Heechul finally met Wonder Girl's Sohee, whom he has always been a fan of, and 2PM's Taecyeon revealed that he had "liked Yoona from the very beginning," the other main character of their scandal.

The episode of SBS "Family Outing 2 (FO2)" that aired on the 30th was a 'memorable student field trip special' for the Wonder Girls members who have not been able to hang out properly with their school friends as trainees.


The Wonder Girls, who are close to Taecyeon because they are from the same company, asked him, "Who do you like the best among the SNSD members?" When Taecyeon answered, "I liked Yuri first," Sunye revealed, "That's not true. He liked Yoona from the very beginning."

Taecyeon then confessed, "I liked Yoona at the very beginning, and I like her the most even now." When asked whom she would like to have a fake marriage with, Yoona created a strange mood saying, "It's embarrassing that no one chose Taecyeon ... I'll choose Taecyeon-oppa."

2PM Chansung showed off his hidden martial art skills.





2PM Chansung showed off his hidden martial art skills.

A guest on the episode of KBS 2TV "Let's Go! Dream Team 2" that airs on the 30th, he revealed the martial art skills of a fifth-degree black belt. He showed off the skills that he had worked on since he was young saying, "Tae Kwon Do 3rd degree, Kendo 2nd degree."

Chansung attracted attention by showing off his kicking skills with a turning back kick and other kicks in front of the other guests. At MC Lee Chang Myung's question, "Aren't you kicking too weakly?" he showed his pride in his Tae Kwon Do abilities saying, "Tae Kwon Do is about the snap."

On this day, "Let's Go! Dream Team 2" went to Korea Aerospace University and had a competition with the aircraft operators and students there. The Dream Team members even tried out handling an airplane directly with the one prepared by Korea Aerospace University.

Before he got on the plane, 2PM Junho showed his uneasiness as he asked the instructor, "You said the airplane is about 20 years old. Will it be alright?" But when he got off the plane, he said, "It was so fun. You have to ride it for yourself to experience this feeling," and could not hide his excitement.

As always, SHINee Minho showed his satisfaction in his first experience in handling an airplane saying, "It was really fun." F.Cuz Jinown, in contrast, made all the other guests laugh with his honest comment: "I was scared. I didn't feel good being inside the airplane."

Idols turn into 'fashion dols'!

Wild popularity-chasing idols have now changed into popular idols with pure beauty. The fashions that idols are wearing in dramas are catching the attention of viewers.

2PM Taecyeon sexy VS casual style
‘Taecyeon’, representing the ‘Beast dols’, has recently been showing his wild charms on music programs, emphasizing his style. The tone that the black color produced against his strong and handsome body drew attention.

In the drama ‘Cinderella’s Sister’, Taecyeon plays a pure character who likes a girl, and the simple item that he wears is appropriate.

In particular, he wore a gray t-shirt with suspenders printed in black in the drama from the brand ‘DKNY JEANS’; there was a stylish feel to the items.

Also, the blue cardigan that Taecyeon wore from ‘DKNY JEANS’ gave off a pure youth image.

2PM in Singapore's newspaper

Using handsome, pretty, sexy and popular artists to promote a place or a product is really one smart marketing strategy.

And it looks like this tactic has shown success, especially in South Korea.

Three out of the six-member boy group 2PM and also three out of the nine-member girl group SNSD have joined forces to present a 'hot' video clip at a water theme park, Everland, in Yongin, South Korea.

In the video clip, members of the two groups from South Korea have turned into lifeguards ala Baywatch as one of the newest attractions at that water park that has been named Carribean Bay.

Members of 2PM - Taecyeon, Chansung and Nichkhun - with three members of SNSD - Yoona, Yuri and Seohyun - have made an appearance in that video clip called Who is the hottest Cabi?

Surely anyone who watches this video clip, especially those who are crazy about the Korean pop culture, will be mesmerized and be dying to visit that water park.

It is also like a story that has been fit into one video clip that is four minutes and 25 seconds long, and you can watch it on YouTube.

You will surely 'melt' with the sexy appearance of those group of lifeguards.

Sigh, if only this is the reality at Carribbean Bay, surely there will be a lot who will pretend to be drowning!

2PM, advancement into Japan coming soon?



Japan's love calls for group 2PM are hot.

As 2PM is actively looking into their advancement overseas, Japanese music representatives that can be considered the best in spreading the Hallyu Wave are going all out in trying to recruit 2PM.

The Japanese music industry's interest for 2PM can be proven by the frequent visit of these representatives. 2PM attracted the attention of over ten powerful Japanese record representatives present at Dream Concert, which took place at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul Sangam-dong on the 21st.

One representative said, "We're interested in the Korea's idol groups that are the biggest trend right now 2PM is the center of that."

With this kind of attention on them, 2PM is showing a flexible attitude in regards to their possible advancement into Japan. They wish to choose a partner that fits them the best. Another representative said, "Rather than a lucrative contract, they would rather have a partner who can clearly show them the roadmap in how to invest their activities in Japan for the best results."

Is it worth it to hire big stars for CFs?


Who is the real 'king' among CF stars?

Brand consulting company 'Brand38 Institute' (Brand38.com) investigated the SMBI (Star Marketing Brand Index) by interviewing 2000 people (Seoul Kyunggi residents who are 17 years of age or older, in 1-on-1 interviews) over 10 days from the 3rd to the 12th.

SMBI measured the advertisement effects of stars who are cast in TV advertisements by measuring a variety of indicators, including which ad, among all the TV advertisements that star has done, first comes to mind; how well viewers recognize the TV advertisements in which the stars appear; whether the stars cast best fit the TV advertisement for which they have been hired; the extent to which the stars' roles in the TV ads cause viewers to have a good impression of that brand; the extent to which the stars' TV ads caused viewers to have trust in that brand; and the extent to which the stars' TV ads caused viewers to cause the desire to buy the brand.

After surveying with these questions, they asked whether these 'big stars' are earning the money they cost.

For the first half of 2010, the models who best fit with TV ads were chosen, from 1st to 4th, as 2PM, Yoo Jaesuk, SNSD, and Kim Yuna, respectively.

This is the formula for top boy group 2PM, top girl group SNSD, Nation's MC Yoo Jaesuk, and world-class figure skater Kim Yuna.

According to the investigation by the research institute, 2PM's Anycall Corby was 39th place; Yoo Jaesuk's Shinhan Financial Group was 27th; SNSD's Goobne Chicken was 21st, and Kim Yuna's Hausen air conditioner was 19th, showing that the top big stars are not earning the money they cost.

They are "receiving that much attention through all advertisers, and when it comes to exposing skin on advertisements, there can be no other star. As each one of the stars has a different image, it is difficult to accept them all in one TV advertisement. With variance in their images, it is difficult for viewers to properly accept it," went the analysis.

From the side of stars' favorability, the top star was Kim Taehee for Paris Baguette; for trust, the top star was Kim Yuna for Nike; for the desire to buy, the top star was Lee Sun Kyun's Dunkin Donuts.

Another notable result was actor Kim Suro, who at 40 was picked as a star who shines in CFs.

Kim Suro showed many varied layers on SBS 'Family Outing' and earned the affinity of many viewers, after which he appeared on KBS 2TV drama 'God of Study,' earning the love and confidence of students and students' parents simultaneously. In past TV model surveys regarding the fitness of the star with TV modeling, he was 15th place in the first half of 2006; 101st place in the second half of 2006; 106th place in the first half of 2007; 71st place in the second half of 2008; 55th in the first half of 2009; 125th place in the second half of 2009, and 36th place in the first half of 2010.

In the first half of 2006, SMBI ranked him 16th for his black bean paste CF (Nongshim), but with a chicken CF in the first half of 2010, he has risen to 2nd place. Despite his age at 40 years old, he has been crowned as the king of TV advertisement modeling.


Won Bin's Maxim T.O.P. CF was 1st place for the second consecutive time. According to the research institute, "This is the first time since Kim Jung Eun's BC Card CF took 1st place 3 times that the same model and same brand have taken 1st place consecutively since we began our semi-annual surveys in 2003," it was communicated.

Brand38 research institute has released the SMBI twice a year since 2003.

After surveying with these questions, they asked whether these 'big stars' are earning the money they cost.

For the first half of 2010, the models who best fit with TV ads were chosen, from 1st to 4th, as 2PM, Yoo Jaesuk, SNSD, and Kim Yuna, respectively.

This is the formula for top boy group 2PM, top girl group SNSD, Nation's MC Yoo Jaesuk, and world-class figure skater Kim Yuna.

According to the investigation by the research institute, 2PM's Anycall Corby was 39th place; Yoo Jaesuk's Shinhan Financial Group was 27th; SNSD's Goobne Chicken was 21st, and Kim Yuna's Hausen air conditioner was 19th, showing that the top big stars are not earning the money they cost.

They are "receiving that much attention through all advertisers, and when it comes to exposing skin on advertisements, there can be no other star. As each one of the stars has a different image, it is difficult to accept them all in one TV advertisement. With variance in their images, it is difficult for viewers to properly accept it," went the analysis.

From the side of stars' favorability, the top star was Kim Taehee for Paris Baguette; for trust, the top star was Kim Yuna for Nike; for the desire to buy, the top star was Lee Sun Kyun's Dunkin Donuts.

Another notable result was actor Kim Suro, who at 40 was picked as a star who shines in CFs.

Kim Suro showed many varied layers on SBS 'Family Outing' and earned the affinity of many viewers, after which he appeared on KBS 2TV drama 'God of Study,' earning the love and confidence of students and students' parents simultaneously. In past TV model surveys regarding the fitness of the star with TV modeling, he was 15th place in the first half of 2006; 101st place in the second half of 2006; 106th place in the first half of 2007; 71st place in the second half of 2008; 55th in the first half of 2009; 125th place in the second half of 2009, and 36th place in the first half of 2010.

In the first half of 2006, SMBI ranked him 16th for his black bean paste CF (Nongshim), but with a chicken CF in the first half of 2010, he has risen to 2nd place. Despite his age at 40 years old, he has been crowned as the king of TV advertisement modeling.


Won Bin's Maxim T.O.P. CF was 1st place for the second consecutive time. According to the research institute, "This is the first time since Kim Jung Eun's BC Card CF took 1st place 3 times that the same model and same brand have taken 1st place consecutively since we began our semi-annual surveys in 2003," it was communicated.

Brand38 research institute has released the SMBI twice a year since 2003.
