@Slick ikr! kpop idols back then looked prominently masculine while i cannot tell kpop idols nowadays apart. they all wear the same style of makeup and the androgynous look is the in-thing today (which unfortunately is not my cup of tea)..

[@xenes3170]

@@tannle True. Old kpop boys groups were more masculine than now. ( especially 2pm, 2am and Tvxq for me ) As you say they didn't really have this androgynous face and body. For me since the beginning of Shinee kpop changed cause the concept was not "manly man" anymore but "skinny body boys" and "androgynous face boys " who look much younger than their age.

Kpop fans forgot before Lisa and other new gens foreign idols , there is Nichkhun. He was literally EVERYWHERE in Korea back then. His CFs are just well, everywhere. He was the original Thai Prince (even though everyone knows he is NOT A PRINCE). I was in Korea when 2PM was everywhere, when I said 2PM the taxi drivers and every Korean just said ‘Nichkhun’. That is how famous he is. Love him. Love 2PM. The sole reason my love for kpop is 2PM. Again and Again was my go-to song for ages. Love his wisdom and strength. He is so humble, always saying he is talentless and working hard to be everything he is now. I miss 2PM. Please comeback 2PM. I saw Woo in shows and I feel like crying. That is how crazy I am missing 2PM. I have all of their albums including their Japanese releases. Miss you guys, love this interview.

[@SessionSakic]

My favorite thing about Nichkhun is he has taken on the role of Father/Brother figure for all the Thai Idols, Last year in July he was back stage of a BlackPink concert cheering the girls on, he has pics on his Insta with Lisa expressing how proud he is of her and bought BP a meal.

Are the visuals of their teams, grew up in LA but not Korean, were in a MATS team, pretty athletic, started writing and releasing their own solo work, both interested in acting, etc.

And I love knowing about Khun POV as kpop stars. Tbh I respect his well- balance life.

You're talking about wild bunny not hot blood. Hot blood was not actually funny at all. It showed 2pm and 2am boys on a really strict training program with missions that caused some of them to get physically injured for real. They fainted , got nosebleeds , felt sick and threw up , shivered from the cold and etc. It was kind of heart breaking to watch but I think every 2pm fan needs to watch it at least once.

Same I crazy that no one is talking about that part. Khun said hmit another time recently too. He said that during the first few years of promotion he couldn't really remember what they did and at that time they had so much work he couldn't even think for himself

19:09 The iconic line - Nickhun 2020

[@PL-pq6nh]

Now we need to see Jae and Khun playing badminton 😂😂😂

[@user-tw6su9pf7h]

they did it back in 2016 on Cool Kiz on the Block!

[@someoneontheinternet6363]

This might be my favourite episode so far. It was a joy to listen to such an organic and authentic conversation between Nichkhun and Eric.

[@orbitiny1117]

Nichkhun‘s voice is the most calming voice I have ever heard. I love this man. Have ever since I‘ve been a kpop stan and forever will.

[@adelaideeverett9134]

*Love that Nichkhun knew he was gonna make it because "they need a face"*

[@bearface282]

is it safe to say how glad i am that nickhun still works in jype as a director.. and the way he probably do some peptalk with the members of jype new groups.. and that he's probably the one who convinced the manageme to let mina get some rest .

14:38 “i was being a bad boy.” 😭 could he be more cuter?!?! 🥺✨

[@moppyblueblue]

He is very special. I mean all the 2PM members are nice and humble but I think he's the best in personality. I really admire him as a person. He's that kind of man. It's so miracle the JYP found him.

[@denissewoo]

Nichkhun is great at interviews, I could listen to him all the time.

[@mujin_kingdom1159]

I was going to listen to this while doing my homework but I just kept laughing at Eric and Nichkhun and I couldn't focus

[@myliferevolvesaroundshinee5639]

The way our favs matcheddd 😹

[@ching0059]

The first time I knew Nichkhun was from WE GOT MARRIED, Khuntoria was really my most unforgettable memory in my teenage years when I was crazy about Kpop. hope he can join more English podcasts, the vibe was so chill.

52:04 🤮 TAEC 52:32 😈 JUN KAY 53:11🤪 WOOYOUNG 53:24 😶 CHANSUNG 53:39🍑 JUNHO 55:20🙂 NICHKHUN

[@CK4594]

I got teary eyed on the part where he said he went out of his comfort zone because he promised he will do something for Hottests. What’s special about 2PM is their family relationship with each other and how they value “2PM and Hottests”. Very humble persons and down to earth. They all deserve everything what they have now. I’ll always be a PROUD HOTTEST 🥺🥺 Thank you Khunnie Oppa ❤️❤️

[@jennifergonzalez8033]

This was surprisingly honest and really interesting. 2pm was one of the first groups I knew about way back in the day and it’s been a while since I’ve seen something from them. I really like Nickhun’s humor to.

[@lizi9770]

Handsome is as handsome does and I'm glad that Khunnie's character is as good as his face..I really love him in interviews where he can share his thoughts & we get to see a bit more of the real him🐨❤

[@Elyriah]

Eric's interview game has improved big time and I love it. I suffer from the same conversation tactics he had before, namely jumping to a personal story of my own when I could relate well to the other person, but he manages it so well this time, constantly and smoothly keeping the focus on his interview partner. Have a random compliment from a stranger :) really well done!

[@revomljbs]

Nichkhun's personality is soooo CALMING...😍

[@maegannasungan9369]

When khun mentioned the call from jyp I can't help but laugh remembering how they told the story in strong heart 😂🤣

[@stephy95]

woah those were the good ol days 😳😳

[@shabitsaessa7324]

Nickhun is such a cutie, I really love his interactions with Eric💞

[@firzaasaimama7849]

"They need the face" 😂😂 bow downn

[@ayesumon856]

The best podcast ever !! Khun is so down to earth Thank you for making this podcast 🙏

[@kylesalcedo8187]

Is it just me Nickhun seems like a great friendddd he's so genuine 😍😍😍

[@amorfatikhb]

Wow, this is actually more real and hits home harder than anything I’ve ever heard from an idol before. Nichkhun was dealing with senioritis but didn’t do anything but play badminton. He was given this massive opportunity in a completely new environment and he just did it. Then even throughout his career, he’s looking for something, a purpose, but there’s no burning passion like how most of idols normally express themselves. I think people would relate to him a lot bc of it. We’re just kind of floating around in space, waiting for the next Big Bang (theory) to hit us.

[@muhammaddanishpranowo7498]

I like his honesty. He obviously got casted for his look but I respect his hard work 👌🏻

[@gumby3332]

Enjoyed this episode. I've recently became a fan of 2PM and did not realize Nichkhun was from my area. A huge shoutout to him and the rest of 2PM❤❤❤

[@Shieerashid]

I like the way they both talked it it looks like I’m watching some intellectual talkshow when Eric asked question and Nichkhun answered with brilliant answers 💕

[@marklee0299]

Oh Nichkhun, nostalgia❤️... Btw it is clear that when they do individual/solo work, it is even not their choice. And they are even more exhausted and worn out than other members. I hope his words gives a change of mind to those who used to bash on the member from their fav group who's doing more solo works. They are working hard, outside their limit at some point. Let's be kind to everyone.

[@TheTrueBlueveyou]

Funny how Nichkhun is talking about cutting classes, when I did the same back in college to see him at a fanmeet in the PH haha. Never regretted missing a major subject just to see him in person! 💕 All is good as I am now a CPA for 6 yrs haha. Thanks Dive Studio and Eric for this full interview!! I've been a fan of 2PM for 15 yrs (watching this in 2023) and Nichkhun was my ultimate KPOP bias ever! This is the first time I am hearing him speak this long and on top of that in English such music to my ears. 😍 more power to Nichkhun and Eric! 🙏

[@nurdinashafiqahkamaruddin5327]

I love how sincere and honest Nickhun was in this video. I admire how open, humble, and ‘real-talk’ the discussion was from both Eric and Nickhun.

[@ShelianaSP]

I like how Nichkhun thinks

[@keikosakai4920]

One of my favorite memories from my childhood is Nichkhun from we got married 😂

[@gabrielcelo]

He's not just a pretty face. He's deep
