Yeeeeaaayyyyyy😘🤩😘🤩😘🤩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

[@yaswicks4346]

Taecyeon has stayed relevant nearly 15yrs in the Korean media industry. Meanwhile maintaining his down-to-earth personality. Kudos!!🎉

[@kev8980]

💯

[@specTAECular3]

Exactly 🥲

[@mxgirl918]

JYP definitely saw something in the 6 guys when he put them into the same group. They click together well as a group but give each other space to be individuals while supporting one another. All of them are really down to earth and realistic when it comes to staying in the industry. They don't care that much of chasing after trends or music chart positions but instead they go for projects that suits them and make music that they like.

[@rouroume7085]

He was so underrated I can see that JYP doesn't like to be overshadowed by his male artists that's Why he been sticking his nose in every 2pm performance and got7 ... Twice

[@maxineyang1332]

From Dream High to Vincenzo, Taecyeon has made immense improvement. I'm still amazed at how well he played his character in Vincenzo

[@nyasha7721]

Facts..throw back to Cinderella sister.... -whistles*

[@buzzsetter]

I totally agree with you. The first time i saw him was on Cinderella sister kdrama then dream high 😍 and he really improved his acting skills :)

[@annastara3201]

Also, don't forget his performance in Save Me... I first saw him in Vincenzo, so seeing him later in the non-villanous roles was a lot to get accustomed to XD

[@khenzfylcee9571]

Dont forget also the game: toward zero secret royal inspector & joy , bring it on ghost and assembly

[@mimss5277]

VERY TRUE

[@kirrrsche]

I love that Taecyon just seems like a chill dude who goes along whatever comes his way. Acting? Sure, why not. Singing? Yeah, let's try.

[@bnmimi4ever]

I love that about him also

[@specTAECular3]

Yeah he's got such a cool (and definitely wise) personality that welcomes any challenges in his life and this is what I really love about him and causes me respect him even more and more 😍he's amazing

[@annejia5382]

Taecyeon describing TVXQ as a rookie was so cute 😂

[@Dhakira.97]

That Era was the best of kpop being a fan of almost all groups. But how he described Tvxq was like I was one of those girls with red balloons. Then I became his fan too.

[@Gaby-iz7gn]

Same here... And lived for 10 years in US, and speak very well English, he is very a friendly personality and nice when he travels and talk willingly with people. His voice and acting is very perfectly played in Vincenzo... Love it

[@sarahly8341]

The TVXQ era was legendary ❤ all the bands and artist of that era made it such a nostalgic era (coming from an a non kpop fan) 😂

Taec seems like the cool Uncle who will be half drunk, joking at family parties while having a dance battle with his nieces and nephews.

[@unicorn_homunculi111]

LMFAO 😂

[@wolfyblue]

i bet he's the type that'll definitely not go easy in that dance battle against his nephews, i can already see a small girl throw a ball at him for winning

[@fikrenzahra7005]

LOL the detail😂

[@cikbunga7613]

I feel old 😂😂😂

[@mxgirl918]

Funnily enough, in a variety program he called himself the uncle when asked what his role would be if 2PM was a family unit. Khun was the patriarch while Chansung was the family pet 😂

[@lilah3051]

I don’t think Taec realizes the international sensation they had and still do because they were the first “manly” and “beastly” idols that really generated a whole era of the tough idol image. Till this day, a lot of the strong and tough boy themes we see in our idol groups very much resemble what 2PM did whether groups do it intentionally or not.

[@dirys24]

wasnt tvxq the first one?

[@lilah3051]

@@dirys24 I love tvxq but lets be honest they were moreso the first popular sensual group and not the tough bad boy. Beastly as in manly and muscular was definitely 2pm. I cant remember a group as popular as them that did that concept better than them and JYP himself gave 2pm that theme of beastly and after that they were known as beastly idols. That trend didnt exist before them until 2pm made it popular i believe.

[@sramas757]

Loved this interview ❤

[@telletubby8070]

2pm members always talk about how close they are every time they have individual interviews is just so endearing for me 🥹❤

[@indahsari9145]

tell me about it

[@mxgirl918]

They are one if those groups who don't need to always post stuff about ot6 but everyone knows they are close, even those who work with them in their solo activities. They are brothers-from-another-mother.

"I forgot he speaks English" has the same vibe of people forgetting Hyoyeon's hair is not naturally blonde 🤣

Can we have Taecyeon as a lead in an english speaking tv series please omg, he speaking english is just tooo attractive

[@iyastar3551]

I like listening to Taecyeon speaking in English so fluently that I'm melted 😍😍😍

[@SmithCaro]

Taecyeon was perfect in Vincenzo !!! It is still one of my favourite K-dramas of all time 😊

[@ktay2124]

So true! I was so annoyed by his young intern persona then he turned out to be the villain! I was Dead! Such a good plot twist and brilliant acting. 🎉

[@NaturalAegyo]

​@@ktay2124It was well done. I was like... He is so miscast as this dopey intern what is happening?! Lol but the twist was amazing.

[@ybaesiuol1669]

I started stanning him because of Vincenzo & go over his dramas & concert videos

[@kimleemoon]

It’s one of my favorites too! He played that role so well. It’s how I discovered him and became a fan.

[@millasuini8307]

I'm put off by Joongki, is it worth the watch?

[@justfloatingthrough2457]

I always love hearing idols who were originally living outside Korea's audition stories haha. Taec's is just like Peniel's with a mix of some of Nickhun's and Young K.

[@steffanyjomoc]

And they were all initially JYP trainees. 😂

[@scattypetty]

They all just went for the lols and became stars 😁

[@medioreblatherskite]

came for the vibes and became celebrities lol

[@Anonymouscpa2]

I’m impressed how Taec has been able to maintain this level of English. I also lived in the states for 9 years for school and it’s been over 3 years since I returned to Asia - I can tell my English is deteriorating.

[@hotaruimai3719]

Ok, Where do I sign a petition to actually watch Taecyeon sit and react to his drama scenes? That's a Fabulous idea!!

[@geminizing]

I found Taecyeon through Vincenzo and he was SO good that I kind of just fell down a Taec/2PM rabbit hole and I haven't looked back since. They're such a great group, truly ahead of their time with their bops and Taec's as well as Junho's acting is so fun to watch. I really hope he gets cast in more international shows/movies, he's so talented and deserves the world 🥹🥹🥹

[@mariambasyouni2699]

no words can be enough to thank Daebak Show for making us, international fans, feel rich...Eric you're such an amazing human and an amazing host, all artists get so comfortable when they're with you, they share their stories with so much excitement and ease and you ask all the right questions without pushing hard on anything

[@tradebucket3562]

Taecyon deserves all of his success because he is one of the rare humble guys in the industry. He is just chill and enjoyed his work. Its true that luck and fortune will chase those who are very hard working, humble, kind and wise. I hope he stays that way. I will always support him. And I just love him as the crazy vampire in Hearbeat. ❤

[@k8innyc]

That was it!! "Heartbeat." I thought Taecyeon was a superb actor; was so natural. Then I learned he started in modeling via a NYC audition!! I think he has that personality in real life; (probably excellent parenting) comfortable in his own skin, genuine. And like the best in the business, figured "natural" worked in acting. And there you have it; a trained Korean actor probably debuting in some American series or movie; maybe one day standing up in an audience of his peers graciously accepting his first Golden Globe or Emmy or Oscar. Good Luck. Hope I'm around for it.

[@AnnaAnzi]

Eric calling Taecyeon seonbaenim at the end was honestly kinda funny just the pure joy on Taecyeons face was gold

Taecyeon is so relatable and not afraid to joke at his own expense. And “oh well, I’ll do better next time.” I was so surprised when Eric said they had never really talked before-from the conversation I was sure they must be old friends. I wanted to hear stories about Vincenzo-Taec’s acting is so good! I really believed he was his evil psychopath character, so it was kind of disturbing to find him so attractive!

[@hajnalaur1198]

This interview made me realise how 1st and 2nd generation were more older /grown up when they debut...While 3rd generation were so young and 4th is even younger, like Seventeen's Dino was 16 and Enhypen's Nikki was 14... And now there are even younger... It's scary how they didn't have time to grow up, room to make mistakes and learn and are exposed to everyone who judges them and all... I love Taecyeon's attitude, so positive and bright and so open... It's first interview that I am watching of his but huge fan of his dramas, and currently watching heartbeat. And I agree, after blind, heartbeat is like a fresh cool air after a summer heated sun...

[@hajnalaur1198]

@@JewelryB I got into Kpop in 2016, but tell me were they exception or the rule? Were these "tons of idols" the rule or the exception? Because now it is a rule, now the younger the better, now a Taecyeon wouldn't be given the time to get into college, experience real life before debuting. Now some of them barely would get the time to pass middle/high school before their debut. Now anyone over 23-25 would be told to not dream about ever debuting because they are past their prime time... Of course there are exceptions in every Gen but the general rule has changed and there should be no denial to it that the more time passes, the more the more they aren't given the opportunity to grow up like a normal kid because the industry has changed and they want fresh, young and all-round idols they can shape into certain curated personality that's in demand of the market, they now are products... This comment wasn't meant to provoke, it was an opinion many of us had, think about when we see younger and younger children debuting knowing how difficult the training is and how tougher the environment is in companies... One can't help but wonder how much pressure and difficulties they were put in such a young age and how they have to grow a thick skin and learn to handle some many things before even reaching adulthood... The thought behind the comment was one of compassion, not competition between the Gen...

[@mxgirl918]

I'm not sure whether to agree or disagree with your first statement....1st and 2nd gen were older but not that much older either. 1st gen: H.O.T, NRG, S.E.S and Fly to the Sky's maknaes turned 16 just before their debuts and these are just the ones who were very well-known and popular back then. All members were teenagers in international age. Shinhwa, Fin.KL and SechsKies are other well-known groups in which all members were teens at debut (aged 17 to 19). g.o.d was the rare one where their maknae was 18 and the 3 oldest members were in their 20s (well Joon was forced to lie about his age and the guy was 30 at debut). 2nd gen: DBSK ot5 debuted with maknae Changmin at age 15 while the oldest members were 17. Shinee's oldest hadn't even turned 19 and their maknae hadn't turned 15 yet. Big Bang's maknae hadn't turned 16 yet and their oldest was 18. SuJu (pre Kyuhyun), 2PM, Beast/Highlight were the few where everyone was 18 and above at debut and their oldest member(s) were aged 20 or above.

He should know that he unintentionally gave some good advice and I learned a lot from this episode. I like how unafraid he is at taking on new things and humble he is at admitting he might not do well yet still giving it a try👏🏼 it’s no surprise things work out for him well since he’s got a good mindset. Wish him and all 2pm the best…happy 2024!🙌🏻🥂🍻

Taecyeon was my first ever Kpop bias. This is very nostalgic to me. I suddenly remembered how much effort it took to be a fangirl in the late 2000s. lmao but 2PM and Taec was all worth it. Still love them so much.

[@mcprt13]

Taecyon's voice is music to the ears

[@Purveshchitre]

I like Taecyeon. But he made it even more relatable and think of him as “yeah, this guys is a normal person!” Cool af yes. But normal, with how he said, “free food, free drinks!” Stay fun and healthy Dive team and Taecyeon!

[@L_LEI]

To this day I’m still so impressed by his acting in Vincenzo, he did such a good job switching from nice to evil character 👏🏻👏🏻 Also Taecyeon is such a humble, nice and hardworking guy

[@gauthammnair354]

Taecyeon is one of the best actor in Korean industry,very fluent in English and so down to earth

[@crimson_sky]

Dude, you really think you’re not going viral or don’t have any impact in the current music scene? My House and Make It Right went viral and were really beloved by new audiences. Y’all need to keep making music if you’re able to. Don’t worry about if people will like it or not, they are guaranteed to like it

[@adisabrenda6055]

💯 absolutely they just need to continue making music and we will eat it up. i think the challenge is getting everyone together i mean look a Junho he has dramas back to back Taec too this dramas take a year to prep so i understand if making music is imposible.

[@alantes]

I think it is safe to say 2PM is more of less over and will only live as a wonderful club house full of memories that the members will want to visit occasionally yet sparingly. Taecyeon is still a very young man, yet this is how the idol industry works when you hit 30. And these companies usually whip the members in shape and force them to be active. W/o that push, most groups fade into inactive periods and individual projects. Takes money to produce, sell and promote music. They can still be qiate viable, but I'm afraid we will never see a real musical effort from these guys ever again.

​@@adisabrenda6055agreeed

[@shllromero]

@@alantes I don't think they are over. They will certainly have concerts perhaps every year and add one or two songs just for the fans. Anyway, hottest will always be important to 2PM and anything they do as a group or individual will always be fr hottest. Jun K. And Junho still releasing songs.

[@aikeikart8427]

However, they proved, time and again, that they take the group very seriously. They are having concert ahead for their 15th anniv, and Junho, JunK, and Wooyoung are actively releasing and producing songs for their solos or JYP groups/upcoming groups. Khun, Woo and JunK also went to Japan for mini concert/fanmeeting at the beginning of this year. Pretty much not over. If the concert is successful, I think they may consider touring Asia (Japan is the most likely their next destination for full fledged concert since their fanbase is quite huge and loyal there).

[@TaoRin_VVHL]

I'm so happy we're having more 2nd generation legends. I mostly listen when you invite legends like Changmin and Taecyeon. Also, I LOVE how Eric says "legend legend legend"

[@laedi6034]

Now it make sense why he was able to play a villian role in Vincenzo. I didn't know he left JYP already. Hahaha! I do hope he gets the role that he wants. Also his laugh is so contagious. 😊

[@helenkuo3433]

Taecyon's best in Vincenzo!! He was so good that my sister hated him and refused to watch any of his other dramas! Daebak!!

[@adilah1000]

people forgot taecyeon speaks english because there hasn't been a lot of him & english content in awhile!! so thank you for having him on the show!! very enjoyable 🥰🥰 ALSO i wish taecyeon lots of love to break into the western market!! would be so cool to see taecyeon more often ☺️ like the xo kitty cameo!! 😌

[@bumblebee74814]

OMG OMG OMG PLEASE HAVE ALL THE MEMBERS OF 2PM on Daebak show! Plizzzzzzzzz especially Junho 🤍

[@shiladeb8529]

From Heartbeat to here knowing more about him, I can say I like this guy, he got good humour 😂

[@rein_rein]

I have known him since dream high literally one of the first kdrama i watched He's really a lovely person and handsome actor

[@HopeeInk]

Who gonna tell Taec that his own fanbase sometimes forgets that he fluent in English 😂? This one made me giggle, because it happend to me in real life an absurd amount of times over the years. The amount of shock in people's faces when they hear that. 😂

[@haido9121]

I never thought it was possible but this might be my new favourite episode. Ever since Nichkhun came on, I've been praying for Taec to come on. Took awhile but I got what I wanted in the end.

[@Udii_The_Snowflake]

People hate on Villain characters, while I fall in love with them. Still can't move on from Taecyeon's Vincenzo character. The best villain in the whole kdrama industry for me.

[@RMe0t7]

I’m so glad that I joined the korean wave during that era in the days that 2PM and all those awesome groups mentioned were all in their prime although I was always a huge BigBang VIP, I loved following all those great groups in the early 2000s, I really fell for Taecyeon, his personality and humbleness, he was very respectful towards others not to mention how funny he is, I pretty much watched every show he appeared on. It’s so nice and refreshing to see he hasn’t changed one bit, I was pleasantly surprised to see Taec on the show💜

[@Dewanise]

I seriously don’t know that Ok Taecyeon speaks English!!! O.M.G!!! He is a really fun storyteller. I enjoy second of this vid! Thank you Eric!!!! ❤❤❤

[@daianesuavi94]

Loved Taec speaking in english, I really enjoyed the interview. It was funny, cute and personal, Taec is an amazing person he keeps being down to earth. But also knows he is capable and talented, we love you!

[@z00_hyunn]

I love the way he dress up normally, white black and a touch of denim. Their outfit always on another level even when we compared to the nowdays group. I love this side of Taecyeon. I need another group came up with a common guys concept, rather than superb

[@aprilsky8474]

I love the sound of his voice, wow.

[@kristinechen1]

I seriously didn't want the episode to end haha their friendship is so genuine and taecyeon is just hilarious

[@MinjiPark.0131]

OMG! Super thankful that this ep is generally in English - especially because it's Taecyon 😊😊😊

[@Loki_Yogi]

I'm an American that has completely fell in love with K-Dramas and everything Korean really. My Netflix homepage/recommendations etc., has been taken over by K-content. Imo, S. Korean entertainment is superior to Hollywood and is absolutely killin' it. I'm actually on episode 9 of 'Heartbeat' right now and I'm loving it. ❤️🇰🇷🙏

[@reshmichanda6551]

This guy is so so much fun like watching him talk, smile, his stories aahhhh so refreshing 😭😭🤌🤌

[@cara423]

Taec describing the familiness of 2pm is so true... even tho me and my fam are fam, we get angry at each other, say shit about each other but got each other's back and will be there for one another at any point in time, same goes for my homies too. May the 2pm bros always remain tight as true brothers♡ amen
