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.
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
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
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
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
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 😂
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
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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 🥹🥹🥹
This was so fun to watch! Finally Eric is joined by one of his Sunbaenims and isn’t being made fun of for his age 😂 adding heartbeat to the top of my list of dramas to watch✨
During 2nd gen, I was so fixated on looking at videos of kpop idols speaking English. I wasn’t a 2pm stan but I could never find a longer video of Taecyeon speaking English until this interview. It’s so cool. I love that he hasn’t lost his English
Yesterday only I finish 10 episodes of Vincenzo and I am already fan of Taecyeon ❤ His character was so brilliant being even a villain it was so good that you can’t even Hate him or ignore him. That’s how amazing actor he is ❤️🧿🤌🏼✌🏼🫶🏼
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.
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
Thanks for having Taecyeon on the show, always great to hear his English! My heart melted at the 2PM members' desire to protect the 2PM name. Not all groups are bonded the way they are, and that's why I love 2PM so much
OH MY GOD YOU GUYS ARE FINALLY HAVING TAECYEON ON??? THIS IS LITERALLY A DREAM COME TRUE 💚💚💚 I've been hoping for this ever since Khun's episode, and having my fingers crossed it would be a reality ever since I saw these Eric and Taec together at the Gold Gala 😭 Thank you to Dive Studios and everyone else who made this episode possible!
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!
It’s so nice to hear that he has good memories of his trainee years. He sounds happy talking about it and the fact his parents were so chill with it😂my parents could never
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. ❤
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.
Taecyeon talking about the process of how he ended up joining the JYP audition... I think it's really nice how his family is so supportive of him. It sounds like he has such a loving family that encourages him to try things out which is how he's able to be how he is now 😀
Thank you for getting Taecyeon on this show. So nice to hear him talking in a relaxed chilled way. i personally love hearing the interviews with 2nd generation idols
Taecyeon’s family did not just pass on the genes for looks, they’re also super supportive! Wow. If not for his noona driving them, we wouldn’t have seen him in 2PM and Dream High!
Yass!!! DBSK was BIG BIG. And I really admire Taec's optimism. I would think his trainee period and even his debut in 2pm would be filled with challenges. But his positive outlook on his life events (seeing them as new challenges to be faced and overcome) is really really really inspiring.
I haven’t heard Taecyeon speak English in sooooo long 😭 brings me back to original 2PM with him, Jay and Nichkun ♥️ Taecyeon my first idol crush, omg he is so beautiful he looks so good! This makes me want to watch some of the old 2PM shows omg they were hilarious. Idol shows back then are unmatched! Taecyeon is goofy he has such a down to earth personality ♥️
This totally changed my view on Taec; he’s totally the opposite of what I thought…he seemed so serious and he’s actually very chill and easy-going. 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!🙌🏻🥂🍻
his role in Vincenzo changed my life we got to see he's such an amazing actor he literally played two roles in one and he was so amazing in both, I just loved it
Taecyeon was the one idol/actor I’ve so desperately wanted Dive studios to invite after Nickhun, just because I know how entertaining he is, and plus I love hearing him talk so thank you Dive studios for finally letting it happen ❤
Never in my whole life knew that taecyeon can speak english as if it's his first language.. omgoshhh m so shocked😱 he's so good at this woww I'm so impressed👍
The way Taec talks about keeping up with how music is made now and how they want to protect 2PM is so on point. I think I’d be happy with them just being able to go on tour with their old songs if possible one day!
2PM will always have a special place in my heart ❤. I was following kpop a little before they debuted so it's a joy to see the idols I grew up with on here.
he is so chill while telling his career but looking at what he has been now, we dont wonder how persistent and hardworking he is. he is so determined for every single of works.
It's so surreal now seeing Taec casually mentioning all the other 2nd Gens groups cause before it was even hard to hear them talk about other groups as much. I forgot how big they were back then and a lot of them are still super humble now.
When he was talking about TVXQ and Miriotic, i teared up 😢 it was a great era for cassies. I miss them a lot. I did fall in love with 2pm and snsd too so I was still a happy kpop fan. (And it makes me happy seeing Junho and Yoona in the same drama) I miss the second the generation so much
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!! 😌
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💜
Taecyeon is good story teller. He is quite cool! I like how he sets boundaries on staying away from the stereotypes Asian roles. We need people like him for Asian representation 👍
This was an amazing interview. Tacyeon is so likeable and funny and really loved the interaction between him and Eric. They were both so relaxed and relatable.
I can never forget Taecyeon's line in VC ... That "Mafia bastard"... I started supporting him from Vinzenco. His villainess aura made me fall in love. Yaaaaa 😍❤
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.
Ive been coming back here a lot to rewatch this ever so often, like i need to see them interact more, I am praying to Gods to see another episode with Taecyeon, or maybe next time an episode with both Nickhun and Taecyeon cause i reaaaally enjoyed this so freaking much
Heard he signed with an international agency. Since vincenzo i`m head over heels for this man, he`s an amazing actor, and seem to be a good guy as well. I`m very much rooting for him to get even bigger roles and break thru in Hollywood. God bless you.
Heartbeat is such a fun and heartwarming show. I know he is a great actor,performer, so versatile! He seems so down to earth, i will definitely have become a fan and wish him nothing but the best. ❤
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...
@@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...
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.
Hanseok was his only villain role .😉 altho we think he's done many villain roles that's bc he nailed it, actually he's done many positive roles already I recommend u to watch "BLIND" "the game towards zero" and " bring it on ghost " 😉💚 He's led many other shows too
I didn't realize that series was so new when I watched it on Prime. I loved it, so much fun! Taecyeon is an excellent actor. There was a time when US TV shows were 22-24 episodes/season. I miss those days. But also, US shows don't always know when to end.
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.
2PM were & are LEGENDS of kpop! They were truely the GOLDEN DAYS and the fact that they're still around and give out QUALITY MUSIC after 15 years is truely admirable 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 And Taec is always funny & delightful😂🥰 The talents of Taecyeon are innumerable really: -one of the best rappers of Kpop, if not THE BEST - a trustworthy actor, always chooses different & orginal roles - an awesome composer both for 2PM & his solo music - THE BEST PERSONALIYY EVER💚 besides being a smart brain, having a master, running a business & speaking multiple languages fluently, he's the kindest & most fun soul to be around & people in the industry whether they've met him recently or knew him for a long time can testify to that! Also, Hottest( 2PM's fandom) call him the president of the fandom, exactly cause he responds to fans tweets so randomly😂😂😂 & is always aware of the concerns & worries they have. He's like a bestie for the fandom and that's why we love him💚 🎉 So excited for 2PM's 15th Anniversary Concert in September💃
THANK YOU ERIC NAM. Daebak show is always bringing the best guests on. Taec is THE beast idol and he's accomplished so much. We love seeing him enjoying his time and being himself. This is my FAVORITE interview to date 🔥💜
I love how Eric and Taecyeon talked about dial up internet and Eric casually mentioning "I know we 19 forever but--" then Taecyeon replying with "Aww this is very sad" *bro I felt that* 😂 @7:37
I noticed that all of us experienced the same pain in the 2000 year’s doesn’t matter where we are from. I’m from Brazil and I lived the same Internet plot that he said. 😂😂
Same here from Germany. Me shouting from the cellar infront of the family computer "mum can you get off the phone? I have to look for a song lyrics to print" 😂
This is one of the hottest and most suave interview. Not coz he's from 2PM but coz he looks comfy as he is and Eric Nam, as always, knows how to make everything comfy.
He was incredible in vincenzo! And he seems so pleasant and easy-going (and handsome). Also, there's so many idols I didn't know that speak english or lived abroad lol
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!
It was fun to listen Teacyeon's talking about TVXQ. People seem forget it these days but TVXQ as 5 was REALLY huge. And the era they are talking about was their peak. It's still so unfortunate that they had to split at their peak. They could be even huger if the things didn't happen.
I love the interaction between Eric and Taecyeon, especially how they could relate to each other about the limited use of internet during the old days. I've been a huge fan of TVXQ since 2005, love 2pm in 2010, and kpop during that era was the best time. 2005-2014 was like the best time, at least in my opinion. I was so surprised to see Taecyeon's acting in Cinderella's Man and since then, I've been keeping up with all his drama.
@dirys24 Kdrama was pretty lit back then, and sadly, no. I rarely watch Korean drama nowadays unless it's my favorite actors/actresses, or the storyline is great.
Watching Cinderella's Sister while it was airing and looking him up was what kind of got me into kpop. I didn't know that some actors in shows did more than acting so i was curious. Then SS501, Shinee, Rainbow, etc....yeah that era of Kpop was actually insane. When Dream High dropped right after I was officially in. TH-cam circa 2009-10 for kpop MVs and Korean variety shows was like going to war everyday trying to find a link that worked.

Yaay🎉🎉🎉
Yess 🎉
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Omg YES
Yeeeeaaayyyyyy😘🤩😘🤩😘🤩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Taecyeon has stayed relevant nearly 15yrs in the Korean media industry. Meanwhile maintaining his down-to-earth personality. Kudos!!🎉
💯
Exactly 🥲
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.
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
Oh he's not that down to earth back in the day lol he got that celebrity disease before 😂
From Dream High to Vincenzo, Taecyeon has made immense improvement. I'm still amazed at how well he played his character in Vincenzo
Facts..throw back to Cinderella sister.... -whistles*
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 :)
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
Dont forget also the game: toward zero secret royal inspector & joy , bring it on ghost and assembly
VERY TRUE
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.
I love that about him also
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
he was literally incredible in vincenzo like it suited him so well and I couldn’t comprehend his duality in that kdrama it’s crazy
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.
LMFAO 😂
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
LOL the detail😂
I feel old 😂😂😂
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 😂
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
Taecyeon is someone that seems so authentic, down to earth, very grounded, sincere and nice.
2pm members always talk about how close they are every time they have individual interviews is just so endearing for me 🥹❤
tell me about it
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 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.

Loved this interview ❤
Taecyeon was perfect in Vincenzo !!! It is still one of my favourite K-dramas of all time 😊
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. 🎉
@@ktay2124It was well done. I was like... He is so miscast as this dopey intern what is happening?! Lol but the twist was amazing.
I started stanning him because of Vincenzo & go over his dramas & concert videos
It’s one of my favorites too! He played that role so well. It’s how I discovered him and became a fan.
I'm put off by Joongki, is it worth the watch?
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.
And they were all initially JYP trainees. 😂
They all just went for the lols and became stars 😁
came for the vibes and became celebrities lol
I like Taecyeon speaking voice❤️
it's so deep and soothing
Its deep and something🎉

Sexy
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.
And he acted Vincenzo so perfectly 🥹🥹
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 🥹🥹🥹
SAMEE
Me toooo !!!!!
2pm is chaotic! The video where 2pm is over Taec, is the funniest 😭
Same here. His antagonist character was so effective that I was intrigued.😊 and since then I liked Taecyon!
Such a charismatic villain may I said
This was so fun to watch! Finally Eric is joined by one of his Sunbaenims and isn’t being made fun of for his age 😂 adding heartbeat to the top of my list of dramas to watch✨
88-liner
During 2nd gen, I was so fixated on looking at videos of kpop idols speaking English. I wasn’t a 2pm stan but I could never find a longer video of Taecyeon speaking English until this interview. It’s so cool. I love that he hasn’t lost his English
Right?! I was alredy into kpop before they debuted and as the time passed I had completely forgotten he speaks English lol
Well he had filmed we got married international version fully in english.
@@littleheavenpg that’s cool. I’m not a huge fan so I didn’t know. I just used to watch compilations 😅
I had no clue he even spoke English! Variety shows always made a fuss about Nick speaking English that I thought he was the only one.
he from US so...
Can we have Taecyeon as a lead in an english speaking tv series please omg, he speaking english is just tooo attractive
Yesterday only I finish 10 episodes of Vincenzo and I am already fan of Taecyeon ❤ His character was so brilliant being even a villain it was so good that you can’t even Hate him or ignore him. That’s how amazing actor he is ❤️🧿🤌🏼✌🏼🫶🏼

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) 😂
i miss 2008 ❤❤TVXQ❤❤
Wooooo Cassopeian assembled!
Thanks for having Taecyeon on the show, always great to hear his English! My heart melted at the 2PM members' desire to protect the 2PM name. Not all groups are bonded the way they are, and that's why I love 2PM so much
OH MY GOD YOU GUYS ARE FINALLY HAVING TAECYEON ON??? THIS IS LITERALLY A DREAM COME TRUE 💚💚💚 I've been hoping for this ever since Khun's episode, and having my fingers crossed it would be a reality ever since I saw these Eric and Taec together at the Gold Gala 😭 Thank you to Dive Studios and everyone else who made this episode possible!
You and I both. Now if he wants to have the other 2PM members on I won't be mad.
The vincenzo reference 😂
Can't wait to see Taeyeon next project. Love this episode.
Frrrrrrrr
A nice full enter view in English about his life before and when starting in the industry:
I like listening to Taecyeon speaking in English so fluently that I'm melted 😍😍😍
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!
Taecyeon's deep voice is just so good to listen to oh my
It’s so nice to hear that he has good memories of his trainee years. He sounds happy talking about it and the fact his parents were so chill with it😂my parents could never
I believe the golden years of kpop were 2008-2010.
It's actually 2008-2012 💛
@@annejia5382truee
True those days were ours
Soo true
Indeed..because for me it was not the same since 2011 (where db5k stopped being 5)
Ok, Where do I sign a petition to actually watch Taecyeon sit and react to his drama scenes? That's a Fabulous idea!!
Yes, ikr?!
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. ❤

Exactly !
Ah for real !! T_T THANKS TO HIS SISTER 😍🥲🙏
I love Taecyeon's acting so much, especially Heartbeat and Vincenzo! Also, FULL TAECYEON SHOW IN ENGLISH!!!😊
A very intelligent man, definitely has a depth, well-mannered & friendly at the same time. The agency back then, did a good job casting him 👌
Yass!!! DBSK was BIG BIG. And I really admire Taec's optimism. I would think his trainee period and even his debut in 2pm would be filled with challenges. But his positive outlook on his life events (seeing them as new challenges to be faced and overcome) is really really really inspiring.
He's such a chilled person, and finds fun in everything, it's amazing. He doesn't stress himself out and just does his best.
I haven’t heard Taecyeon speak English in sooooo long 😭 brings me back to original 2PM with him, Jay and Nichkun ♥️ Taecyeon my first idol crush, omg he is so beautiful he looks so good! This makes me want to watch some of the old 2PM shows omg they were hilarious. Idol shows back then are unmatched! Taecyeon is goofy he has such a down to earth personality ♥️
Oooh podcast with Nichkhun and Taecyeon 🥰
omgoshh u are so right i rmb the 2pm show days where they spoke english so much :'))
OK Taecyeon, is now and forever cemented in my heart....along with Minjun, Nichkhun, Wooyoung, Junho and Chansung!!
Taecyeon is so laid back. It's so refreshing.
This totally changed my view on Taec; he’s totally the opposite of what I thought…he seemed so serious and he’s actually very chill and easy-going. 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!🙌🏻🥂🍻
Need to add, I went to a 2pm concert in 2015 and they did amazing! Wish they had toured the states in celebration of their 15th anniversary too.
his role in Vincenzo changed my life we got to see he's such an amazing actor he literally played two roles in one and he was so amazing in both, I just loved it
My partner wasn’t into kdramas but when we watched Vincenzo together he became obsessed! He keeps taking about wanting season 2 to come out 😂
@@maggiepp7997 Oh yessss we need another season 🙏🙏🙏
I love how he starts off a bit awkward in his English and then gradually as the interview goes on his fluency returns. So cute😢
Taecyeon was the one idol/actor I’ve so desperately wanted Dive studios to invite after Nickhun, just because I know how entertaining he is, and plus I love hearing him talk so thank you Dive studios for finally letting it happen ❤
Never in my whole life knew that taecyeon can speak english as if it's his first language.. omgoshhh m so shocked😱 he's so good at this woww I'm so impressed👍
The best, the humblest, the funniest, the kindest, the smartest 2pm member, only Ok Taecyeon! The often unappreciated actor. The best actor of many!
"I forgot he speaks English" has the same vibe of people forgetting Hyoyeon's hair is not naturally blonde 🤣
He grew up in the US and later went back to Korea
i actually forgot that
LMAOO
@@lasvegasnevada7514 i know
@@annejia5382 bet that person only read the first part and ignored the quotation marks lol I swear some people lowkey want to boast their knowledge
The way Taec talks about keeping up with how music is made now and how they want to protect 2PM is so on point. I think I’d be happy with them just being able to go on tour with their old songs if possible one day!
I love the way how Taecyeon described a relation between 2PM , We were like a family and close to each others .
It shows 2PM really means family ❤️
Eric calling Taecyeon seonbaenim at the end was honestly kinda funny just the pure joy on Taecyeons face was gold
This man is one of the most relatable and modest men in the k-pop industry and he really does deserve all he has!
love you ok taec-yeon
2PM will always have a special place in my heart ❤. I was following kpop a little before they debuted so it's a joy to see the idols I grew up with on here.
Taec talking English without trolling us is a rare occasion, love you sm 😂💚
he is so chill while telling his career but looking at what he has been now, we dont wonder how persistent and hardworking he is. he is so determined for every single of works.
this is the first time I heard TAECYEON speaks english and it's sounds reaaalllllyyyyyyyyyyy good. Lets do another english podcast !!
I can watch him speaking English for hours and hours
Melting !!
It's so surreal now seeing Taec casually mentioning all the other 2nd Gens groups cause before it was even hard to hear them talk about other groups as much. I forgot how big they were back then and a lot of them are still super humble now.
When he was talking about TVXQ and Miriotic, i teared up 😢 it was a great era for cassies. I miss them a lot.
I did fall in love with 2pm and snsd too so I was still a happy kpop fan. (And it makes me happy seeing Junho and Yoona in the same drama)
I miss the second the generation so much
I just finished blind and i love his character and his acting
Bring him back for another interview or some games 😍
This guy is so so much fun like watching him talk, smile, his stories aahhhh so refreshing 😭😭🤌🤌
As a 40 year old, I totally understood the internet convo 😂
As a 28 year old, and fellow younger millennial agree 😂😂😂
Yup, it gave me flashbacks to my Return to Castle Wolfstein days on dial-up.
As a 26 year old person I also understood that convo & thats how I know that I am actually old 😂
I’m 30 and I completely relate to this 🥲 such good memories 🥰
And I’m still on dsl…..sigh
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!! 😌
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💜
Taecyeon is good story teller. He is quite cool! I like how he sets boundaries on staying away from the stereotypes Asian roles. We need people like him for Asian representation 👍
Taec seems like such a chill and grounded dude. Love love love him since Vincenzo. And now Heartbeat.
This was an amazing interview. Tacyeon is so likeable and funny and really loved the interaction between him and Eric. They were both so relaxed and relatable.
I can never forget Taecyeon's line in VC ... That "Mafia bastard"... I started supporting him from Vinzenco. His villainess aura made me fall in love. Yaaaaa 😍❤
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.
What a fun and lighthearted interview. ❤❤❤ Eric Nam and Ok Taecyeon!
Taecyeon is genuinely the finest man ever
I need more content from Taecyeon.. He is so much fun, that fine man really wins the heartbeat 😘
Ive been coming back here a lot to rewatch this ever so often, like i need to see them interact more, I am praying to Gods to see another episode with Taecyeon, or maybe next time an episode with both Nickhun and Taecyeon cause i reaaaally enjoyed this so freaking much
Same 😭
@@KT-ls2sv One day we will get another episode of Daebak show with Taecyeon, I believe🙏
Heard he signed with an international agency. Since vincenzo i`m head over heels for this man, he`s an amazing actor, and seem to be a good guy as well. I`m very much rooting for him to get even bigger roles and break thru in Hollywood. God bless you.
Taecyeon is one of the best actor in Korean industry,very fluent in English and so down to earth
Heartbeat is such a fun and heartwarming show. I know he is a great actor,performer, so versatile! He seems so down to earth, i will definitely have become a fan and wish him nothing but the best. ❤
taecyeon’s voice is so nice to listen to
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...
@@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...
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.
Taecyon's voice is music to the ears
He is one of the best korean actor. The way he played Babel CEO 😍my god !! He should play hero as well as villain roles too . He is just too good
Hanseok was his only villain role .😉 altho we think he's done many villain roles that's bc he nailed it, actually he's done many positive roles already
I recommend u to watch "BLIND" "the game towards zero" and " bring it on ghost " 😉💚
He's led many other shows too
I didn't realize that series was so new when I watched it on Prime. I loved it, so much fun! Taecyeon is an excellent actor. There was a time when US TV shows were 22-24 episodes/season. I miss those days. But also, US shows don't always know when to end.
The Oppa of all Oppas, i love how he is always himself
I just think everything he does is beautiful in every way
I love the sound of his voice, wow.
Ok TaecYon
What a charming, fun, articulate, unpretentious, and warm hearted person.
I wish you all the best.
What a lovely smile he has. Have been listening to alot of 2 PM this year. Also starting watching Heartbeat due to this interview. Very cute.
Taecyeon is so talented.. I'm a fan of his mischievous eyes and smile ❤
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.
2PM were & are LEGENDS of kpop! They were truely the GOLDEN DAYS and the fact that they're still around and give out QUALITY MUSIC after 15 years is truely admirable 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
And Taec is always funny & delightful😂🥰 The talents of Taecyeon are innumerable really:
-one of the best rappers of Kpop, if not THE BEST
- a trustworthy actor, always chooses different & orginal roles
- an awesome composer both for 2PM & his solo music
- THE BEST PERSONALIYY EVER💚 besides being a smart brain, having a master, running a business & speaking multiple languages fluently, he's the kindest & most fun soul to be around & people in the industry whether they've met him recently or knew him for a long time can testify to that!
Also, Hottest( 2PM's fandom) call him the president of the fandom, exactly cause he responds to fans tweets so randomly😂😂😂 & is always aware of the concerns & worries they have. He's like a bestie for the fandom and that's why we love him💚
🎉 So excited for 2PM's 15th Anniversary Concert in September💃
I have known him since dream high literally one of the first kdrama i watched
He's really a lovely person and handsome actor
Taecyeon is such a versatile actor and I'm loving Heartbeat!
he is so chill.
THANK YOU ERIC NAM. Daebak show is always bringing the best guests on. Taec is THE beast idol and he's accomplished so much. We love seeing him enjoying his time and being himself. This is my FAVORITE interview to date 🔥💜
I love how Eric and Taecyeon talked about dial up internet and Eric casually mentioning "I know we 19 forever but--" then Taecyeon replying with "Aww this is very sad" *bro I felt that* 😂 @7:37
Same xD AOL word is a time travel machine for me xD
I noticed that all of us experienced the same pain in the 2000 year’s doesn’t matter where we are from. I’m from Brazil and I lived the same Internet plot that he said. 😂😂
Same here from Germany. Me shouting from the cellar infront of the family computer "mum can you get off the phone? I have to look for a song lyrics to print" 😂
This is one of the hottest and most suave interview. Not coz he's from 2PM but coz he looks comfy as he is and Eric Nam, as always, knows how to make everything comfy.
Watched Cinderella Sister after this podcast. Unbelievable performance. Can't believe it's Taecyeon's first drama.. he was born to be a star..
He was incredible in vincenzo! And he seems so pleasant and easy-going (and handsome). Also, there's so many idols I didn't know that speak english or lived abroad lol
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!
It was fun to listen Teacyeon's talking about TVXQ. People seem forget it these days but TVXQ as 5 was REALLY huge. And the era they are talking about was their peak. It's still so unfortunate that they had to split at their peak. They could be even huger if the things didn't happen.
OMG! Super thankful that this ep is generally in English - especially because it's Taecyon 😊😊😊
I love the interaction between Eric and Taecyeon, especially how they could relate to each other about the limited use of internet during the old days. I've been a huge fan of TVXQ since 2005, love 2pm in 2010, and kpop during that era was the best time. 2005-2014 was like the best time, at least in my opinion.
I was so surprised to see Taecyeon's acting in Cinderella's Man and since then, I've been keeping up with all his drama.
2005 damnnnnn i was born that year. kdramas were also lit back then. have you seen my name is kim samsoon/ my lovely samsoon?
@dirys24 Kdrama was pretty lit back then, and sadly, no. I rarely watch Korean drama nowadays unless it's my favorite actors/actresses, or the storyline is great.
Watching Cinderella's Sister while it was airing and looking him up was what kind of got me into kpop. I didn't know that some actors in shows did more than acting so i was curious. Then SS501, Shinee, Rainbow, etc....yeah that era of Kpop was actually insane. When Dream High dropped right after I was officially in. TH-cam circa 2009-10 for kpop MVs and Korean variety shows was like going to war everyday trying to find a link that worked.
