[News] 2PM Wooyoung and Shin Bora share a ‘SamGaeTang Kiss’ on Gag Concert?
2PM‘s Wooyoung made an appearance on the most recent episode of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Gag Concert – Discoveries of Life‘.
During his portion of the episode, Wooyoung transformed into a ‘cute yet sexy beast-dol‘ for comedian Shin Bora and showcased his extreme ‘Celebrity Syndrome‘ as part of the comedy. When comedian Song Jun Geun came up to the star saying it’s a coming together of the ‘cutlass’ and ‘anchovy’, Wooyoung replied incongruously to the question, “No pictures. I can’t take personal photos.” In addition, when Kim Ki Ri offered the singer the menu folder, he again replied, “I’ll sign that for you later“, of out no where. He even mistook his boss’s text message as proof of ‘stalking’ of a crazed fan.
The 2PM member did not hesitate with the corny lovey-dovey scenes either. When Shin Bora tried to dip a piece of chicken in salt to feed the singer, Wooyoung stated, “I wanna dip them on your lips“, stealing the hearts of the female audience. The highlight of the show was Shin Bora and Wooyoung’s ‘SamGaeTang kiss’.
Although the on-screen couple seemed “oh-so in love”, when Song Jun Geun asked Shin Bora, “If Taecyeon and Wooyoung both confessed to you at the same time, would you have picked Wooyoung?” she would not give a straight answer, humiliating Wooyoung.

[News] Witness at the scene of Nichkhun’s accident says it was not entirely the 2PM member’s fault
While 2PM‘s Nichkhun was detained without constraint for driving under the influence of alcohol, a witness who was at the scene of the recent accident says Nichkhun was not entirely at fault.
At 2:30 in the morning of July 24th, an accident occurred between a motorcycle and Nichkhun’s Volkswagen at an intersection in Gangnam. At the time, Nichkhun was returning home after having two beers at a company dinner. His blood alcohol level was measured at 0.056%, causing his license to become suspended.
Witness ‘A’ (39) who was at the scene of the accident recalled the incident in detail to Herald News on July 25th.
“Nichkhun’s vehicle and the motorcycle were coming towards each other at the Ahn Sae Hospital four-way intersection in a cross direction,” the witness began. “The motorcycle was coming down the road, and Nichkhun’s vehicle was driving up. The motorcycle was on the left making a right, when it bumped into the right side of Nichkhun’s vehicle.”
After the initial collision, Nichkhun’s vehicle had suffered a few scratches. The witness then explained, “I think the secondary shock had caused the body of the motorcyclist to turn and hit the right side of Nichkhun’s car near the tire. With that said, I think Nichkhun had the chips on his car because the body of the motorcyclist had run into it.”
“I would say both drivers were driving poorly,” the witness continued. “This accident is not 100% Nichkhun’s fault. Both drivers were speeding, and even if they did come to an abrupt stop, it was not a situation where they could have avoided an accident.”
“I think this will have a huge impact on Nichkhun’s image. I hope he does not suffer too much harm because of this,” the witness added.
In regards to the collision, Seoul’s Gangnam Police Station currently investigating the incident also ruled that Nichkhun’s drinking had nothing to do with the accident itself. The police have not received a statement from the motorcyclist about the accident, and therefore the police plan on revisiting the scene of the accident to do some on-the-spot inspection once they receive a written report from the driver. The two driver’s negligence in regards to the accident will be determined then.
To better handle the situation, 119 (Korea’s 911) was called immediately after the collision and the rescue team had mobilized to the scene. According to witness A, Nichkhun “turned so pale, he was so remorseful and shocked. The driver of the motorcycle was on the ground at the time, so he looked extremely panicked.” The witness also denied the reports that spoke of an argument that allegedly took place between the two drivers after the collision.
Following the accident, the motorcyclist went with witness A in the ambulance to Konkuk University Medical Center and was treated for his torn ear cartilage. The driver also received a CT scan and an X-Ray. Witness A remarked, “There was a lot of blood, and he complained of pain in his back and shoulders.”
The motorcyclist is currently hospitalized at Hyemin General Hospital in Jayang-dong. He is reported to have “small damage in his first lumbar bone, and a scratch in his shoulder bone,” causing him to be unable to move.
JYP Entertainment has publicly apologized for the accident, saying that they will “earnestly oblige to any follow-up investigations that may be necessary.” They are also “in close contact with the motorcyclist, and are doing their best to make sure he is not uncomfortable during his treatment.”

It was also added that Nichkhun exhibited veteran-like acting skills despite being a newcomer.
An estimated 200 reporters showered the press conference with questions and camera flashes, whereas nearly 300 reporters were present for the red carpet and stage greeting. 2,000 fans were also present for the latter events.
The premiere event in particular was a large scale event with 1,000 people in attendance including representatives from JYPE, the central media, and local officials, confirming the anticipation surrounding Nichkhun and the upcoming release of the film on the 26th.
Nichkhun spoke up during the event saying, “I’m so glad to be able to attend the premiere of my first movie as an actor. It’s a new experience. I think this movie will always have a place in my heart because I had a great time filming it. I want to thank all those who helped me and waited for me.”

[News] 2PM’s Wooyoung discusses who has the best body in 2PM
Hard work doesn’t lie! 2PM may have always held title of the idol group with the best bodies, but this is because 2PM members work hard and compete against themselves to maintain their bodies.
In Korea, the best indicator of the hottest male entertainers is the cover of Men’s Health magazine: 2PM members Wooyoung, Nichkhun, Chansung, and Taecyeon have all been featured as cover models in the past. This year, Wooyoung beat out other stars like Lee Joon, Dongjun, baseball players Choo Shin Soo and Lee Seung Yeob, Taecyeon, comedian Yoon Hyung Bin, and even actor Cha Seung Won, in the 7th Men’s Health Cool Guy competition, and was featured in the July edition of the magazine.
Even with his new title, Wooyoung selected Nichkhun as the member with the best body in 2PM, as he said, “Nichkhun has experience with Muay Thai (a Thai combat sport). He has muscles that you can’t make from just working out. Chansung works the hardest for his body. Among 2PM members, Chansung exercises the most.” He also said that Junsu focuses more on being well-balanced and healthy, rather than only working out.
Wooyoung continued, “Members watch their diets carefully for about 2 weeks, before a photo shoot. If we eat the way we regularly do, it breaks the balance in our bodies and makes it harder to create a nice shape. We watch our diets for 2-3 weeks when we need to.”
This month, Wooyoung has been promoting his new solo album, ‘23, Male, Single‘ with his title song, ‘Sexy Lady‘.
