[Trans] 韓流 ぴあ(Hanryu PIA) [part 1]

Thai-Eng: Muize @2pmalways TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDITS

Not much time left for the event on December 8th! Here is the interview of 2PM,

the hottest k-pop group and “Q&A” which members have written it themselves. Check it out!

[Fans are my heart. I can’t live without it]

Entitled as beasts with the recognition of their masculine images


- This year Korean artists have come to make a debut in Japan. It looks like they’re the final secret weapon who are about to debut in Japan. We flew to Seoul to to ask them at first hand.-
Taecyeon - Both excited and delightful. Making a debut in Japan is such an honor. Still, I’m worried if we can make it good to the point that our seniors have done
Nichkhun - I’m more excited than worried. How are Japanese fans going to react to our debut? Since I’m the only foreign member of the group so debut as 2PM is like debut overseas too. I’ve received so much loves in Korea therefore I’d like to make another challenge in another country
Junsu - Actutally, the conversation of debut in Japan was once discussed between us and the president (JYP). It seems like Japanese fans had no special interest in us. Now the dream has come true
Nichkhun- Right, the president is extremely pleased

- Bonus track "Candy in my ears" which is the featuring of Baek Ji Yeong and Taecyeon is also included in DVD -
Taecyeon - We’ve always been together. Working aloof from the rest of the group with Baek Ji Yeong is a new experience. Isn’t it the way of getting to know other people in the industry? Well, I was well-known back then (laughs)

- On December 8th, the [01:59PM] album will be released for the first time in Japan -

Junho - A number of elements are packed into this album including every charms of 2PM from one year ago. We’re now upgraded!!
Wooyoung - "All Night Long" is a sweet song that doesn’t have much in 2PM albums. I like the feeling of a bit of sexiness. Most of the songs are about painful love then some of them must be sweet (laughs)

All the way to the top, take no prisoners!

- Last October, the "Still 2:00pm" album had been released by when they started the activity of “I’ll be back” -

Taecyeon - The filming was prolonged into next day morning to reach the acrobatic scene. We were all exhausted. Chansung even got injured. Although we felt a sense of frustration that we should have spent some more time, it turned out pretty cool
Chansung - During acrobatic, if you get just aminor accident, it can turn into a serious injure. Before debut, Park Jin Young hyung said “By the time you master acrobatic, you can make a debut” so we practiced like hell. I told myself that I understood yet I was shaken by the fear. If we can’t overcome that fear, we won’t be able to do it

- We had this interview after their comeback stage for the latest single. They were disappointed with it so they kept on practicing till late at night. More than that, I heard that they even practiced early that morning, on the day of the interview.-

Taecyeon - Every time we have our first stage, we think that it’s not enough. Thus we’ll practice more so that it’ll get better
Finally Japan Debut ! [We’re looking forward to your debut]

- Singing with eager attention and manly stage performance. But when they step down the stage, it’s totally different; the cuteness has been revealed. That’s why they’re so attractive. Plus they also live together with good relationships -

Junsu - Having no secrets to each other is what we’re worried about
Junho - Such as Wooyoung is talking with Junsu in a corner “What did you eat today?”. Even if it’s just a normal convo, I’ll feel like “aren’t you guys having some secrets?” ?” followed by asking “What? What”. It’ll be more entertaining if we have a secret to share (laughs)
Nichkhun - Yeah. Not just between us. Our secrets are all revealed even on shows
Taecyeon - What you see on those shows are the real us, nothing different. Or should we act cooler?

- Taecyeon, the joker of the group, knows Japanese better than the others. He also helps them with translation during the interview -
Taecyeon - I learned from "One piece" or "Bleach" but "Slam dunk" is my favorite
Nichkhun- I’m trying to leanr from Japanese dramas. I’m currently watching “GTO” . Sorimachi is so cool



- Regardless of their tight schedules, they’re working on their Japanese. Please say something to your fans in Japan -

Taecyeon - Please support us (in japanese)
Nichkhun- You can’t live without heart, don’t you? That’s what fans mean to me. I wish Japanese fans would love our songs and we show the original of 2PM asap!
Chansung - Although my japanese is beginner level, I’ll try hard so that I can convey my message to fans
Junho – I’ve received the strength from fans. I want to continue living like this with our Japanese fans
Wooyoung - Right. Fans are my everything. We’re going to meet you guys soon, please wait for us!
Junsu - Fans are the reason why we’re still singing. We’ll wait till the day we meet our fans
