Chansung × Taecyeon
Taecyeon and Chansung became icons of “Beastly Idols” with their beauty and perfect sculpturesque bodies. What is hidden behind their cool looks…?

--- We have this image that Taecyeon is a big brother, and Chansung is the youngest one. What is it like in real life?
CS: Taecyeon always has his strong will and leads the team at the right time….
TY: …What a cool guy.
CS: I was about to say that! LOL He also has a good sense of humor.
TY: Although Chansung is the youngest in 2PM, he is more like a friend who is reliable and gives me convincing pieces of advice. However, at the same time he has a cute side of his. He often bites people.
CS: Yes, frequently. LOL I feel like biting people when I am in a good mood.

--- Chansung, I heard that once you had 49 bananas in a day. Are there any more “legendary” stories of you two?
CS: One day when we were still trainees, a staff-member took us to a kimbab restaurant.
TY: We were always hungry back then, right?
CS: So the sad story was that... The three of us ordered 12 portions of kimbab. The staff-member had one and Taecyeon and I ate the rest.

--- Which part of Taecyeon’s or Chansung’s personality has changed the most since your debut?
CS: Taecyeon never fails to put 2PM first. That part of him hasn’t changed.
TY: The thing about Chansung that hasn’t changed is the fact that he has always been working very hard, so I think he made the biggest improvement among the members.

--- In your opinion, what kind of lady would match Taecyeon/Chansung?
CS: I think someone who has a kind heart and could accept Taecyeon as he is would match him.
TY: Right now, even if Chansung had a girlfriend, he might prioritize 2PM over her. She has to be broad-minded and understand his position.

--- If a lady just like what you’ve said appeared and you both fell in love with her…
CS: Ah, I would surrender.
TY: Oh okay, then I’d go out with her. LOL No, the most important thing is the lady’s opinion, so I’ll leave up to her to decide. So anyway, why would you give up so easily?
CS: I don’t want to have any trouble with Taecyeon, because we will be working together in the future...
TY: See? This is the reason why Chansung’s woman has to be someone very understanding.
CS: I see. I wonder if I can find such a person though… LOL

--- Lastly, what do you think will become of you in 10 years’ time?
CS: I think Taecyeon will be a model for a European top class brand. I think he’ll become a grown-up, who suits that sort of fashion.
TY: Thank you. LOL I think Chansung will be a singer who specializes in ballroom dancing.
CS: Hahahaha.What is that!?
TY: You’ll be a first person to do singing and ballroom dancing at the same time. LOL But I am sure we will continue being 2PM. I think each of us will be doing our own things, and get together as fellow members and good friends in 10 years of time.

Wooyoung×Nichkhun
Nichkhun and Wooyoung think deeply and listen well to each other in an amiable atmosphere…
--- To your mind, which part of Nichkhun’s or Wooyoung’s personality have changed the most since your debut?
NK: Wooyoung has become very mature. Originally, he was such a constrained man. He used to relay his ideas and opinions to me in secret, but now he can share his ideas with everyone else. He gave up a lot of things because of the fear and anxiety he had, but he can now overcome those feelings since he had a lot of practice, I think.
WY: Exactly! I am now trying to get rid of my fears, and also trying to have various kinds of talks with the other members. You really are watching over me, Nichkhun.
NK: Yes, I think that’s because I am a bit older than you. LOL
WY: Nichkhun has always been my role model as a big brother. His warm heart and kindness never changes.

--- When did you feel Nichkhun’s kindness the most?
 WY: There’ve been a lot of moments…
NK: Hahaha.
WY: Ah! This was when we were having dinner with the other members right after the first concert. As always I was anxious thinking how I am lacking in many ways in comparison to other members, because I had only 3~4 months of training before debut. So, I told them I was sorry for the lack of me abilities. Nichkhun embraced me tight and said “What are you talking about? No one thinks like that.”
NK: I can’t remember though? LOL
WY: Yeah, I was so touched I cried that day.

---Nichkhun, in what way do you find Wooyoung cute?
NK: Wooyoung is always cute. LOL He makes the members smile and relax, when they are feeling blue or irritated. Wooyoung is just too cute.
WY: Do I really do that? LOL
NK: Yeah, always~.

--- In your opinion, what kind of lady would match Nichkhun/ Wooyoung?
WY: First of all, she has to have a good character. She has to be honest, kind and understanding ofNichkhun’s job and dream.
NK: Thank you! For Wooyoung, I think someone who can amuse him would be good because he makes others laugh all the time. A girl who is honest, has her own opinion, and can carry out many kinds of conversations with him, just like a friend.
WY: *claps*

--- Lastly, if you were to give a present for Nichkhun/ Wooyoung, what would you get for him?
WY: What should I get?
NK: Hmm…I think the thing I would like to give Wooyoung is time. It would be nice if he could use the time to reflect upon himself or let his body rest for a while.
WY: I want to give Nichkhun the world’s best piano.
NK: That’s very expensive~. I should’ve worked harder on my piano lessons when I was little.
WY: But if you had worked very hard and became a pianist, you wouldn’t have become a member of 2PM. So that’s good you didn’t work hard on it!
NK: *claps*
WY: That’s the fate!

[Hanako #1011 BLAQ in My Heart]

-Group interview-

MBLAQ who stands out with unique concept "sexy vampires" finally on Hanako with their 2nd single "Baby U!".
We'll introduce you their unique characters.

- You had many schedules in Japan in 2011. Could you tell us what you worked hard on the most?
G.O: Shall we introduce the effort made by the person sitting next to ourselves?
- Yes, please!
G: Cheondung took a part in writing lyrics for "Baby U!". He researched what kind of songs are appreciated
in Japan, and also bought many magazines to study fashion.
Cheondung: I was curious what kind of songs and outfits Japanese fans like.
Well, I'll talk about Mir then. Mir always checked weather forecast before coming to Japan,
and advised us "It seems freezing. You better bring your coat". It helped a lot.
He also monitored Japanese tv programs and shared some information with us.
G.O: During recording of "Baby U!", Mir checked our Japanese pronunciation too. Especially "Again" is 
slow ballad, so we paid attention to pronunciation. Mir was the most serious one as if it was his solo track lol.
Thanks to him, we made a great piece.
- Mir, please tell us about Joon!
Mir: Since MBLAQ is still newbie in Japan, we better get used to activities in Japan. So Joon researched
other Japanese groups made their debut at the same time as us. He told us about the fellow artists
on the train the other day.
- Such as?
Joon: It's...secret lol.
- What a pity! You really seem to have own roles.
Joon: Yes, we do. You'll be surprised even more after hearing what Seungho worked hard on.
Seungho studied what kind of mechanics and tools Japanese artists are using. He knows very well about it.
- Really?
Seungho: Most of them are using Pro Tools. I've just started to learn how to use it. And also Sonar is also popular.
I'm obsessed with mechanics so I looked around and checked which brand's tools they have in studio while recording.
- That's amazing. Now please introduce G.O's episode.
Seungho: G.O cared a lot about outfits. While we were shopping, he said "can we wear this on the stage?" and
kept looking for accessories or clothing which only can be purchased in Japan. He even called an apparel company for inquiry.
We can ask G.O anything about fashion.
G.O: The outfits for "Baby U!" are also full of my ideas.
- Lastly, please tell us a summary of 2011 and new year's resolution.
Seungho: In 2011, we made our effort and grew up well as a group. The good thing is, we did continue to work
both in Japan and Korea at the same time. We'll work harder and show you different charms in 2012.
Hopefully we will have an asia tour.


-Individual interview-

[Cheondung]

Cheondung is into composing songs lately. 
"I like creating songs by my sense in an hour and half.
I don't try too hard when nothing comes up. That's the key to create good songs."

In "Baby U!", he also wrote rap lyrics in Korean.
"I wrote it referring to my experience. I always feel if I confess someone my feeling, she would go away.
Once my feeling towards the girl I liked was leaked by my friend and she took distance from me.
So I'm an expert at one-sided love who doesn't have courage to tell her my feeling.
I can write tons of songs for that lol."

To widen the range of words for lyrics, he also listens to friends' experience.
"Even though I listen to many episodes from my friends, I don't fully understand till I experience myself.
I wonder if I would be a better song writer after having relationship. Someday I want to write a love song
based on my own experience."


[Joon]

Joon said "Our relationship with Japanese fans improved lately".
"Soon after we debuted, our communication was awkward but we learned a lot more Japanese words in past 6 months
and now feel much closer to them".

On the stage, Joon flashes his abs and attracts fans with his sexiness, but he is actually
so natural and kind to make people around him feel eased.
"I love space" he said with sparkling eyes and started to point out what is so good about it.
"I was interested in something uncertain like the seven wonders of the world or deep sea.
It lead me to become curious about space. We don't know what is there outside the solar system.
If you think in such a large field of view, the earth is only a tiny spot.
When I think of space, all my worries or thoughts seem to be tiny things which makes me feel at ease.
At the same time, it makes me realise the present is the most important. I'll focus on what I should do
and want to achieve my goals.


[G.O]

G.O started to write songs 1 year ago. While trying to make good environment for it, the other thing caught his interests...
"I was changing layout for the room to make it easier to compose songs, then I became interested in interior more and more.
Changing curtains or doing a little changeover are what I enjoy on holidays."

By composing in a comfortable room, G.O would be the one to lead MBLAQ in their own music.
"As long as I work as a musician, I always wanted to be able to compose myself. So I worked really hard last year.
I gained some knowledge and I came to deeply think of MBLAQ's originality more."

Do you see Cheondung as a rival for being able to compose songs?
"I don't see him that way. Cheondung is good at composing dance music and I like melodious pop music.
We work on different style, so if each of our skills improve more, it means MBLAQ gains more charms."


[Mir]

Mir reveals the feeling while resting due to his back injury.
"I suffered mentally more than physically. While I was taking break, MBLAQ kept promoting both in Japan and Korea,
but I couldn't join. I saw Seungho was doing rap part for me on the music program and felt deeply sorry
to members. "

He looks cheerful and and being dorky, but he is actually very sensitive inside. He was reading a book while
short break during shooting which was quite impressive.
"I read a book per week. What I'm reading now is "SCHNEEWITTCHEN MUSS STERBEN" written by a German writer Nele Neuhau.
I always show my dorky side on the show, so staffs are always surprised at me reading lol."

So he also wants to date a girl who loves reading?
"A girl who can draw. I think it's really beautiful to see someone drawing pictures.
I want her to draw portrait of me everyday."


[Seungho]

Fixing gadgets is very significant in many hobbies Seungho has. Of course he can handle connecting cables
which most of girls hate dealing with it.
"I receive many inquiries on twitter as if I'm a call center. I liked fixing mechanics since I was a kid.
I used to break everything into parts, and fix them back. Once my fan's car was broken in front of me
and I managed to fix it."

He looks so kind. But as being a charismatic leader of MBLAQ, he was taken as "scary" personality when they made
their debut.
"I said I have atmosphere not easy to talk to and didn't show me smiling. Even fans asked me "are you angry?" lol. But I turned into brighter personality these days. We got to meet many fans through our debut in Japan, so I think it helped a lot. I'm not scary, I'm nice a person". he said in Japanese
