Dating rumors are swirling once again around 2PM‘s Taecyeon and SNSD‘s Jessica after they were spotted having lunch at a cafe near Dosan Park in Apgujung.
These rumors first surfaced back in October 2010, after SHINee‘sJonghyun and actress Shin Se Kyungconfirmed they were dating. Both SM Entertainment and JYP Entertainment quickly denied the rumors that Jessica and Taecyeon were in a relationship.
In July, Taecyeon dodged questions about how he knew Jessica’s phone number; one month later, the two were seen together in Japan. Each time the media brought up relationship speculations, the two denied that they were anything more than just close friends. With this recent spotting, however, netizens are starting to wonder if that’s still the case.
On October 4th, Taecyeon and Jessica were seen having brunch at a cafe for an hour. Though the establishment was full of people, they seemed to not care about the attention they were drawing, opting instead to focus on their conversation.
After their 1-hour brunch, the two left the cafe. In the process, Taecyeon paid the bill and opened the door for Jessica as they were leaving. Then Jessica gave Taecyeon, who doesn’t have a car of his own, a ride to his dorm.
Jessica is currently busy preparing for SNSD’s comeback album (to be released on October 19th), while Taecyeon is in the midst of filming his Japanese drama, “Boku to Star no 99 Nichi“. Their agencies stated, “SNSD and 2PM are very close and they often meet. It seems the two have had a meal together when both their schedules were free.”

2PM donated 130 million won for repairing the flood damage in Thailand Monday, October 24 2011 Written by Cassina
An official from the Red Cross reported that "On the 20th 2PM and JYPE Entertainment donated 130 million won to the Thailand flood damage recovery fund".
Since the end of July Thailand has suffered flood damage to 70% of the country and 342 people have died during some of the worst flooding to have occurred. Since 2PM's debut they have experienced a lot of popularity in member Nichkhun's homeland, Thailand. Because of this Thailand is considered a special country to 2PM. But after seeing the pain of Thailand's people caused by the unprecedented flood damage the members decided to donate their own money.
The warm hearts of JYP Entertainment decided to provide support, and so generously donated 130 million won to the flood damage fund. Last March they also warmly donated 300 million won to the earthquake damage fund in Japan.
2PM and JYP Entertaiment donate 100 million won to the flood damage fund
2PM come forth for Thailand that's suffering from the worst flooding in 50 years.
During 3 months of worsening damage and casualties due to flooding in Thailand 2PM and JYP Entertainment donated 130 million won through the Korean Red Cross.
JYP Entertainment said on the 24th "Nichkhun's homeland Thailand is one of the closest countries to 2PM. After learning of the terrible news the members sent their own support fund".
The 2PM members are dedicated to helping with the flood damage in Thailand. As well as being where Nichkhun's family home is, Thailand is also a special country to the members.
Meanwhile 2PM is in the middle of their Asia Tour. Concerts will be held in Indonesia on November 11th, Singapore on November 19th, Malaysia on November 25th, Philippines on November 27th and Beijing, and then a national tour in Japan in December.
Idol group 2PM is stirring the hearts of ladies all across Asia! With members Taecyeon and Chansung recently being cast in Japanese dramas and their current Asia tour, the boys are receiving explosive reactions from fans throughout the continent. Their Taiwan show that took place on the 7th and 8th gathered over 10,000 fans, and tickets to their next performance in Indonesia sold out 15 minutes after going on sale.
The 10,000 fans that were at their ‘2PM Hands Up Tour Concert‘ screamed the name, 2PM at the top of their lungs, and the foreign fans sang along with each of the Korean songs. Many fans even shed tears at the sight of their favorite K-pop idol group. Their Indonesia show is scheduled to take place next month at the largest venue in Jakarta, Indonesia. Additionally, 2PM’s agency JYP Entertainment stated that Singapore and Malaysia as well as Indonesia are highly anticipating the boys’ arrival.
‘Phantom Thief Royale’ tells the story of 4 young people whose missions are to steal high-prized possessions, and the things that happen along the way. Chansung plays the role of athletic and physically fit Jack.
The Japanese media wrote, “Chansung has numerous belts in Tae Kwon Do as well as Gumdo, and therefore possess the required skills to pull off a believable action scene. He has wowed the staff with his high kicks on set.”
And producer Kawasima Utaro also praised Chasung saying, “Chansung is dedicated to work hard and give this his all, even though there may be a bit of a language barrier.”
2PM has climbed to the top of the Oricon charts with their single released last May, and seized the #1 slot with on the Oricon DVD Chart last year. 2PM’s debut DVD sold 35,000 copies in the first ten days after it was released, and their showcase which was originally scheduled for a single day was extended to a full three.
Their showcase ‘1st contact in Japan‘ that took place in Tokyo gathered an impressive number of 25,000, setting a new record for a Korean artist in Japan, beating SNSD‘s record of 22,000.
2PM will kick off their Japan tour next month with the release of their single, “Ultra Lover“. They will be performing for their many anticipating fans at different cities, including Osaka, Nagoya, Saitama, & Hukuoka.
Fans overseas agree that powerful dance moves are what mostly attracts them to K-pop idols. Intense and powerful choreography that is rarely seen with artists of their own country.
The boys of 2PM also puts on phenomenal dance performances, utilizing the entire stage, dancing and jumping freely, even spinning in the air.
Their performance for “Heartbeat” probably best represents 2PM. The members express their charisma dressed in all black and don dark stage makeup to intensify their looks. And no matter how fast the dance, the boys move in sync altogether. A representative from Japan’s Shibuya Records remarked, “Japanese fans go wild over 2PM and K-pop in general because they’ve never seen dance performances like the ones K-pop idols put on.”
The boys of 2PM are show stoppers wherever they go. They were recently on a TV program run by FujiTV. They performed their classic, “Heartbeat”, and the four women MCs watching did not know what to do with themselves as Taecyeon and Nichkhun suddenly shed their tops. And in the past, female interviewers who sat down with Chansung were at a loss for words when the singer revealed his six pack abs to the ladies.
Sure, the boys ooze masculinity and sex appeal, but that’s not to say that the boys are not chivalrous. The boys are also known for their soft, and well-mannered image along with their passion and skill for music. All of the members, including lead vocalist Junsu possess a high talent for singing. Fans in Japan remark, “Its hard not to be in love with 2PM. After all, they possess that intense masculinity with the sweet, sensuous appeal like actors Bae Yong Jun & Song Seung Hun.”
The video highlights all of Korea’ beautiful landmarks, history, and culture, and the Korean Tourism Organization stated, “2PM is wildly popular in Japan, China, Thailand, etc, and therefore serve as effective spokespersons to tell the world about Korea.”
