The original beast-dols, 2PM, are gathering to deliver legendary laughs with their unfiltered wit and undying variety show instincts.
On the episode of SBS's "uh, but like, seriously!" airing tonight, July 6, at 10:10 PM, the group 2PM—now in their 18th year since debut—will appear to share behind-the-scenes stories and engage in a hilarious roast session.
The members revisit the era of Ok Taec-yeon’s legendary "Rip-Ok Taec-yeon" days, which once shook the K-pop scene. The members sent the studio into a fit of laughter by revealing, "Even on stages where there was no plan to take off his clothes, Ok Taec-yeon kept ripping them off, to the point where people around him had to stop him." There was even speculation that new broadcast censorship standards were established specifically because of Ok Taec-yeon’s provocative performances.
In response, Ok Taec-yeon drew laughter by confessing, "I also had my own secret struggles because of the 'Rip-Ok Taec-yeon' image, such as having sudden shirtless scenes added while filming dramas."
2PM also honestly opened up about the intense self-management and challenges of fan service they face as long-running idols in their 18th year. NICHKHUN revealed that he went on a grueling diet, eating only three boiled eggs a day throughout their Japan concert tour, after being shocked by comments that he had "gained weight." Upon hearing this, MC Lee Su-ji wittily retorted, "I actually like it better because you look closer to me now that you've gained weight," adding to the fun.
Ok Taec-yeon also shared a behind-the-scenes story from a video call fan signing event. He mentioned that while he was initially hesitant to show aegyo (cute behavior) due to shyness, he was jolted into action the moment a fan bluntly said, "Oppa, this is a paid service," leading him to immediately perform a storm of aegyo that left the studio in chaos.
Stories from the members' military service days were also shared without reservation. JUN. K recalled Ok Taec-yeon visiting him while he was a private, wearing his military uniform with a squad leader badge. JUN. K exposed the incident, saying, "Ok Taec-yeon appeared at the base in a convertible, even receiving salutes from the soldiers at the guard post," adding that everyone mistook him for an officer. Ok Taec-yeon appealed his innocence, explaining, "I just went straight there because I didn't have time to stop by home," which only added to the amusement.
The highlight of the day was Ok Taec-yeon’s bombshell statement regarding the members' marriages. When asked which of the currently single members—NICHKHUN, JUN. K, WOOYOUNG, or JUNHO—would get married last, Ok Taec-yeon firmly replied, "I don't think any of them will get married," shocking the members.
The spicy talk from the original variety-dols, 2PM, will be revealed on uh, but like, seriously! airing tonight, July 6, at 10:10 PM.
