2PM showcased their undeniable variety show skills.

On the episode of SBS's "uh, but like, seriously!" aired on the 6th, 2PM visited Suzy's boarding house.

During the broadcast, Boom commented that it felt awkward to see 2PM dressed in casual, everyday clothes. He remarked, "They are always so flashy and full of energy, so this feels strange," and Lee Su-ji chimed in, "I feel like there should be a ripped shirt under those denim jackets."

Regarding 2PM, who debuted with "10 Out of 10" featuring unconventional lyrics and acrobatic choreography, the panelists commented, "Everyone is in such great shape. It’s amazing that you’ve been doing acrobatics since your debut." When asked why they started doing acrobatics, the members guessed the intention of producer Park Jin-young, saying, "I think we wanted to create a style that didn't exist at the time. We wanted to provide a different point of interest rather than just being an idol group that only dances."

They mentioned that despite the grueling nature of the acrobatics, no one could bring themselves to say they wanted to quit. "We got hurt a lot. We understood it because we were a dance group, but 2AM also practiced acrobatics. If you couldn't do it, you couldn't debut," they said, surprising everyone. Tak Jae-hoon then asked, "So, which group is more pitiful?" to which 2PM pointed out, "2AM is more pitiful. Why on earth would they practice something they didn't even need to do?" causing laughter.

Jun. K, who was named the king of self-management that day, explained the background behind his exceptional discipline: "I did one meal a day for three years. One day, I started thinking about why our fans love us, and as I gained realizations about that heart, I thought I should manage myself well as an idol," drawing admiration.

Ok Taec-yeon also showed his deep love for fans. Admitting that he used to feel awkward and shy about showing affection to fans, he revealed, "During video call fan signing events, I honestly couldn't do various requests properly because I was embarrassed. But one fan told me, 'Oppa, this is a paid service,' and that gave me a huge realization. Since then, I've been doing it without any trouble. I have the mindset that if the fans want it, I should do it for them," which caught everyone's attention.

On this day, Jun. K also shared an episode involving Ok Taec-yeon, who is often called the real-life Captain Korea. He said, "When I was a private, Taec-yeon was a corporal and a squad leader. He said he was coming to visit me. I was so happy and waiting for him, but instead of coming in casual clothes, Taec-yeon arrived driving in his military uniform with his squad leader insignia on. Seeing that, my fellow soldiers thought a high-ranking officer had arrived, so they saluted him." This story sent everyone into a fit of laughter.

Ok Taec-yeon explained that he had no choice due to his busy schedule, saying, "I was the most senior in our company. Since it was natural for me to receive salutes from my juniors, I just accepted the salutes from the sentries at the guardhouse." Jun. K added, "At the time, the soldiers in our unit even asked if Taec-yeon was quitting his celebrity career to become a career soldier," revealing the unintended misunderstanding that occurred.

The panelists then asked the unmarried members, excluding Ok Taec-yeon and Hwang Chan-sung, if they were dating and if they had any thoughts on marriage. They also asked who among the unmarried members would be the last to get married.

The members hesitated for a long time. Then Ok Taec-yeon said, "I don't think they can get married." When Jun. K replied, "We will eventually. Why wouldn't we be able to?" Ok Taec-yeon shouted "Fighting!" with a mischievous smile, drawing attention.

Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, 2PM, who are preparing for a full-group concert in Korea this August, performed a random play dance, drawing enthusiastic applause.
