Beast-dol 2PM Shows Off Variety Skills on 'A Geun Jin', Says "Grateful for Fans' Love, We'll Do Anything They Want"

2PM showcased their exceptional variety show skills.

On the episode of SBS's 'A Geun Jin' (short for 'Actually, But Seriously') that aired on July 6, 2PM visited Suji's boarding house.

During the broadcast, Boom remarked that it felt awkward to see 2PM dressed in casual, natural outfits. He said, "It feels strange because they are always so flashy and full of energy," and Lee Su-ji chimed in, "I feel like there should be a ripped shirt under that denim shirt."

Regarding 2PM, who debuted with the song '10 Out of 10' featuring acrobatic choreography and bold lyrics, 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 speculated on producer Park Jin-young's intentions, saying, "I think he wanted to create a style that didn't exist at the time. He probably wanted to add 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 dared to say they wanted to quit, adding, "We got injured a lot. We understood it because we were a dance group, but 2AM also practiced acrobatics. If they couldn't do it, they couldn't debut," which surprised everyone. Tak Jae-hoon then asked, "Then which group is more pitiful?" and 2PM drew laughter by pointing out, "2AM is more pitiful. Why on earth would they practice something they didn't even have to do?"

Jun. K, who was named the 'management king' of the day, spoke about the background of his extraordinary self-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 those feelings, I thought I should manage myself well as an idol." His words drew admiration.

Ok Taec-yeon also showed his love for fans. Ok, who said he used to feel awkward and shy about showing affection to fans, noted, "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. My mindset is that if the fans want it, I should do it for them," drawing attention.

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 would come 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 commander had arrived, so they saluted him." This story brought everyone to 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 subordinates, I just returned the salutes when the sentries at the gate saluted me." Jun. K added, "At the time, soldiers in our unit even asked me if Taec-yeon was quitting being a celebrity to become a career soldier," revealing the misunderstanding that occurred unintentionally.

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. Ok Taec-yeon then said, "I don't think they can get married." Jun. K replied, "We will eventually. Why wouldn't we be able to?" and Ok Taec-yeon drew attention by shouting "Fighting!" with a mischievous smile.

Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, 2PM, who have a full-group concert coming up in Korea in August, performed a random play dance, drawing enthusiastic applause.
