Q01) In 2PM, what type of character do you carry?
First of all I’m responsible as the main vocal. And I’m also a mood-maker in order to liven up the atmosphere for everybody! I am from Daegu at the south side of Korea, using Daegu satoori I’m be able to make (members) laugh. It is similar with Kansai dialect.

Q02) What do you want Japanese fans to call you (as a nickname)?
Call me panda! Because I have drooping eyes, we look alike right? Since a long time ago my friends call me by my English name, Jun. For reference panda is also pronounced as panda in Korean.

Q09) If you have a vacation, what do you want to do?
If I only have a day, I want to enjoy and drink my Americano that I like while sitting down relaxed. Or spend time with my friends. If I have about 1 week…. I want to go to Switzerland! When I was younger, I saw a very beautiful picture of Switzerland. I guess that feeling flowed to my heart. I love places with a lot of nature.

Q13) The word that is currently popular among young people in Korea?

Q14) The thing that you want the most currently?
Superpowers. For an example, when I am driving and there’s a beautiful woman, being able to stop the time and turn it back, I can see her face again! Just kidding. You know when there’s a lot of things I want to do, being able to stop the time will make me able to do all of it?

Q16) (Advice) Although Hip hop dance is really nice, what should be done in order to be able to dance as good as 2PM?
When I entered the company in 2004, I seriously couldn’t dance at all. I received lessons for it for 3 months, and it was hard to the point that I would at least have a runny nose and cry once (laughs). Take notes by illustrative memo, anyway I think the best way is to practice constantly and continuously!

I want to walk together while holding hands. And, since I’m the type that keeps up with anniversaries etc, I will do a surprise event! Lighting candles on the floor during Christmas, I will turn on a sing along with preparing a cake and a very big stuffed panda. And I want to surprise her by saying “Merry Christmas!!!”

Although individuality is good too, to be honest my type is a woman that puts on a simple t-shirt and a pair of jeans and suits it well. And I like a woman that wears a nicely fit clothes instead of loose type of clothes.

Q24) Your skin complexion is nice!!! What type of method you are managing it with?
Heuk? Me? Eum~ I don’t do anything except washing my face and I don’t put on any skin lotion. If I use them, I think some issues can occur, so I use cold water and wash my face in the morning and evening.

Q26) What type of high school student were you?
While in class, I secretly eat crackers or something, or chatter with friends by whispering, or secretly take a picture of a friend’s face while they are sleeping…. because of those things I always get scolded by my teacher (laughs). But because I was curious about many things, I was the type to try it out.
Although I was late a few times, I’m proud of the fact that I was never absent.

Q27) Did you do any extra curricular?
When I was a high school student, after the class ended I went home right away to compose songs, because of that I didn’t get to do any extra curricular. When I was a primary school student, because I was interested in machinery, I was affiliated with broadcasting.

Q28) Since when did you start composing songs?
Since I was a first year student in high school. Although I went to a regular high school, I wanted to compose no matter what, so I went to a vocational school. The first song that I wrote, “Sunshine,” I gave to Kan MiYoun-ssi (Korean female singer) as a gift. We sang it together as a duet.
