[Translations] WPK Interview, Summer 2011

Journalist: So does that mean that the song has something in common with all the songs that have been previously released in Korea?

Nichkhun: Eventually it became a very attractive dance song!

Journalist: Can you show it a little bit here? That dance…
Oh, I haven’t seen a dance like this before!! It really seems like it’s going to be a hit, just like Wooyoung says.

Nichkhun: But it’s very hard to practice this dance. We’ve tried really hard to make it look like it does not require strength at all, and that it’s a very free dance…

Journalist: I want to see it live as soon as possible. Although I would also like to talk about your previous activities. You had a Zepp your, haven’t you. Before that, you’ve also had a showcase… That’s a great deal. Not everyone is able to do a Zepp tour, even among the Japanese artists. It’s hard if you are not a famous singer. What’s your main goal in Japan in the future? What would you like to do?

Nichkhun: I also want to have a concert on a slightly bigger stage. For example in Nippon Budokan or Tokyo Dome.
Everyone: That’s right but… we must work hard for it.
Nichkhun: We’ll keep on working hard, because we really want to do it!

Journalist: Then the last two questions! What is 2PM to you? And what is music to you?

Nichkhun: I think 2PM is the best chance I’ve received so far. I can’t even image what I would be doing now if I weren’t a member of 2PM.
Chansung: A cook perhaps?
Everyone: *laughs*
Nichkhun: Either way, that’s why I think it’s a great chance I’ve received. And music is a kind of bridge. A bridge which connects different people and different countries…

Everyone: A bridge which connects heart to heart. Peace!

Why is 2PM’s Nichkhun So Successful?

Why is 2PM’s Nichkhun So Successful?

2PM’s Nichkhun is one of the most successful foreign celebrities in Korea.JYP Entertainment’s (JYPE) founder, Park  Jin Young, described Nichkhun as “a natural born celebrity.”  Discovered in Los Angeles, he crossed over to Korea to begin his training in 2009. After three years of intense training, Nichkhun debuted as 2PM. DongA Ilbo wrote an interesting article “analyzing” the reasons behind Nichkhun’s success through his various physical appearances.

Nichkhun stands tall at 180cm, the ideal height for male entertainers. His tall height and long legs (his leg measures 110cm!) are highly marketable traits in various acting and modeling fields. Additionally, his “beastly,” aka manly, image is delicately balanced with his pretty boy face.  His killer smile, perfect complexion, and to-die for hair drive his fangirls absolutely wild!  

Out of his physical traits, his big, round, hazelnut eyes received the most points for the reason behind Nichkhun’s success. Not only is the shape of his eyes prettsy, but they also have that gentle twinkle that melt millions of fangirls’ hearts. Nichkhun exposed his well-toned body through various CFs this summer, and his fit body is also garnering a lot of attention. While he’s busy promoting “Hands Up” with his 2PM members and shooting reality programs like “We Got Married,” he manages to allocate two hours a day to work out consistently. 

His “international” upbringing is also a plus. Born in Rancho Cucamonga, California, USA, to Thai Chinese parents, Nichkhun is fluent in English, Thai, Chinese, and Korean. His quad-lingual ability is a special attribute that allows his to grow beyond Korea and be at the forefront of the Hallyu Wave.   

A representative of JYPE expressed, “Despite his cute face, Nichkhun has a hot, passionate heart.” He’s highly competitive and hates half-hearted attitude.  Nickhun enjoys   being active and hanging out with friends. He’s enthusiastic and optimistic attitude allowed him to adapt to life in Korean relatively faster than other foreign trainees. While he looks like a kid with his adorably cute baby face, he’s in fact very mature for his age.  In fact, his fellow 2PM members nicknamed him grandfather.
