JYP Entertainment apologizes for 2PM member Nichkhun’s recent accident


JYP Entertainment just released this statement to allkpop, in regards to 2PM member Nichkhun‘s recent car accident.

“This is JYP Entertainment. Around 2:30AM this morning, Nichkhun who is an artist under our agency had attended a dinner with the entire JYP family present, following a rehearsal for a JYP performance. After having about two glasses of beer, Nichkhun was driving back to his dorm which is located on the same block as the location the dinner took place. On the way, Nichkhun was involved in an accident with a motorcycle at an intersection in the neighborhood.”

They continued, “His blood alcohol level was measured at 0.056%, and his license has been suspended. Nichkhun himself and our company are well aware that we were careless, and for this we would like to apologize. Furthermore, we will earnestly oblige to any follow-up investigations that may be necessary. Once again, we would like to sincerely apologize.”

JYPE responds to Nichkhun’s controversial Thai CF


Some controversy has sparked up around a CF that 2PM‘s Nichkhun filmed for a Thai beverage company, the CF has received some negative remarks online.

The controversy in the advertisement is during a segment where Nichkhun appears to be dancing in front of a ‘Rising Sun’ Imperial Japanese war flag.

The ‘Rising Sun’ flag is the military war flag of Japan, and was “heavily used during the colonization of East Asia in the first-half of the 20th century, it is seen offensive to countries that were under control of Japan at that time, especially because of the war crimes that were committed.“ The ‘Rising Sun’ flag is one that is considered extremely taboo in both China & Korea.

As a Hallyu star representing Korea, the image of Nichkhun dancing in front of what looked like a Rising Sun flag came across as inappropriate and offensive to some viewers.

But this wasn’t intentional as the concept for the video was completely different. The concept wanted to show that Nichkhun was a proud Thai individual that performed on stages all over Asia including Japan. Ahead of this controversial scene, Nichkhun dances in front of the ancient palace in Seoul.

Nichkhun’s representatives explained that when they decided to cast Nichkhun for the CF they did not see any problems in the script. At the time the CF was filmed, the background where the flag was used was actually white and the flag graphics were later added in by the production crew in post production.

During a phone conversation with TVDaily on February 21st, 2PM’s agency JYP Entertainment stated, “The problematic Thai health drink CF was one Nichkhun filmed with some of the local celebrities in Thailand and at the timing of the filming, there were no Rising Sun flags on set.”

They continued, “The video was shot on an open stage, and the staff members were discussing what kind of graphics to add, and the LED was included later along with the Rising Sun flag. We did not follow up with the production of this video until it was finished. We were careless, and we apologize.”

Freaky Fan Messages to Nichkhun Prompt JYPE to Issue Warning


The advent of social networking sites like Twitter has made it easier for stars and idols not only to more quickly and effectively reach their audiences, but more importantly to forge closer ties to their fans. However, with celebrities in seemingly easy reach, has Twitter also become a channel for harassment?

JYP Entertainment, through its official Twitter account (@JYPEOfficial) has issued a warning to a Twitter user Whit (@whit_toria) for inappropriate tweets to 2PM’s Nichkhun. JYP Entertainment has threatened to bring the matter to litigation if Whit does not immediately stop tweeting messages to Nichkhun.



Whit appears to be fan of the Khuntoria couple from “We Got Married,” made up of Nichkhun and f(x)’s Victoria. What prompted JYP’s warning was a series of repeated tweets to Nichkhun saying, “You can’t escape Khuntoria forever,” “You are Victoria’s husband. You are in Khuntoria. This is forever and eternal,” and “Khuntoria will last even after you die.”







JYP’s warning prompted an uncooperative stance from Whit. Thus far, there are no further developments on the matter.

2PM tweets New Year’s greetings + pokes fun at their performance on ‘MBC Gayo Daejaejun’


Although 2PM put on a spectacular performance last night at the ’2011 MBC Gayo Daejaejun’, fans had a hard time seeing them due to the giant balls that somehow made their way onto the stage.

The balls were used as props for the “Hands Up” performance, but instead of traveling around the stadium, the balls were all passed to the front and right into the middle of the stage, covering 2PM’s performance from view.

Because the balls had all migrated to the center of the stage much faster than anyone had expected, the staff had to go on stage to kick the balls out of the way in the midst of the group’s performance.
After the end of the show, 2PM left New Year’s greetings on their Twitter and wittily incorporated the word “gohng” (the word for “ball”, with other meanings such as “zero”, “distinction”, “labor” in Korean) in into their messages as much as possible, as if to joke about the mishap during their performance.

Nickhun tweeted, “Everyone!!!! Hope you receive much distinction ["GOHNG"] in the New Year!!!!!!!! Be successful in the year of Two Zero ["GOHNG"] One Two!!!!♥”

Junho wrote, “Happy New Year ^^! You are the main character ["joo-in-GOHNG"]!! We put in much labor ["GOHNG"] into our performance ["GOHNG-yeon"] today ^^… 2012 Fighting!! Thank you to the staff for working so hard for the year-end!!”

Chansung also followed, “Everyone, it’s now a new year!! When I reflect on 2011 which has passed in the blink of an eye, I think a lot about the person I had been. ^^… You are the main character ["joo-in-GOHNG"] of 2012 ^^ You all saw our stage that we put in much labor["GOHNG"] into today, right?? Happy New Year ^^~~”

Taecyeon chimed in, “Everyone~ did you enjoy classic “Hands Up” and “Back To You”? A surprise even the main characters ["joo-in-GOHNG"] were surprised by!!… It is now 2 zero ["GOHNG"] 12!! Since our performance which we have put in so much labor ["GOHNG"] has ended, for all those people who worked hard today, Happy New Year~”

2PM’s Nichkhun to make his Japanese movie debut in ‘Ouran High School Host Club’



via tokyohive:

On November 13th, Korean group 2PM’s Nichkhun (23) announced that he will make his Japanese movie debut in the upcoming movie version of popular drama, ‘Ouran High School Host Club‘.

This movie is based on a manga of the same name.  It is a romantic comedy centered around a popular host club at ‘Ouran High School’, where the female student Haruhi (Kawaguchi Haruna) has to disguise herself as a male host to repay a huge debt.  Nichkhun will play the older brother of Michelle, an international student played by AKB48’s Shinoda Mariko (25).



Nichkhun will play the president of Singapore’s leading corporation and will be featured in a business suit – giving off a sleeker, more polished look from his usual image.  He is also the first 2PM member to be participating in a Japanese film.

He will have to speak in both Japanese and English in this theatrical adaptation.  While explaining the role the producer stated, “Nichkhun demonstrates a proficient English level as he has studied it in the U.S.  He has a flavor of bashfulness and confidence which is perfect for this role.”   The producer also discussed his high expectations of Nichkhun.

Nichkhun revealed he had the support and help of his fellow members to make progress with his Japanese skills.  He also mentioned that he, “would love to appear in a Japanese film again”.

Unfortunately, fans will have to wait until March 17th, 2012 to see him in this much-anticipated film.
