Someone on Twitter said: JYP can’t relate... Taecyeon... who is in 2pm but is not my boo but I do ship with my boo, its a long story, had to ask the fans to help 2pm deal with a STALKER/sasaeng anti or weirdo chick... he had to create an instagram page (which he was probably gonna do anyway) all because this person has been making fake accounts and hacking his... but JYP did nothing while they did put out a statement for Got7 or Day6 BUT did nothing for the money makers, 2pm (Yes check that data, their Japanese merch and tours kill in sells and they bring the money even while on hiatus) so HOTTESTS got stupid upset... here we have 51K which Taec has been apart of for about a year now releasing a statement... NOW I don’t usually get mad at JYP (this should be a blog) because they have been good about this in the past (like when Jun. K’s dad passed) but this time (I guess cause Taec was complaining who is not with JYP) they did nothing... I can’t .... and honestly 51K took their time getting this done too. Taec has been complaining for like 2 weeks now if not longer. (Throws hands to the sky, then flips a desk) I just hope my boys are safe and not dealing BS... Taec’s Military is over and he has been cast in a new KDrama, my bias Jun. K has like 6months left in the Army, I think Woobaby has like 8 months or so, Junho and Channie only have about a month into their duty... At least Khunnie is in a drama right now.... Hottests have to wait SOOOOOOOO LONG!!!! #hottestsalwaysnextto2pm
...and I can't wait for the main course, which won't be here until November 27 at 6pm KST. Let me take you back.....
We knew that Mr. No Love would be releasing something again. It was in August 2016 he released his Korean solo debut, Mr. No Love featuring the hit single "Think About You." 2pm had a comeback the following month and at the end of 2016 he released his third Japanese album, "No Shadow." Then fans got word that in January 2017 he would hold two concerts during his birthday weekend. We all knew what would be going down.... We (the fans) figure he would be entering the military soon for his mandatory service. 2pm announced that hey would hold final concerts, before member enlistments. It was during this time Jun. K was injured after falling from stage equipment, fracturing his right elbow and right ring finger. 2pm ended up rescheduling the concerts in June and omg it was so emotional on the last night of the six concerts.
Ok so typically you don't write articles like with the info from the past but you discuss the updates first, but this is my blog and I don't have to be journalistically correct. Plus I needed you to understand how we have come to where we are now....
Sometime in the middle of November Jun. K announced he would be releasing his 2nd Korean album on November 27th. A full schedule of events was posted as well leading up to the release. As a fan it has been a glorious week. I seem to be waking up to Jun.K news every morning. This was some really awesome public relations. I don't feel like he had the same type of promotions for Mr. No Love.
Each day fans got a glimpse, a tease of song titles and lyrics. Jun. K is a phenomenal songwriter so the lyrics revealed just draw the fans in further. Fans already know Jun. K's levels of experience, work ethic and skills of perfection, so our expectations are high but excited.
"Let me tell the truth, from today on, those guys are all my girl's fans."
"Don't worry about getting a cold until the winter is over."
"Mister, hang on, can you rest for five minutes before moving this? I'm worried that I might have left something behind over there in the bedroom."
"I don't know anymore, either. I'm probably just one of those people."
"The weight of the world that I have to make by myself. I don't drag it. I go holding the weight".
JYP released "November to February" featuring Somi.
And FINALLY.... The ALBUM SPOILER....
Now we wait for the video teaser due to be released on November 26th and finally the full album and full video release on Monday the 27th.
As a fan these words can't even express the way that I feel about the release of this music. Its bittersweet, which is exactly what Jun. K is trying to convey in this album. Moving into your 30s after your 20s is bittersweet on one hand you have lived as in adult but youthfully and now you are moving into a new level of maturity still youthful, but there are new expectations put on you. I should know because I am 33 years old. I know all too well what it is like to move into your 30s. And for Minjun or should I say Jun. K there is a sense of the unknown as he has to leave what he loves... Music for a little while and fulfill his mandatory enlistment, for TWO YEARS!!! I am sure he will find time to do music, but this is a very questionable time for Korean Idols as you never know if you will get out and be received or be considered old news. I am just glad that his promotions for this new concept has been going so well and I hope that he is well received from the Korean people as he must move into enlistment and I much watch..... I am dying.... slowly!!! 😢 At least we get one last present. LOVE YOU JUN. K !!!
So on the heels of Jun. K's Korean Solo Debut, 2pm with be out with music this month. I am excited even though I am still buzzing from Jun. K's hotness!!!!

Go ahead and enjoy the spoiler... for the sixth album Gentlemen's Game
Galaxy of 2pm (2pm's Latest Japanese album and possible last before their military service) was released on April 27, 2016. With that album pumping, 2pm's Jun. K's Love Letter (Japanese mini album) from December of 2015 along with a track called 50/50 by 2pm members TaecYeon and Jun. K, I was good to go. I actually have all of 2pm's music and even though my bias is Jun. K, I was waiting to hear more about 2pm's JunHo, who was releasing a Japanese mini album after the Galaxy of 2pm tour. I also started watching, "TaecYeon's Kdrama, "Let's Fight Ghost". I HAD NO IDEA of what JUN. K was up to....
Jun. K in Allure Korea
I noticed he was working out, with pics of him on instagram posted showing him in the gym and with some trainers. I was like oh great my sweet Jun. K is becoming a muscle head drinking protein shakes. Then there was a post of him in Allure Korea Mag. And I saw skin showing....which was different for my Jun. K. ALL of us who have Jun. K as our bias know that he NEVER shows skin. LIKE NEVER!! The last time we saw Jun. K's skin was like 2010 for the Caribbean Bay Ad.
For those that don't know he is the one in the long blue and white diamond shorts. They are promoting a water park so they had to be very goofy. (LOL) WAIT there was the time in 2013 with their Korean Album "Grown" which he looks somewhat crazy and not necessarily sexy.
I mean we see that he is muscular but unlike his bandmates, he is not looking sultry, but more manic.
ANYWAY I have digressed because the point is to discuss current Jun. K. I was so consumed with teaching summer school and all the trips I must take this summer that I had not really read the articles about my Junnie I just saw the pictures and thanked the Lord for producing such as man. Next thing you know BOOM he is on the cover of Mens Fitness Korea. And I am just like wow, of all the members I NEVER expected Jun. K on the cover of Men's Fitness, not because he isn't sexy or healthy but because he has always been so MODEST, if anything I thought Jun Ho would be next. NOPE Jun. K...
God is good and all the time God is good.
#Yasssssssssssssss
I was still clueless about what was next. JYP (2pm's label) was discussing a JYP nation tour (that's when all the groups on the label do a big show) So on July 28th Junnie posted a schedule of upcoming events and I was like...
Basically he would be releasing his first Solo album in Korea (his previous mini albums were Japanese) Then on August 2nd JYP releases:
An I was like:
(Well really they released a remake of a Jun. K song called 가지마 (Don't Go) featuring Baek A Yeon, a female artist from JYP. I actually thought that was for her promotions.)
And just when I thought I had recovered JYP teased me (us) with this:
And I was like:
OMG look at BAE!!!!!!!! #YASSSSSSSSSSSSSS Jun. K out here slaying, and snatching edges like Beyonce. Most of us concluded that his hair was a little different but we let him have the weird hair because he was showing us so much more. Even his bandmate Jun Ho was like and I am paraphrasing: "I lived with bruh for 6 years and never saw him shirtless." Yes Jun. K had wtf'd us all. Jun. K had female and male fans like this:
Even bandmate Nichkhun was like... "seeing him perform made me want to cry." (They are fanboys of each other, so supportive.) Anyway the album was basically release digitally. I know you can buy "Think About You" on iTunes, and there are apps available if you speak/read hangul (korean) and if you have won ₩ (korean money) that have his music available. I had to do it the old fashioned way...first I pre-ordered the CD. I don't want there to be any confusion about that... I PRE-ORDERED the cd. Actually CDs won't be released until August 12th, so it probably won't arrive to my doorstep until August something.... (If I can figure it out I am going to buy a copy in LA this weekend) but in the meantime I did a little conversion and have been listening to the album since Monday.... it is great of course his voice is just as another fangirl said: Buttery....
I wish I could edit this so instead of toast he would say Jun.K like "Do you want some Jun. K, its buttery." LMAO!!!
If you don't love Jun. K I suggest you start loving him. If you already love him then *highfive* I feel like Jun. K is the most underrated Kpop star out there.... so I will leave with the full length of the two videos he has released thus far... If I am not consumed in my teaching life I will do a unveiling of the cd for all my Jun. K lovers out there! The album is call Mr. No Love.
[+ 95, – 7] JYP this year was amazing. If only it weren’t for that MV director 2 PM would have been more active as well. Let’s keep this going JYP !!!
UGH! The My House fiasco of the summer. When the director pulled out of directing the video it set the boys back a bit. Check out this article from Koreaboo
Chincha? You cancelled to do BigBang's video.... aren't 2pm and Big Bang like rivals. So this was very frustrating for a 2pm fan. (And I am a 2pm fan) ESPECIALLY now since the reason for their lack was all because of this Director. BUT let me be the bigger person and think about it like this... if the song was HOT then wouldn't it have blown up regardless.... well here is another article on the issue...
Most netizens explain that it was a great song, but it was just unfortunate that they could only do a week of promotions and then off to Japan.
Personally as a rather new fan of 2pm I have had to go back and learn about them and listen to old songs and I enjoy MOST of their music. I was excited about my house because to be honest I am not big on the Japanese albums and after Go Crazy was 2pm of 2pm and it was... ok...it took me a little while to get into the album mainly because Japanese lyrics are so different from Korean lyrics. I am sorry I just enjoy the Korean language (maybe cause I understand it a tad better as I am slowly learning it) So I was excited about My House and the No. 5 album. Please watch the video real quick.
I loved the theme of this video and I learn more Korean listening to these guys, because they make their songs in a way that you can really hear all the words. Of all the kpop stars that I have listened to, 2pm has been the easiest from me to actually learn lyrics and sing along with them... I could totally go to a Korean karaoke spot and sing this song. Jun. K wrote this song and produced it as he also wrote and produced Go Crazy 2pm awesome single from 2014. I guess I am biased. I listen to Go Crazy until I hated it. I have left Go Crazy alone. I chose 2pm's first album 1:59pm before Go Crazy because I killed Go Crazy. The album No. 5 was a breath of fresh air. Go Crazy was a party album. In my interpretation Go Crazy was the album that played at the party and got you dancing just TURN UP! No. 5 is what you put on once you got home after the party, when you are trying to get the chick/guy you brought home to condone is some after party activity. Seriously. Please check out the live footage from their song Good Man which is from the No. 5 album.
It's starts slow but next thing you know at about the 2 minute mark there is a girl in a bed and so forth and so on.... No. 5 was a very sexy album and a little bit more relaxed aside from the songs, Magic and Jump.
Part of me wants to think that the so called lack of success has more to do with the whole only one week of promotions BUT I think its just a difference in Korean taste in music. This was a beautiful R&B album that HOTTEST (2pm fans) probably loved. The Korean public I am not sure, I guess if they had of been able to do constant promotion on tv and everywhere in Korea then things would have been different so this is one of the albums that Fans KNOW it is a masterpiece and others just don't get....
In the meantime which HOTTEST wants to hunt that director down? I better stop because I am joking but I know there are some sasaeng fans out there who are ready to go!! SMH!!!
PS: Here is a funny quote: "[+41, -53]Honestly, 2PM’s been on the decline since Jay Park left"
Chincha? can we just let Jay Park go? He has his own thing going on....
