Boy group ZE:A‘s member Taehun will be the first idol ever to debut as a mixed martial arts fighter.

Taehun will be participating in the upcoming MMA game called “Revolution 2 – Start of a Revolution” which will be held on August 15 at the Seoul Olympic Park’s Handball Arena.

He is the first currently-active idol to try his hand at mixed martial arts. Fans of ZE:A and MMA alike are curious to see how he will do as an MMA fighter.

In the official announcement, Taehun said, “It was my dream to stand in the ring. I am so happy to finally have my dream come true and I’m practicing hard with excitement. I am going to try my best during the match, whether I win or lose.”

When I first heard about this my first thought was everyone in Zea can see the writing on the wall...

[rmarques.livejournal.com]

Not exactly a career path compatible with idoldom, is it? The injury potential alone...

[koushiba.livejournal.com]

It would break my heart if he left :< but this isn't the best thing to take up while also being an idol... and it's not like they give him a lot of lines...

[rmarques.livejournal.com]

Of all things an idol could pick up, this is a really random one.

Yass papi! Kick some ass. Nice to an idol actually using their muscles.

I haven't followed ZE:A after Mazeltov but he was my fav..
I hope he does well (though I'm having a hard time deciding if I should laugh or to cheer him on...)
Can't find anything about the event on google, does anyone know who he's going to fight?

I tried searching on naver but all the articles are basically variations of this one, maybe they haven't released the match info?

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

It's... weird that they're letting him do this, but I hope he does well.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Yeah I know he keeps saying it's something he's always wanted to do but I'm just surprised SE would even let him

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

I want to be hopeful and say "hey, they're letting idols have control over their own bodies and careers!" so I'll just stick with that for now.

Him and Heechul always get screwed when it comes to activities so good for him.

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

Star Empire has no love for the rappers, apparently.

when i first saw this it was untranslated so i thought the worst lmao but this is so great, him finally getting to do stuff outside of group activities ;^; hope he does well

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

He and the leader are the two members i keep forgetting exists.
The only reason i know him is bec he plays goalie for the team my bias is on every futsal game.
I hope he finds success in this field cause he certainly isnt getting the opportunities his company should be providing for him and his groupmates.

good luck to him. silva's match where his leg broke is forever imprinted in my mind

[domokuniscute.livejournal.com]

That was so nasty :( When it cracks at the joints or whatever I cringe a little but Silva's I was literally hiding away from the screen and touching my leg.

[maadkid.livejournal.com]

Oh boy, I remember watching that match live. The replays fucked me up

[sskaller.livejournal.com]

Good on him for being able to do other things he wants, especially while still being young. I hope he does well!

[annieshoe.livejournal.com]

this is really random...

[soo-tic.livejournal.com]

I'm happy that he's doing something he likes. I never see him, leader, Heechul or Minwoo doing anything outside ZEA activities :( I guess this is something he'll do when the group isn't promoting. I wonder what the other members are up to when they aren't promoting together as a group.

I wish 3Peace☆Lovers was still a thing.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Lol I went out of my way to find that photo just for this post :o

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Are there any new shirtless photos I am not aware of haha this was one of the latest I've seen and *____*



Now I can't wait for the 15th

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

UM TAEHUN you're supposed to be a selca king I expect a better quality photo than this. But I like that he's not totally ripped like with 6 or 8 packs or whatever. Oh and there's also this



he looks so tiny next to the rest of the fighters lol

[syimato.livejournal.com]

i just hope that he wouldnt be like Mickey Rourke. He damaged his beautiful face because of boxing and countless surgeries to repair it...
