2PM’s One-to-One Japanese Lessons

[hey-insomnia.livejournal.com]

The “Beast Idols,” with their appeal of wildness, are putting effort into their preparations for their advancement in Japan.

2PM, in tandem with Sony Music, will commence their activities in Japan, carrying out promotions and TV show appearances sometime around March. Language is their main challenge in doing full blown entertainment activities overseas. 2PM, in their preparatory period, have been receiving private lessons in Japanese and are aiming to boost their language ability.

Officials from the company they work for, JYP Entertainment, said, “In doing activities in Japan, the most important thing, after all is said and done, is language and [2PM] has been receiving private lessons from a teacher who is Japanese. Because this person can also speak Korean, the lessons have not been a great difficulty.”

They also said, “The members have been receiving one-on-one lessons in between work. They are all enthusiastic but Taecyeon and Nichkhun are especially quick learners. Taecyeon knew a little Japanese from the start and Nichkhun (who has a Thai father and Chinese-American mother) has plenty of experience learning languages, such as Thai, English, and Korean. Thus, their learning seems to be going smoothly. Chansung, Wooyoung, Junho, and Junsu are also studying with utmost effort”

2PM will commence their full-scale promotions in March and their large-scale, nation-wide tour is set to occur in May.

Euphemism for "failing"?

Lol jk.

Careful Khun, you learn anymore languages and you'll turn into Alexander.
Taec only knows Japanese cause he's been reading naughty mangas. >_>

[mrschangmin.livejournal.com]

lol for taec...
what about alexander????
dont know about that

[nightfrost75.livejournal.com]

Alexander from U-kiss speaks 7 languages.

[shavashava.livejournal.com]

does he speak them fluently though??

[nightfrost75.livejournal.com]

His English is great, he seems pretty comfortable in the Chinese languages it's only the Portuguese, Spanish and Japanese I can't verify.



Of course his Korea is pretty good.:P

[shavashava.livejournal.com]

srry ur icon is too beautiful for me to read anything you posted

[nightfrost75.livejournal.com]

Perfectly understandable.

[xoxoknlove.livejournal.com]

[taecyeons-teeth.livejournal.com]

This resulting in the most confused accent ever 8D gotta love him <3

[aniloratka.livejournal.com]

Wooyoung already showed us his flawless japanese in dream high

[royalantares.livejournal.com]

Better than his English (I'm guessing).

[aniloratka.livejournal.com]

no, as flawless as his english (`･ω･´)

[walkingparadoxx.livejournal.com]

It was so hot I had to replay it at least 5 times like i do with all other woo scenes

[aniloratka.livejournal.com]

totally :)

[devilslover422.livejournal.com]

god they have some shiny legs, but they are beautiful!!!!

please just promise me u'll comeback and not leave for 2 years like a certain other group. *cough*

[crystalheng.livejournal.com]

Now that you've mentioned it... lol. I don't get why they needed to have shine photoshopped onto their legs (@_@)

[royalantares.livejournal.com]

It means they have dry skin. My brother has the same problem and I get it when I have freshly shaven legs. Chansung doesn't have it meaning his skin is better hydrated.

[crystalheng.livejournal.com]

Ohh! Cool, didn't know that. I thought the shine was photoshopped xP Thanks :D

[devilslover422.livejournal.com]

honestly think they lotioned them up real good and the and the flash from the camera caught it. lol

[royalantares.livejournal.com]

Too bad Khun can't speak those 3 languages well.

[shinobu-chan69.livejournal.com]
