Taecyeon: top singer, rookie variety star, what about his acting?


[MyDaily = Bae Kuknam, Mass Culture Special Journalist] 2PM’s Taecyeon, a singer with the greatest popularity but rejected as a variety star. What about his acting?

2PM’s Taecyeon is moving forward as a singer, a variety star, and an actor. Even though Taecyeon may have been met with success as a singer, he is receiving heated rejections regarding his role as a variety star.

Despite the situation, he will be meeting the viewers as an actor. Set to air on the 31st, KBS’s newest drama, Cinderella Sister, has cast Taecyeon as one of their lead actors, showing Taecyeon’s first steps in his new career.

From 2008, Taecyeon began as a member of 2PM and was met with considerable success, becoming the representative icon of the beastly idol image. Their albums had great sales, furthering Taecyeon’s worth, and his scandalous shirt ripping performances on stage has put him in the position of the best idol of today’s market.

Like many other idols his age, he has also set foot in the world of variety shows, expanding his career opportunities. Taecyeon began with MC’ing for SBS’s Inkigayo and joined SBS’s Family Outing 2 as a fixed cast member, officially starting his variety activities.

However, Taecyeon was not able to show exceptional talent as an MC. And although Family Outing 2 was the much anticipated variety show of the year, Taecyeon’s cast brought more disappointment than anticipation. Even though he is officially starting his role as a variety star, there have been many problems exposed. He lacks the sense, comments, jokes, and personal skills needed to be properly called a variety star, and not only that, but he lacks the connections to the viewers, his relationships with the other cast members seeming strained or forced. He is not funny at all and relies too much on his beastly idol image, causing his appearance to be quite ‘appearance-less.’

The reason for such blatant exposures of problems is Taecyeon’s fault for not properly setting up the foundations needed to enter the world of variety shows.

Taecyeon is now going into acting. Since 1990, the pattern of singers turning into actors have grounded itself into the general system. When the career lives of idol singers have run their last breath, they turn to acting to further their careers, causing an influx of singer turned actors in today’s market.

Although there may be a few singers that have been met with success, there are more failures. From Lee Hyori to others, a variety of idol group celebrities have attempted to begin acting but their lack of actual acting skills were proven by the short careers they were instead met with, so much so that the general opinion amongst the public is that any idol singer turned actor is now immediately associated with ‘no acting talent.’

Taecyeon has already exposed a problem. Will he able to succeed as an actor? Cinderella Sister will be an important milestone in his career. Should he show a weak talent in this area, it will inevitably give a negative impact to his career as a singer.

Taecyeon will be starring in Cinderella Sister as a rough character that falls in love with the only woman that has ever cooked for him. Because of his love for her, he turns 180 degrees into a handsome, successful young man as Han Jungwoo. He will also be starring with Moon Geunyoung, Chun Jungmyung, and Seo Woo.

Although he has succeeded as a singer and has been met with disappointment as a variety star, what kind of result will he show us with his acting?
