[News] 2PM Nich Khun"both Thailand and Korean feel like my home"



Korea is like my second home. He said, "both Thailand and Korean feel like my home" as he revealed the same strong affection for both countries.


On the 15th at the Thailand Radisson Plaza Hotel, "Let's Take a Break" fan club trip to Phucket with Nichkhun meeting was held.

Here, Nichkhun said, "In Thailand, my family is here and so it's warm and happy. And in Korea, the people that are like family are his (2PM) members, office (JYPE) family, and fans and so he's also happy there."

Nichkhun expressed gratitude to the Korean fans who showed love and interest in him even as a foreigner.

"I came from a different country, so it's so fascinating to see how much love I receive. To show my gratitude, my desire to work even harder has grown. I will work harder in the future." What he shared got a lot of attention.

Nichkhun, the Thai American, came to Korean 4 years ago to become a singer. Now, he's a member of a popular group doing activities. But when he was younger, because he was shy and had a quiet personality, they couldn't have imagined him singing on stage with so many people watching him.

"When I was young, I couldn't even sing in front of my father and mother. Now my father looks a me says that I'm doing well and has asked me to show him my good work," he shared.

Nichkhun, again, shared that he would like to travel to Phucket with his 2PM members. "The members really love the beach, if there's a chance, I really want to come to Phucket with the members." He never forgot his love for his (2PM) members.

[News] C.N. Blue's Manager Attack The Group's Female Fans


A videograb by Manila Bulletin Entertainment Online shows the action of the manager against a fan.

After getting embroiled in plagiarism controversy, Korean boy band C.N.Blue is again at the center of another issue.

Netizens decry the violent attacks done by C.N.Blue’s manager against a female fan who tried to get a glimpse of the boy band as they alighted from a van last February on their way to the rehearsal for the KBS TV program “Music Bank”.

Manila Bulleting Entertainment Online got a copy of the five-second video of the attacks.

In the video, the fans are shown standing around the van as C.N.Blue members were getting off from the vehicle one by one. Suddenly, the manager started flinging his arm and hitting anyone within his range.

The video has shocked fans and earned the ire of many netizens who severely criticized the manager for acting violently against the poor fan.

“That was a big too much for the manager to do. He's not only making himself look bad but also C.N.Blue,” one fan wrote on K-pop forum, Soompi.

After the video surfaced online, FNC Music, C.N.Blue’s agency, issued an apology and explanation over the incident.

According to the agency, the incident happened in the afternoon of February 11 at the KBS parking lot in Seoul. It said the manager had asked the fans to give way for the boy band so they could get inside the KBS building because C.N.Blue was already running late for the rehearsals.

FNC Music said that as the members were getting off the van, one female fan pulled the hood of C.N.Blue member Lee Jonghyun’s jacket that he almost tripped. This was when the manager started the violent act against the fan.

FNC Music has apologized for the incident, adding that the manager will be held responsible for the what happened, and that other managers will be educated to prevent a repeat.

As for some netizens' claim that the video showed Jongyhun laughing at his manager’s display of violence, FNC Music clarified that Jonghyun did so only because he almost fell when the fan tugged his jacket.

The agency said that based on the video, Jonghyun could not have seen his manager acting violently since his line of vision was being blocked by the hood of his jacket.

And it's not true that Lee Jonghyun was smiling during the violence, FNC Music said.

C.N.Blue debuted in South Korea last month with their mini-album “Bluetory.” The group is composed of Lee Jonghyun, Jung Yonghwa, Kang Minhyuk and Lee Jungshin.

Here is the proof video that the manager really did a crucial act to the fans.
