2PM, Jung Yunho, Kpop, taecyeon, TVXQ 12 Jun 2011 [NEWS] Hip Hop Group Cream Team’s U-Know Yunho-Taecyeon Diss Controversy “Puppets Who Spit Out Rap”!

Hip hop group Cream Team’s new single ‘Yes, You’ has been swept up in controversy for dissing U-Know Yunho and Taecyeon.

Releasing their third single ‘Yes, You’ on the 7th, Cream Team’s Mazorkey and Amotai quickly became hot topics for using slang and swear words as they directed their lyrics at idols singers saying, ‘Doll-like kids are taking their clothes off, some are ripping them off. They are the idols of kids, this isn’t a diss but saying that is awesome isn’t cool at all.” They also became the topics of a heated debate when netizens accused them of directly attacking and dissing TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho and 2PM’s Taecyeon.

In hip hop, dissing is common and used in a variety of ways to attack people rappers don’t like through songs or actions to portray their raw emotions. Using implications, rappers leave evidence for listeners to guess who the subject of their diss is.

Netizens who heard ‘Yes, You’ say that the lyrics ‘Doll-like kids are taking their clothes off, some are ripping them off. All they have to show are their chocolate abs that will melt off soon’ are garnered at Taecyeon, who is called ‘Ripping Taecyeon’ for his shirt-ripping performances while the lyrics, ‘The white page and dry pen that reflect your heart, is that the truth of life that you speak of?’ sound similar to the rap that U-Know Yunho performed on KBS 2TV’s ‘Happy Together season 3′, implying that Cream Team are mocking U-Know Yunho.


Furthermore, Daum’s Music Corner’s introduction to the single album is pouring oil on the flame. The introduction reads, “Cream Team’s Mazorkey and Amotai are pulling the bowstring taut and their targets are 2PM’s Ok Taecyeon of JYP and TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho of TVXQ,” and “A sharp admonition against those who act like the main characters of hip hop with their extravagant performances and so-so looks.” By blatantly stating U-Know Yunho and Taecyeon’s name, Daum solidified the fact that ‘Yes, You’ is a diss song aimed at the two singers.

As the controversy grew, Cream Team’s Amotai left a tweet on his Twitter account that read, “There isn’t a single part in my lyrics that directly singles out Ok Taecyeon or U-Know Yunho. If you feel guilty about that, call me out for it,” and “Unlike my lyrics, Mazorkey’s definitely has parts relating to Ok Taecyeon and U-Know Yunho.” By indirectly admitting that ‘Yes, You’ is a diss song aimed at the two singers, Amotai has only caused the controversy to rage further.

Fortunately, I’m able to conclude ‘Dream High’ amidst the love and support of my drama family. I know I was lacking, but I’ll work on my skills in order to improve as an actress and meet you all again. My ‘Dream High’ family, my miss A unnis, and all of those who loved ‘Dream High’, thank you. I will never forget the winter I spent life as ‘Go Hyemi.’”

I was worried over whether I’d be able to do okay since I was playing the lead role in only my second project, but through the help and support of my friends, my acting junior J.Y. Park, and all of the staff members who helped the drama shine, I was able to take part in a meaningful project. It was very cold filming in the winter, but I spent a winter which was just as beautiful.”

Wooyoung, who played the role of ‘Jason’, concluded, “How could it be, ‘Dream High’ is already coming to an end!! I was nervous, especially since it was my first acting debut and because of the amount of English lines I had, but I was able to overcome it all thanks to the help of 2PM’s Taecyeon, and my seniors and directors. It was an extremely meaningful start and experience, so I’d like to thank all of those who supported and loved ‘Jason’.”

KBS drama “Dream High” has beat out its competitors in the Mondays and Tuesdays primetime slot for the sixth week, according to surveys by major media research firms on Wednesday.

Dream High 2pm Taecyeon bed scene

Kim Soo-hyeon-I and Taecyeon's bed scene drew viewers' eyes.

On the 18th KBS 2TV drama "Dream High", Song Sam-dong (Kim Soo-hyeon-I) and Jin-gook (Tacyeon) living together.

These two were jealous of each other for Hye-mi (Suzy). Seeing Sam-dong change his clothes, Jin-gook saw he was wearing his underwear and told him to take it of that instant.

Innocently, Sam-dong says, "What's ours is ours. If I wear it, it's my underwear". Then Jin-gook ran forwards and tried taking back his underwear.

But Jin-gook resisted and they ended up fighting for it on the bed, creating a 'bed scene'.

At their giddy bed scene, viewers say, "My heart is fluttering", "This is a real giddy bed scene. Skinship too!", "I laughed so hard at them".

On this episode, those who couldn't take part in the Kirin Art School showcase, Hye-mi, Jin-gook, Sam-dong and Pil-sook (IU) prepare for an imaginary showcase.

Dream High : Taecyeon & Wooyoung character

Jason (17 y.o.)/Jang Wooyoung

Comes back from USA unexpectedly and enters Kirin High

Has great dancing and singing abilities, but has no
interest in competing with others. He simply enjoys it.

He's laid back and even lazy to the point that he can
easily fall asleep before a test or an important
performance.

His dance skills makes Jinguk nervous, and his singing
is obviously threatening to Samdong (Kim Suhyun's character)

Jaeson's Story (Jang Wooyoung)

Details
Speaks English only when it's necessary.
When he needs to pick up girls, or disregard
some overconfident guy...

Good points
Inborn dancing, singing, rapping skills. Rich background
in New Jersey. Handsome, gifted with a whole set of
a top star talent.

Bad points
Has no will to succeed in dancing. It's just for fun...

Jason, Just Enjoy~!

Singing and dancing is only for fun.

Jinguk (18y.o.)/Ok Taecyeon

Real name Hyun Shihyeok. Always looks outgoing and
bright, but deep inside his heart there's a wound
that doesn't heal.

He was left in an orphanage at a very young age by
his single mother. Not long after he was left at the
orphanage he was adopted by Hyun Mujin, a chairman
of his father's famous group. Jinguk was not happy
in that house, treated like an invisible person.
Eventually he dropped out of high school, left home
and began living a new life under the name of Jinguk.

While spending time with his street friends, dancing,
he accidentaly found himself at Kirin High School
audition one day...

Jinguk's story
Details

Treasure No.1 external harddrive full of porn.
Treasure No.2 motorcycle
Hobby: Sitting at the bottom of the stairs and
appreciating high school girls in mini skirts walking
up and down the stairs.

Good points.
Tall, handsome, dances well. As he captures female
hearts well, he coaches Samdong about love life.

Bad points.
Can't sing. Always laughs off and evades answering
when someone approaches him sincerely.

Jinguk, the moment I hear the music, the world is mine!!

2pm Taecyeon Ready To Enter Military Service!

Taecyeon is up to serve his countr an now ready to enter military service. He declined his permanent residence visa and decide to enter the military instead. Taecyeon is planning to do active military work instead of public service work.

According to JYP Entertainment which was confirmed by Money Today Star News stating,

"Taecyeon revealed that he would like to give up his American permanent residence visa, and recently on December 1st, he received his official confirmation for his permanent residence cancellation. Taecyeon has voiced out thoughts of wanting to enter the military service. He submitted his documents on the 1st, and is clear on his actions. Now that Taecyeon wants to enter active duties, he recently received a re-examination. I think he was affected by the recent Yeon Pyeong Island shelling, so we want to respect his decision. Since Taecyeon is still at a young age, he won’t be entering the military immediately. He is currently active as an actor as well as continuing his studies, so we still need to watch over him.”

Well, good luck Taecyeon! One brave decision it is considering South Korea's situation right now against North Korea. Please when it is time for your enlistment, come back safely! Many fans will miss your beastly rap!

Taecyeon confirms his status as a ‘beast idol’ by benchpressing 100kg weights

2PM’s Taecyeon showed off his beast-like strength during a recent guest appearance on MBC’s ‘Enjoy Today’.

 On November 7th, the cast of ‘Early Today’ and the members of 2PM held a soccer battle with the FIFA U-17 Womens’ World Cup champions. Yet before the big match, 2PM competed with the ‘Enjoy Today’ cast to see who could lift the heaviest weights on the bench press.

‘Enjoy Today’ member Shin Hyun Joon tried to lift 80kg, and after much agony succeeded in the task. Full of confidence, the actor then called for 20kg more, thereby lifting a total of 100kg. Yet his triumph was short-lived – Taecyeon surprised everyone when he lifted three reps of 100kg weights effortlessly.

Eventually, the men did face off against their female opponents, but unfortunately lost to the champion team with a score of 1:5.

Taecyeon becomes the prodigy dancer for new drama, “Dream High”

2PM’s Taecyeon has been confirmed for the drama “Dream High“, and both fans as well as casual viewers from “Cinderella’s Sister” are demonstrating high enthusiasm for the choice.

Taecyeon will play the role of ‘Jin Gook‘, a prodigy in dancing yet a scoundrel in school. Although Jin Gook grew up rebelling against all school-related activities, Director Lee of ‘Kin Rin (Giraffe) Prep School’ encouraged his enrolment in the school. The rebel finds his hidden talent as a dancer in the artistic school, and dreams of becoming a world star. He’s also involved in a love story with ‘Hyemi’ (actress undisclosed), a bold and proud singer who deems herself as the second Jo Sumi, a Grammy-winning soprano.

Taecyeon’s acting in “Cinderella’s Sister” was praised far and wide for successfully portraying a man with an unrequited, yet unfaltering love. In this new work, he will showcase a similar devotion, but to dancing and demonstrating an adolescent’s hope.

Reportedly, Taecyeon and actor Kim Soo Hyun (SBS “Giant“) assisted each other with improving their performing and acting skills: Kim Soo Hyun adopted Taecyeon’s stage manners and performance, while Taecyeon received guidance on acting from Kim Soo Hyun. Kim Soo Hyun has been slotted to play ‘Song Sam Dong’, a rural dancer who’s as equally talented as Jin Gook.

Taecyeon stated, “I’m very excited at this new project. I’m especially happy that the drama is music-based and there are amazing seniors to guide me. I’ll give everything of myself to create a spectacular work”.
