Ssanti dancer is here! I bet that you all have seen his ssanti dance, right? No one can beat hisssanti-ness! But! Beside the fact that he is the king of ssanti dance, we can’t forget his powerful voice when he sings. 2567 days (7 years and 10 days) of training (Jokwon becoming JYPE’s trainee when he was 11 years old) DOES worth a lot! From that born a FULL OF TALENT Jokwon. he was chosen as last members of Park Jinyoung’s 99% Challenge project along with Wondergirls’ Sunye. Together with Jaebum, Jokwon is one of 2 leaders in oneday. If Jaebum is 2PM’s leader, then Jokwon is 2AM’s leader. Sometime people thinks that he is the magnae of the group, not Jinwoon. But actually, in front of his dongsaeng he can be so mature, that’s the othe side of Jokwon. Jokwon is the only child, and he loves his mother so much!

Recently, Jokwon is featured on Hwantastic Project Vol. 2 together with Whale, he sang the song of Lee Seung Hwan titled “Dunk Shoot”. The MV has been released, in the MV you can see the cute side of Jokwon on this MV. Jokwon is gaining so much attention after he does Brown Eyed Girls’ “Abracadabra” parody together with Seulong, Taecyeon, Wooyoung and Chansung. Because of his popularity, Jokwon is invited to become a star on several TV show such as :

 and several other TV show

For being a permanent guest in the 3 big broadcasting company (KBS, SBS and MBC), Jokwon said that he has “saved” 2AM. Jokwon is really gaining much popularity now, especially from his fake marriage with Ga-in in MBC We Got Married show. Many fans think that they really look good together and they should really start dating for real. Jokwon and Ga-in also had made a song titled “We Fell in Love” and release an MV. And also get 1st place in music programs, just from online single sales (without releasing an album) and without any intense promoting performance. He is hoping that he will also reached top the chart with 2AM’s new single “I can’t Let You Go even if I Die” (죽어도 못 보내) which is released in January 21, 2010 (which it did, they got 1st place on 7th February 2010 on SBS Inkigayo). Jokwon is featured on May Doni’s song “몰라-ing” together with Jinwoon. Jokwon ever said that he was originally a 2PM’s member until “This Song” (이노래) was released. Park Jinyoung thought that Jokwon’s vocal is really suits to the song. and also, this song with made Jokwon’s vocal that has been trained for 8 years will be really great for the song. Jokwon was diagnosed with H1N1 on October 28, 2009, but he quickly recovered after that. Jokwon is confirmed to be the member of Family Outing Season 2 together with Taecyeon.

On 2AM’s mini-drama for song “I was Wrong”, Jokwon had a role for a high school student who also a DJ that likes the same girl with the other 2AM members.Back in the trainee days, Junsu and the other members said that Jokwon is almost like the Sajang-nim (director) of the JYPE because he has been trained in such a long time. He even hold a power over the trainee even though that trainee is older than him. Jokwon said that he can predict which trainee will be ditched out from JYPE and which one is not.

As the one and only idol that has done his military service at the young age, everyone has noticed this powerful singer from ballad group 2AM. He has a unique personality.

Changmin and Jokwon released a track together titled “Graduation” (졸업). He also released a track solo for OST for a film A Dream Comes True (돌멩이의 꿈) titled “Don’t Swallow” (삼키지마).

Changmin is the only one of oneday member that wasn’t part of oneday’s M.Net Hot Blood Documentary. That’s because Changmin is joining JYPE after that show is done and after he’s done serving his mandatory military service. Many of oneday member got jealous of him because he debuted just in 3 months after being trainee in JYPE. Changmin just have a short time of training, but his skill is really great, that’s why even though his training period is short but he can become a great singer. But Changmin himself said that he wants to being trainee a little bit longer so he can fully prepared to becoming an idol.

He got so much attention because of his stretching leg on the end of the dance. Lastly, he ever featured on Mario’s song titled “Superman”. Suprisingly, Changmin is really fluent if it’s coming to English. Without any notice, it turns out that he has been living in Canada before, that’s why he really fluent when it comes to English. Changmin, as the only idol that has done his military service said that he still have to go to reserve training in the middle of his activity. So, he ever said, that if when he is missing from 2AM, that means he’s going into reserve training which is highly secret (it’s South Korean’s government secret).

Back then, when he still a trainee, his fellow member 2AM said that he used to be fatter and has many moles on his face. He went under training and diet to shaped his body and receive a treatment to eliminate the moles on his face.

2AM was ever interviewed about how’s they’re relationship with 2PM, since 2PM is really big at the moment. Changmin wisely answered:

“AM and PM is having their good and bad side on their own, sometimes we want something but they have it and vice versa.”

And the interviewer asking about what does 2AM wants from 2PM, and what 2PM wants from 2AM. They answered:

Jokwon: “There’s Khun in 2PM, and also Wooyoung. Sometimes they talk really funny. But we have Changmin hyung here…”
Changmin: (interrupted) “If I go to 2PM, that’s the moment that they will face their fail.”
Changmin: “They’re normal now, but in the moment I come to them, they’ll fail.” (laughing)
Seulong: “But I really just one thing.. I really want Taecyeon to stop saying that he wants to become AM.”
Seulong: (joking) “Ok Taecyeon-sshi, please stop.” (laughing)

Well.. He is a hyung, but always got scolded by his dongsaeng, especially the magnae! What a pity.. But it shows that he is a hyung that TOO caring to his dongsaeng. Kinda silent but cute person, and also a charismatic performance when in the stage, that is Seulong’s personality. He’s kinda awkward person at first, but after know him better, he become a really kind person. And even though he has a really tall figure and nice-builded body, he easily got scared by small things like bugs.

Seulong can play piano, and just like Nichkhun, he can play piano while himself or other member sings. Together with Nichkhun, he ever become a model to represent Andre Kim’s new fashions collection and walk on the runway. Because he has a tall proportional posture, and a perfect-builded body and nice abs, he got a perfect posture for a model. But well.. One thing is bad, HE’S HAIRY. There’s a funny story about his 1st meeting with Andre Kim:

AK : “ireumi mwo-e yo?” (what’s your name?)
SO : “ah, choneun Im Seulong imnida.” (oh, my name is Im Seulong)
AK : “ah.. Uhm Jeulyong-sshi?” (oh, mr. Om Jeulyong?)

When we think that he is a quiet person, Seulong is proven that HE IS NOT. He’s proven himself that he can perform the Brown Eyed Girls’ “Abracadabra” parody together with Jokwon, Chansung, and Taecyeon. On this parody MV, we can see that he’s actually HILLAROUS. Currently, Seulong, together with Jokwon and Jinwoon is a regular casts of MBC We Got Married with Jokwon as the fake married couple with Brown Eyed Girls’ Ga-in and Seulong and Jinwoon as the commentator of their life together with the other MCs.

Seulong is said to be a coke lover, and on 2AM’s dorm, the referigetor is filled with coke. The fans of him sometimes giving him coke as present because he really likes this drink. Apparently, Jinwoon is following Seulong’s hobby in drinking coke when Seulong said:

Seulong: “He knows that this drink is bad for your body but he’s drinking anyway..”
Jinwoon: “No I’m not! I’m in the ‘no-coke’ period, you know..”

Seulong’s voice is so high, he can sing a ridiculously high pitch note, that’s why he became 2AM’s lead vocalist. On 2AM’s mini-drama for song “I was Wrong”, Seulong had a role for a high school student who also a motobiker that likes the same girl with the other 2AM members.

Seulong said that he found his dream to become a singer is becase Bae Yongjun (actor). He said when he was a child, he was casted in a CF filming with Bae Yongjun as the lead role. When he was waiting, Bae Yongjun calls him to the car and ask him to sing a Kim Gunmo’s song which really popular at that time. After he sang it, Bae Yongjun told him that he has a great voice and he can be a singer one day. After hearing that from a great person like Bae Yongjun, Seulong start to think to become a singer. And now, he is a singer. But Seulong said that he never Bae Yongjun again even after he has debuted as a singer, then he said if they can meet sometime, he really want to have a conversation with Bae Yongjun and thanked him to help Seulong finding his dream as a singer.
