It might have seemed a little weird to some people that I wrote the opinionated profile for GOT7 before I wrote 2PM’s, but that’s because I’m really not that into 2PM. The guys are super hot (One of the hottest guys in all of kpop is in this group!) and I definitely enjoy watching them, but I’ve never really gotten into their music. It’s not that it’s bad, it just doesn’t grab me. I’m always hoping, and waiting, for that one single that’ll really make me a Hottest though! I think I could do real well with 2PM. Anyway, here’s my ranking!
6. Nichkhun
Birth name: Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul
Stage name: Nichkhun
Birthday: June 24, 1988
Official height: 180 cm
Position: Vocalist, Face of the Group
Comment: I know this isn’t the way it normally goes, but I’ve actually started liking Nichkhun more after the news broke that he’s dating Tiffany. Thing is, I adore Tiffany. And if she thinks he’s a great guy, then I’m going to trust her on that.
But Nichkhun still isn’t very interesting to me. As I wrote here there’s a mismatch between his face and body that’s slightly freaking me out. His face is so adorable, yet he has that crazy amazing body, which feels strange. I mean, I’m not really complaining, it’s just not for me. I’ve never seen Nichkhun as sexy, and I need to feel that from my biases. At least a little.
As a singer he’s never impressed me. Yes, I don’t follow 2PM much, but I have seen enough lives to know that Nichkhun is not the best singer. He’s not terrible, but as far as I can see he’s for sure there for looks.
5. Chansung
Birth name: Hwang Chan Sung
Stage name: Chansung
Birthday: February 11, 1990
Official height: 184 cm
Position: Vocalist, Rapper, Maknae
Comment: I have a slightly strange relationship with Chansung. At times I find him to be beyond gorgeous, and super sexy, but then the next moment he’s completely plain to me. So I can’t really decide what to do about him. One thing I know for sure though; I find him way more interesting than Nichkhun, so this is where he belongs.
I’ve never paid any attention to him as a rapper, nor as a singer, which most probably means that he isn’t terrible, but not especially good either. I might be wrong in that though.
If we compare the ages of 2PM to my favorite group SHINee we realize that either 2PM is a very old group, or SHINee is a very young group. I’m leaning towards the latter. 2PM debuted a few months after SHINee, and Chansung, their youngest member, is only about 2 months younger than SHINee’s oldest member, Onew. I’ve gotten so used to SHINee’s ages that I don’t think about how young they are, but this reminds me that they really are young.
4. Wooyoung
Birth name: Jang Woo Young
Stage name: Wooyoung
Birthday: April 30, 1989
Official height: 178 cm
Position: Main Vocalist
Comment: Wooyoung was one of the very first members of 2PM that I learned to recognize, since I find him first through his solo endeavors. I found him hot and a good dancer and singer, but he’s never really captured me. So even though he’s always been one of the more recognizable members for me, there was never any risk of him becoming my bias. (Which is good, because this is my friend’s bias)
As I said, Wooyoung impressed me from the get-go with his dancing and singing. He’s definitely one of the stronger singers in the group, but he’s not my favorite singer.
Every time I see him nowadays I always think of Jason, his character on Dream High. That was a great and hilarious character, and Wooyoung made me laugh quite a lot.
3. Jun.K
Birth name: Kim Min Jun (Previously Kim Jun Su)
Stage name: Jun.K
Birthday: January 15, 1988
Official height: 180 cm
Position: Lead Vocalist
Comment: I can never really decide who my favorite singer in 2PM is, but Jun.K is for sure one of the candidates. He’s a very good singer, with a voice that stands out.
When I first started getting into 2PM a little more, and learned the members, Jun.K became my bias. He was the one that stood out to me immediately, and I found him easy to recognize. His face is a little bit strange, but it’s a hot kind of strange, and I dig it!
2. Junho
Birth name: Lee Jun Ho
Stage name: Junho
Birthday: January 25, 1990
Official height: 178 cm
Position: Main Vocalist
Comment: Yeah, my favorite singer is either Jun.K or Junho. They’re both very good, and my favorite varies from song to song, from live performance to live performance. Spots 2 and 3 on this list are incredibly close to each other, and vary pretty much daily. Today I’m a little more into Junho, but I can guarantee that that’ll change.
It’s quite strange to me that Junho’s climbed this high up on my bias list, because he was the member I for the longest time couldn’t recognize. I had to go through all the members and realize it wasn’t any of them before I could be sure that it was him. I guess this proves that there’s hope for anyone, no matter how uninteresting I find them in the beginning.
Junho is incredibly cute, and his smile is amazing. But he still has that thing that Nichkhun doesn’t: some sex appeal. I’m sure there’s plenty of people that think Nichkhun’s got that, but I just don’t feel it. But I for sure feel it from Junho! He’ll never be the sexiest, but from time to time he’s definitely second-best.
1. Taecyeon
Birth name: Ok Taec Yeon
Stage name: Taecyeon
Birthday: December 27, 1988
Official height: 185 cm
Position: Main Rapper, Vocalist, Face of the Group
Comment: Taecyeon is smoking hot, at all times. And it’s so shocking to me now that I didn’t see that until I watched Dream High. But after I started watching that, wow did I see it. I think it took about one episode before Jun.K was officially discarded, and Taecyeon had taken his new spot as my official bias in 2PM.
He’s just gorgeous gorgeous GORGEOUS! There’s not much more to say about him. One of the hottest guys in all of kpop, that’s for sure.
He can’t rap. 2PM lost it’s only capable rapper when they lost Jay Park. But Taecyeon’s rapping is almost so bad it’s kind of good. I like his tone, it’s sexy, and also, well, he’s sexy. His rapping doesn’t piss me off, but Taecyeon isn’t actually a rapper. He’s someone JYP wants to be a rapper.
I love that he’s a dork! It makes him way more attractive to me, if that is even possible.

I would live to see them live on day! Tbh none of them are good vocalists in my eyes but I love Junsu’s and Junho’s voices and these guys know how to throw a party onstage!
I think 2PM’s Wild Bunny is still the funniest show an idol group has ever done.
Btw I voted for Chansung and I have no freaking idea how he became my favorite 2PM member XD
Haha it’s so hilarious when that happens! Like, I have no idea whatsoever how Sehun became my second favorite in EXO-K, yet there he is! Strange.
I’m happy you covered 2PM! They were my first bias group, and really got me into kpop. I’m not as obsessed with them as I used to be but I’ll always have a special, soft spot for them❤
My bias went from Nichkhun for 2 seconds (I first saw his Men’s Health cover and was deceived that he’d be the sexy member. He’s cute but just doesn’t appeal to me) to Wooyoung to Jun.K and now it’s Junho (I always vote Jun.K in polls though cuz he’s so underrated ugh)
I find Chansung incredibly useless as I have zero attraction to him and he can’t sing or rap period. His acting is good though, so I wish he’d gone that route to begin with.
Taecyeon..I have a love/hate relationship with. He’s hot, knows English, and is such a dork, but his acting makes me cringe beyond belief.
I actually like his “rapping” cuz his voice is so sexy. But what you said is perfect, “he’s someone JYP wants to be a rapper”
Oh and you should listen to 2PM songs other than the title tracks! Out of those, the best one’s probably ADTOY mainly cuz you get to check out their ass. Lol here are some 2PM song recommendations: Today Marks the First Day and Zero Point from their last album, Even If You Leave Me, I Was Crazy About You, Angel, Like a Movie, All Night Long, Maja.
Their slower songs are the best 🙂
Yeah ADTOY’s definitely my favorite 😉 But thanks for the recommendations, I’ll try to remember to check them out! 🙂
I’m glad you’re happy with it!
To be honest, all of their covers make it seem that way… They’re very nice covers 😉
I do feel a bit of attraction towards Chansung, but I see your point.
I don’t think Taecyeon’s acting’s that bad, but I might have been blinded by how hot he was….
