Okay, I know what you’re thinking. Wasn’t Taecyeon born in S. Korea? Well yes, but he and his family immigrated to America when he was young and lived in Massachusetts for many years before he returned to Korea. He speaks fluent English as well as Korean AND he’s a hottie so darn it he’s included! LOL. Taecyeon became a member of 2pm back in 2008 when he and 13 other young men took part in a reality show called Hot Blood Men. In addition to being in 2pm, Taecyeon is also an actor. He made his acting debut in the kdrama Cinderella’s Sister. He also starred in Who Are You, Dream High and the Japanese drama Boku to Star no 99 Nichi.

There seems to be small bits of scandals that seem to be associated with Taecyeon. He had some private pictures on his social media that were leaked on the internet back in 2010. I have no idea what type of pictures they were but I read that he was so upset about it, he shut down his account. He’s also been linked to Girl’s Generation Jessica and Yoona. I feel bad about this because these are definitely not scandals in my eyes (except maybe the picture thing and that depends on what type of pictures). Perhaps the word “scandal” means something different in Korea then it does here, but it seems like Taecyeon, and any other idol for that matter, can’t be seen with a member of the opposite sex outside of work without it being a scandal.

Anyways, I’ll step off my soapbox about that and get back to Taecyeon. And his abs. Have you seen them? No? Well then enjoy these pictures. This man’s abs are amazing!
