Boy band 2PM member Nichkhun appears on talk show "Steel Heart" [SBS]

Nichkhun, member of popular idol group 2PM who is famous for his dashing looks, has said that being told he is pretty is like "an insult" for him.

The 21-year-old singer made the remark while appearing as a guest on popular celebrity talk show "Steel Heart," according to a press release by the show's broadcaster SBS on Tuesday.

"I really hate being called pretty," said the singer on the show, revealing a painful incident during his childhood related to his feminine look. "Even now when people tell me I am pretty, it feels like an insult to me."

Determined to prove that he is more than just a pretty face, the young star made various facial expressions during the taping that drew a big laughter from the crowd.

Nichkhun, whose full name is Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul, is a Thai-American singer who was discovered by a JYPE talent agent in Hollywood. He moved to Korea and joined 2PM which has become one of the most popular idol groups in Asia since their debut in September 2008.

The "Steel Heart" episode featuring Nichkhun and his bandmate Junsu airs tonight on SBS.

Nichkhun of Korean idol group 2PM has denied rumors that he will be appearing on MBC variety show "We Got Married", according to agency JYP Entertainment (JYPE).


JYPE said in a phone call with Asia Economic Daily on Thursday that reports of the pop idol appearing in the popular show -- where celebrities play make-believe couples -- were "not true."


"It is true that we discussed with the show's producers about Nichkhun appearing in 'Married' in January," an official at JYPE explained. "But nothing has been set. From what I know, producers have also contacted other celebrities."


The official added, however, that they are "still in talks" regarding the singer's casting and that they will have to "wait and see".


Recent reports claimed that Nichkhun and Eunjung of girl band T-ara will be joining the cast for "Married", but both parties have denied the news.

Members of Korean idol group 2PM [Asia Economic Daily]

Members of Korean idol group 2PM will meet with their fans this weekend to talk about the group's former leader Park Jae-beom's departure, according to their agency JYP Entertainment (JYPE).

"All members of 2PM, except for Park, will hold a meeting with fans on February 27," JYPE announced on the group's official fan cafe on Sunday.

The six members are expected to talk directly with fans about various issues including Park's leave from the group as well as rumors surrounding the incident.

The time and place for the gathering have yet to be decided and it is unlikely the event will be open to the press.

Former leader Park quit 2PM in September 2009 and left Korea after sparking national controversy over what he had written on his MySpace page several years ago became public.

His comments -- including "I hate Korea" -- created an uproar around the country, particularly among Internet users, leading to his decision to leave the group and return to his hometown Seattle.
