Han Geng Accepted An InterviewWhen I saw Han Geng, both of us embraced in a big hug, during this sensitive time when his contract lawsuit has still not been settled, we both were appreciative of each other’s understanding. We also reminisced about the scene four years ago when I interviewed him when he had just returned to China, it was the same as it was today as well with him facing the questions by himself, even though the circumstances now are very different, but he is still that Han Geng who is hardworking and always improving himself, while I am still that Sohu Dapeng who abandons all resistance before him. This part will probably make him fairly embarrassed, my so-called “abandoning all resistance”, is firmly rejecting any assistance from the stylist, because no matter how they make me handsome, before Han Geng it will be comparatively very ugly, so doing his interview really is a difficult matter, but when I see him sitting across from me with confidence in me and unguarded li

According to the non-scripted reality show "2AM Day," Changmin's childhood pictures were brought to attention. Through the 10 days of the shows filming, Changmin showed a rare video of himself in a singing competition. This picture shows Changmin as a 4th grade elementary student singing solo at an open performance in Canada, which is quite different from his present image. The physique he has now as a 2AM member could be seen as laughably incongruent with the soulful vocals he has had since his childhood.Along with Changmin's childhood, the show will also reveal behind the scenes of their MV, the truth about life living in the 2AM dorms, ect, and capture the attention of the fans."Watching the footage, you can easily tell none these cameras were staged," the head PD said. "The comfortable way the members interact, it will be clear to everyone that this isn't another scripted reality show!"Source: Nate NewsTranslation by Kang Hyeo Rin @ Omonatheydidnt!
