A farm in Hokkaido! I want to go when I have time.

Ilsan Lake Park. It has spots with flowers that really bloom beautifully.
Q8. What type of girl do you like?
Someone smart and polite; a person who knows how to love others and understands romance.
Q9. What kind of training exercise do you recommend?
Training exercise... that's difficult. Something like sit-ups, maybe. It's the most basic training technique.

L'Arc-en-Ciel-san. My favourite song is "Driver's High".

No one. I like myself. (laughs)
Q13. What are you looking forward to in the national Japan tour?
We're going through five areas in Japan, and I'm curious to know whether there'll be a difference in fan response amongst the various regions. When we go to the countryside in Korea, the fans we don't see often get really pumped for us.
Q14. Which one of your scenes do you want us to watch in the concert DVD "2PM 1st Concert in Seoul 'Don't Stop Can't Stop'" released in April?
Rather than focusing on my own scenes, because it's our first standalone concert in Seoul, we had a lot of fun, so I think the highlight of the DVD is the way all of us became one.
~*JUNSU*~
"I love ddeokbokki! In Japan, it's ootoro (laughs)"
Q1. What's your name?
Junsu
Q2. When were you born?
15 January, 1988

Q5. What's your favourite fashion style?
Mufflers, scarves, hats...... I like fashion that go well with accessories.
Q6. Where would you like to go in Japan?
I want to go shopping in Shibuya! I also want to visit Ginza, because I haven't been there yet.....
Q7. What place in Korea would you recommend?
Shinsadong in Gangnam district. The place has many fancy restaurants and cafes, so I often go there to drink coffee.
Q8. What type of girl do you like?
A person with a charming smile, a person with pretty eyes, or someone who is strongly self-assured.
Q9. What kind of training exercise do you recommend?
First, sit-ups. And for myself, I drink a cup of black coffee before running on the treadmill. This is apparently good for metabolism. I think anyone can do training of this level, right?

JUJU-san and Chemistry-san. I heard JUJU-san's song at the "Mezamashi Super Live" in Okinawa for the first time and thought she was really good at singing.
Q11. What's your favourite 2PM song?
"Gimme the light" ☆Recorded in "All About 2PM"
Q12. If you could switch bodies with any member in the group, who would you switch with?
Nichkhun! Why? Because he's cool. And handsome, don't you think?
Q13. What are you looking forward to in the national Japan tour?
Meeting lots of people! We're basically looking forward to what kind of concert it'll turn out to be.
Q14. Which one of your scenes do you want us to watch in the concert DVD "2PM 1st Concert in Seoul 'Don't Stop Can't Stop'" released in April?
I'm in there fully enjoying the performances on stage from the bottom of my heart, so I think you'll see our true faces inside. I've also put a lot of emotion into my singing, so please listen carefully to the songs.
~*CHANSUNG*~
"I want to go to Hokkaido and see glaciers!"
Q1. What's your name?
Chansung
Q2. When were you born?
11 February, 1990
Q3. What's your bloodtype?
Bloodtype B
Q4. What's your favourite food?
For Japanese food, it's definitely sushi and ramen. If it's Korean food, normal homecooking like doenjang and kimchi.
Q5. What's your favourite fashion style?
I like outerwear, like coats or jackets. That's why I put more effort into my fashion in the winter.
Q6. Where would you like to go in Japan?
I want to go to Hokkaido and see glaciers. The cold? Yeah, I'm strong against that. If I had to choose, I'm not good with the heat. (laughs)
Q7. What place in Korea would you recommend?
Yangdong Folk Village. Noble families stayed in this village in the old Chosun Dynasty of the Lee clan. It's a little far from Seoul, so I don't think Japanese people go there often, but it's a quiet, pretty village.
Q8. What type of girl do you like?
A person with pretty eyes or someone with fierce eyes.
Q9. What kind of training exercise do you recommend?
I'm not familiar with exercise for women, but I think your legs can increase in bulk just by doing aerobic exercises, so.... I believe you should work on your upper body and lower body separately. Also, you won't see results if you don't keep it up for 3 months, so you have to keep training without giving up!
Q10. Who's your favourite artiste in Japan?
Chemistry-san! Because they're good at singing.
Q11. What's your favourite 2PM song?
"I Was Crazy About You" ☆Recorded in "01:59PM~JAPAN SPECIAL EDITION~"
Q12. If you could switch bodies with any member in the group, who would you switch with?
Wooyoung, I guess. He's funny, good-humoured, and the group's moodmaker.
Q13. What are you looking forward to in the national Japan tour?
The venues are all live houses, so I can't wait to show the real 2PM.
Q14. Which one of your scenes do you want us to watch in the concert DVD "2PM 1st Concert in Seoul 'Don't Stop Can't Stop'" released in April?
Our performances are really passionate and powerful. In addition, the emotion we put into each song is different, so if you watch the entire DVD at one go, you might find it interesting how our singing style changes with the song.

Q1. What's your name?

Q13. What are you looking forward to in the national Japan tour?
I'm glad to be able to meet all the Japanese fans across the nation, and I'm looking forward to having everyone watch our concert.
Q14. Which one of your scenes do you want us to watch in the concert DVD "2PM 1st Concert in Seoul 'Don't Stop Can't Stop'" released in April?
The 3rd song "Don't Stop Can't Stop". I think it's a song that conveys the strong and energetic vibe of 2PM, so I hope everyone can feel our power!

First, I'm glad that we can perform across the country. Also, the venue Zepp is a place where we can perform close to our audience, so I can't wait to rock the house with everyone.
Q14. Which one of your scenes do you want us to watch in the concert DVD "2PM 1st Concert in Seoul 'Don't Stop Can't Stop'" released in April?
The opening. We had to appear on stage with bikes, but we were really worried about what would happen if we had an accident before the concert and whether we looked cool or not. But when we gave it a shot, the response from the audience was fantastic, so it's also our favourite scene.
