The members of 2PM discussed their income distribution on an episode of Mnet’s “Beatles Code.”
They stated, “We discussed the distribution and settled on it together. Profits made from CFs are divided fairly amongst each member, even if it’s in an individual CF.”
However, for drama appearances, they revealed, “If Taecyeon appears in a drama alone, he gets all of the income from that for himself.”
“At one point, Nichkhun and Taecyeon were against the distribution, but later agreed that since we’re all working under the name of 2PM anyway, it’s best for us to share everything.”
The episode will broadcast on November 11th.

[News] CNN writes about Nichkhun and his journey from a shy boy in Thailand to K-pop star
Source: allkpop
CNN’s International website CNNGO put up a nice article earlier today about 2PM member Nichkhun and his journey / transformation from growing up in Thailand as a shy boy into a bona fide K-pop superstar.
Check out the article below:
When Thai-American youngster Nichkhun was approached by talent scouts asking if he wanted a shot at pop superstardom, he didn’t hesitate for a second.
“I was like, no!” he says. “I don’t even know who you guys are, you know? I didn’t know how to sing or dance. I was just like some shy little boy, so I was like, no way I’m doing this!”
Fortunately for K-Pop fans, the scouts, from legendary South Korean pop producer Jin-young Park’s company JYP Entertainment, persisted. Following a string of phone calls, a ramshackle audition took place outside a Starbucks in Los Angeles, where they had all been attending a South Korean cultural festival.
“They were like, sing something! So I sang something, and it was bad, and they were like, OK, this is not going to work. About three weeks later they called me back and said, ‘We’d like you to come to Korea and start training.’”
But Nichkhun’s unorthodox recruitment is far from the only thing setting this young pop sensation apart. In South Korea’s distinctly homogeneous entertainment industry, Nichkhun is that rarest of things: a foreigner.
