[News] 2PM's Wooyoung and Park Se Young wrap up their outdoor adventure on 'We Got Married'
2PM's Wooyoung and Park Se Young wrapped up their outdoor adventure on the August 30th installment of 'We Got Married'.
The couple went parachuting, which was less scary than they had anticipated. Up in the air, Park Se Young told Wooyoung, "I wish you were next to me," and he responded, "I love you!" The couple then spent the last of their mission money on a small cabin and hung out at a nearby river that they found to be a little too cold.
The two ended the night with some ramen, and Park Se Young gave Wooyoung a refreshing splash with cold water. Wooyoung joked, "Let's go sleep. Let's spend a hot night together!"

[News] 2PM's Taecyeon comments on Nichkhun and Tiffany's relationship on 'Entertainment Relay'
2PM's Taecyeon commented on Nichkhun and Tiffany's relationship, his own dating style, and more on the August 30 edition of KBS 2TV's 'Entertainment Relay'!
On the subject of acting out a romance, reporter Rainbow's Jisook asked, "Among the members, Nichkhun is in a love-love relationship and who else?," which didn't fluster Taecyeon who pretended not to hear the question correctly. She asked, "Aren't you jealous?", and Taecyeon shared, "To be honest, I don't think there's much to be jealous about. Even if you go public [with a relationship], they're all busy so I know that they can't meet often." When asked about his own dating style, Taecyeon commented, "I don't know because I'm an idol. [All jokes aside], I think [my dating style] always changes, depending on the person."
During the quiz segment, when asked, "If you had to choose only one member to go on a vacation with, who would you go with?", Taecyeon answered, "I won't go! I won't go with 2PM!", but revealed that if he absolutely had to pick, he would go with Chansung. He explained, "If I go with Jun.K, I feel like I will have to take care of him. If I go with Nichkhun, he will attract a large crowd of people. In Wooyoung's case, he is studying English so I feel like he would ask me too many questions on English. Junho loves Korean food so if he goes overseas, he always has to eat Korean food so the only person left is Chansung."
When asked who he'd like to collaborate with, Taecyeon also chose Uhm Jung Hwa and Kim Wan Sun. In response to the question, "What will 2PM be like in ten years?", Taecyeon answered, "In ten years, 2PM will be old. I don't think we will be able to perform powerful dance moves like we can now so if we do our best until then, we might become a ballad group [later on]. We will work hard to practice our singing."

[News] 2PM's Nichkhun Passes On Ice Bucket Challenge, Opts To Donate
While a lot of people are having fun raising awarenss for ALS with the Ice Bucket Challenge, 2PM's Nichkhun has a lot to say on the matter.
Many idols have jumped on the bandwagon of the Challenge to pour ice/ice water on themselves and pay-it-forward by tagging other people. The challenge is supposed to lead to people either donating $10 to an ALS charity if they fulfill the challenge within 24 hours, or donating $100 if they don't.
However, Nichkhun decided that the use of water for the Ice Bucket Challenge doesn't send a good message.
On August 21, Nichkhun tweeted, "It's important to save lives but it's also important to save water. Sorry to disappoint you all. I will donate for a good cause instead."
Many people in the world lack access to safe and clean water, and droughts affect even the wealthiest of countries. Nichkhun has seen firsthand how people all over the world need more water, and perhaps is trying to raise more awareness for the need for more funds for clean water around the world.
In 2013, Nichkhun became an ambassador for Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA,) and participated in a volunteer trip to Tanzania where he and several other idols helped repair buildings and gave out food and water.
ALS, formally amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Hegrig's Disease, affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal chord, which leads to loss of motor skills and eventual death. The New York Times reported that the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge this summer funded over $41 million of donations to ALS foundations all over the world, and has helped raise awareness for a disease that most people do not come in contact with on a regular basis.
Nichkhun does not say what organization he is donating to, but even if he didn't join in the challenge it is nice to see another idol donating to a good cause.
