2PM’s Taecyeon Says He Would Date Gui Gui in Real Life

2PM’s Taecyeon Says He Would Date Gui Gui in Real Life

On the upcoming May 12 episode of ”We Got Married Global Edition,” 2PM‘s Taecyeon reveals that he would be interested in dating Gui Gui in real life.

For this particular episode, Taecyeon’s buddies ZE:A‘s Kwanghee, 2AM‘s Seulong and MBLAQ‘s G.O came to visit the couple. When G.O asked the couple, “Currently you’re pretending to be married, but would you guys want to date each other in real life?” the couple gave divided answers. Taecyeon replied, “Yes,” while Gui Gui said, “No.” This caused the atmosphere to become more than a little awkward for everyone.

Gui Gui later revealed on the show, “I had no idea that Taecyeon would say yes. I thought he would say no since we come from different cultures and our lifestyles are so different, but today was the first time I saw him look disappointed.”

When Taecyeon was interviewed, he said, “I thought we were making new memories and having a great time together, but I think Gui Gui sees it all ending soon. I don’t really know what I’m supposed to do if Gui Gui thinks our current relationship cannot develop any further beyond this point…”

“We Got Married Global Edition” is an international version of the original “We Got Married” series where international male and female stars pretend to live the married life and learn more about each other’s respective cultures. For the global edition, 2PM’s Taecyeon is Taiwanese idol Gui Gui’s husband and actress Fujii Mina is FT Island member Lee Hong Ki‘s wife.

“A” Drops Sexual Assault Charge Against Park Shi Hoo; Park Shi Hoo Also Drops Charges

[Updated] “A” Drops Sexual Assault Charge Against Park Shi Hoo; Park Shi Hoo Also Drops Charges

The Seoul Western District Police Department has announced on May 10 (KST) that “A” has dropped the rape charge against Park Shi Hoo. She officially dropped the charges against Park Shi Hoo and “K” on May 9. The Seoul police department and public prosecution office will not pursue the case, with the charges being dropped by the alleged victim. This ends the sexual assault case against Park Shi Hoo.

Park Shi Hoo’s troubles started on February 18 when “A” claimed that Park Shi Hoo sexually assaulted her after a night of drinking on February 14. Park Shi Hoo admitted to having sexual relations with “A” but denied the charge of rape. It is yet unclear why “A” dropped the charges.

It has also been revealed that Park Shi Hoo also dropped his charges against “A” on May 9, the same day she dropped the sexual assault charge against him. It was first announced in March that Park Shi Hoo had countersued “A”, her friend “B,” and his former agency’s CEO for false charges and slander. While he has dropped the charges against “A”, Park Shi Hoo has yet to drop the case against “B” and his former agency’s CEO.

Assistant public prosecutor general Yoon Ong Gul stated in a press conference on May 10 that he does not know why both sides decided to drop the charges. He added, “It was known that “A” wanted to pursue punishment for Park Shi Hoo right until she submitted the “canceling charges” paper. There is no way to confirm what conversation went on between the parties at the very end.”
