Ok Taecyeon could not take part in the second episode of 2PM members’ cooking broadcast. Jang Wooyoung and Nichkhun brought a white paperboard with a drawing of Taecyeon’s face to make up for his absence.

The duo exchanged small talk and banters about what each of them did over the week.

Wooyoung said he had just visited a movie press preview involving fellow 2PM member Junho on Tuesday.

Junho plays a supporting role in the martial arts film “Memories of the Sword,” which was released Thursday.

“I meant to go too, but an important schedule came up,” said Nichkhun.

The two cooked macaroni and cheese, an American dish whose name indicates its recipe.

Ingredients laid out on the table included various kinds of cheese; beyond the usual cheddar and stretching onto Greek cheese and gorgonzola.

“The hottest Cheongdam-dong brunch cafe’s chef will join us today to help us in cooking,” said Wooyoung.

Professional chef Lee Eui-chan from high-end brunch cafe The Street joined the table to oversee the K-pop stars’ cooking.

The Street is located in Gangnam and Itaewon in Seoul. The Gangnam branch is rumored to be an unofficial meeting location for JYP family.

Wooyoung & Nichkhun’s Recipe (or more like chef Lee Eui-chan’s):

1) Grill the bacon.
2) Add garlic and onion in pan.
3) Add a pinch of pepper and stir.
4) Add macaroni.
5) Add cheese and stir.

Wooyoung did not know what a “pinch” in cooking meant, and peeked at Nichkhun adding small amounts of pepper with his thumb and index finger.

“Last time we cooked mac and cheese, it felt ready-made,” said Wooyoung.

“It was readymade,” replied Nichkhun.

Nichkhun’s mac and cheese used American-style cheddar cheese, while Wooyoung’s opted for gorgonzola cheese.

“I tried to make cream pasta once, I bought the cream and let it sit in the fridge for a week and it went bad before I even got around to cooking … ” said Wooyoung.

“But this is very easy to make, all of you who are watching should take notes as this is a recipe coming straight from a chef,” he said.

Nichkhun chimed in, “This is daily food. You can cook it at home anytime.”

After much stirring the two put the mac and cheese in soup bowls, and topped it with more cheese.

Wooyoung’s macaroni and gorgonzola cheese was draped with honey and more gorgonzola, while Nichkhun’s added extra cheddar and parmesan cheese.

A pinch of parsley completed the dish.

As Wooyoung added a pinch of parsley, Nichkhun jokingly pinched Wooyoung in the arm saying, “This is also pinch!”

Wooyoung jokingly yelled back, “You, pinch!” to which both laughed.

When they got around to tasting, they both agreed they preferred Wooyoung’s gorgonzola cheese macaroni.

“The gorgonzola dish is more flavorful, while the cheddar is more light and easy on the tongue,” said the two.

Wooyoung and Nichkhun promised they would make longtime Korean rice roll, gimbap, in their next broadcast.



<AOA HyeJeong Fox’s Secret #2>

AOA’s Hyejeong introduced the ‘fox’ girls’ workout outfit.

“Jung Yong-hwa sunbae (experienced senior) once said that outfit styling is important when working out. It’s even more so for girls,” she said.

She broadcast the program from FNC Entertainment’s fitting room, where she kept stacks of fitness clothes.

“I think it’s most important to wear comfortable clothes, like short pants or sleeveless tops!”

She then picked up an item, and as she tried to show it to the audience she pressed a wrong button and temporarily lost connection.

Real-time comments from agitated fans flooded the program asking her to come back.

She did come back, normalizing the program operation.

Hyejeong then changed into two different sporty outfits to demonstrate a ‘fox’ girls’ workout look.

She set the stopwatch to 2 minutes and went inside the dressing room to change, saying if she fails to change within the time limit she will sing the “Hyejeong song” for fans.

“It’s too easy! I had so much time now. I thought two minutes was too short, but short pants and a tee shirt is easy to change into!” said an exhilarated Hyejeong.

“I’ll try a leggings perhaps this time. That should be more challenging.”

She shortened the time to a minute and a half but again completed the mission in time.

She still sang the Hyejeong song anyway for fans.

She also danced parts of the choreography from AOA’s latest hit song “Heart Attack.”

“If you put more effort into styling your outfit, you can be a prettier fox,” she said.

“This was my first live broadcast and I made a mistake, but you’ll look at it kindly, won’t you?”

“That’s all for my broadcast today, see you again next week at this time. Good-night!” said Hyejeong as she bid adieu.

She then had trouble shutting down the program, for which the fans were beside themselves over her cuteness.



<VIXX, we want to know>

“Is it working? Are we on?” asked N five times in front of the camera before finally backing away and finding his seat at the table.

“It’s been a long time since all six of us are here for this live broadcast today,” said the VIXX members, giving a warm hello to fans.

The members took turns introducing themselves in five Korean syllables.

“I am Ravi,” “I’m Ravi’s friend,” “Youngest is best,” “Ken is better,” “N is the bestest,” said Ravi, Hongbin, Hyuk, Ken and N.

Leo finished off with “What are we doing?”

“Today we’re disclosing everything secret about VIXX. You can ask us anything you want to know about us,” said Ravi.

“There is a basket containing each VIXX member’s secret. We wrote them onto pieces of paper and put it in a basket,” said N.

“But before that, I want to read the comments,” said Ravi, coming close to the camera.

“Ravi oppa, annyeong,” “N oppa, why is your face so white?” “Ravi so cute,” “Ken, Ravi, please make hearts with your hands,” “Wow it’s like having you right in front my eyes,” Ravi read the comments out loud.

The members then got around to randomly picking secrets out of the basket and unfolding them.

“Hyuk is a fool,” read the first paper opened by Leo.

“It’s a compliment, it means Hyuk always laughs without a worry and dark thoughts,” explained the members. “Leo hyung wrote this didn’t he?”

Next one opened by Ravi read, “N keeps watching home-shopping channels,” he broke into a laugh.

Home-shopping channels are mostly watched by middle-aged women.

N hastily explained that he was flipping through channels and stopped midway due to a sudden phone call he received.

“And then there was a time when a lady was selling hair irons on the shopping channel and her hair was like a lioness’ mane. It was so funny I stayed tuned and watched,” N said.

"But that was it. I don't buy from home-shopping channels."

N opened a secret and read, “Ken is a yo-gang.”

Ken broke out in complaints, “Read it correctly! It says yo-jeong (‘fairy’ in Korean).”

“I never told you, but I have wings!” said Ken, coming near the camera.

“Fairy, show us what you can do,” called out the members.

Ken made cute faces for the camera and flapped his arms.

“He is a yo-gang,” decided the members.

Ken unwrapped a paper and read, “I have seen all, baby cries, ha ha.”

Hongbin confessed he had been reading the comment threads before the broadcast began and saw the fans plotting to write baby sob sounds.

Hongbin then read, “Ravi can shower in the time I change pants.”

“There was a time I saw you go into the shower as I was taking off my pants to change. I picked up a fresh pair of pants and put them on and you came out, already done showering,” continued Hongbin.

Ravi explained, “It wasn’t a shower, I only splashed water on myself to cool down. I don’t consider that a shower.”

More unknown facts regarding VIXX members were revealed.

Youngest member Hyuk, for instance, always carries cotton swabs in his back pocket to wipe his eyes after he puts stage makeup on.

Hongbin wears plasters over his ankles because he hurt them playing basketball.

The time allotted for VIXX flew by as the members discussed each other’s eccentric habits.

In wrapping up the program, N urged the fans to listen to his 2 a.m. radio show on SBS.

Ravi promoted his upcoming EP with VIXX member Leo, slated to release Aug. 17.

The members promised they would prepare a special goodbye line for their V app broadcast from next episode.
