Nichkhun’s face doesn’t match his body

Twenty-two year old Nichkhun ‘Buck” Horvejkul from the Korean boyband 2pm shows off his muscular bod for Men’s Health Korea  upcoming March 2011 issue and there is a part of me that wanted to laugh because his pretty boy face doesn’t match his bodybuilder body. Nichkhun’s face is so ‘narak (cute)’ like a baby, like you wanna pinch his little cheeks and make him giggle for no reason. Then he takes off his shirt and you become overwhelm by his manly ‘big’ muscles, it throws you off–from a cute little baby kitten to a big lion. It doesn’t work for me. I miss the old, lanky, and skinny Nichkhun.

On his twitter account, Nichkhun told his fans to enjoy it because he worked really hard for it.

“Check out next month’s issue of Men’s Health!!! I worked really hard for it so ENJOY~ = b”

Nichkhun’s fangirls sent out praises for his muscle man transformation. Oh good lord.

“His face is good looking, his bod is kick ass, why is he so perfect like this na?” Wrote one Nichkhun fangirl.

Which Korean Star was vacationing in Phuket?

The picture isn’t clear but you can make him out. He’s one of my favorite Korean actors. The last k-drama he was in, he played a pop idol. He spent almost a week in Thailand from July 27-31 at the luxury hotel Sri Panwa in Phuket.

Chat and Ryan laughing about Finance

Pictures of Ryan (from the boyband Paran, real name: Joo Jong Hyuk) and Thai actress Chat Priayachat for their scenes in the Modern 9 upcoming Thai-Korean lakorn fusion: “Tai Fah Tawan Diew (Under the same Heaven or Autumn Destiny)”, airing this Saturday, January 16.

I find both of them very cute, but the thing that strikes me as odd is that they laughing while reading a Finance textbook. What does that say? Foundations of Multinational Financial Management. It would have been less odd if the film crew gave them something lighter to laugh about…like a Garfield comic strip book, that would have been better. Yes, do have a good laugh while reading a complicated college Finance textbook. Oh it’s all so funny.

In the lakorn, Chat is Wendy, she met her first love Park Jung-Min (Ryan) while studying in America. He wants to marry her, but unfortunately for Jung-Min and Wendy, her family  disapproves because they hate Koreans. The hidden back-story on Wendy’s life is that she is really half Korean/Thai. Her Korean father abandoned her mother when she was pregnant with Wendy and that is the reason why her mother and her mother’s relatives hate Koreans. Seriously,  that makes no sense, hate the whole male Korean population because one Korean man did you wrong. Oy.

Nichkhun is getting paid!

For being the face of Suzuki Thailand Jelato motorcycles. It’s rumored his endorsement deal is worth more than 10 million baht ($294,000 USD). Considering this is Thailand, that’s a whole lot pad-thais.

For this product, Suzuki was targeting the consumer youth population of Thailand. Nichkhun with his popularity, pretty face, and clean image  was lured in with a whole lot of cash to represent Jelato motorcycles.

I should correct the previous statement. Lets be honest, Jelato motorcycles are for young Thai girls.  Girls love Nichkhun. Get the connection? I don’t think any adolescent guy would want to ride a Jelato motorcycle. Its design inspiration is from an ice cream. It comes in bright red, pink, and happy baby blue.

Nichkhun was asked about the amount of his endorsement deal with Suzuki. Playfully he said he didn’t know.

“Why do you enjoy asking me this question (laughs). Really, I don’t know because this manner involves my manger in Korea and my manger in Thailand, they handle the negotiations. I have not gotten the money, so I don’t know how much my payment was.”

Nichkhun’s Cf for the Jelato motorcycle.

Yes, it is kinda weird writing an upbeat post about Nichkhun when Jaybeom has left 2PM over some nonsense scandal.  Korean netizens are ruthless.

Prem knows Nichkhun

EW! This is just so wrong in so many levels! Ew…..Nickhun officially has a gay rumor with Prem Busarakamwong, Tata Young’s ex-fiance. Why is this guy all over the place, he needs to go back to where ever he came from because he is downright obnoxious with a capital O. He’s just famous for dating Tata Young, the guy has no talents, did ya see him in “Before Valentine”? Need I say more. I hate talentless people famous for doing nothing.

The media hates Prem, its quite obvious by the constant negative coverage on him. He’s either a playboy, a 3 third hand in someone’s relationship, and of course the gays rumors are routine. If you’re a guy celebrity, it is best  to stay away from Prem or else you’ll be tag for being gay. Seriously, it’s that bad.

Prem is annoyed by it. “Alright krap, I have accepted it, I can’t say anything. If I say too much, you’ll say I’m making excuses. With men, you say I’m gay or a tootsie. With women, I’m a 3rd hand and things of that nature.”

Prem can’t deny he took Nichkhun to a pub BUT they went in a group. “We went, we went as a group, there were 5-6 of us. He had just finish filming for TAT (The Tourism Authority of Thailand) and he wanted to go out, so we went. The next day, he had to fly back (to Korea).”–Innocent enough.

The reporters probe on, “how do you know each other?”

Prem:”I got to know him from a concert, the Wondergirls and 2pm concert. I helped arrange it. He has been here several times and we know each other….nevertheless, if I’m with a girl, you say something, if I’m with a guy, you say something also.”

Reporters:”Did you do anything to make people be suspicious?”

Prem:”There is nothing krap, I didn’t do anything suspicious. At 1am, we went back and the people who introduced me to Nichkhun are workers from his company, they said he wanted to go out, so I said okay, we went, that’s all.”

You can listen to the interview here.

Prem is dressing like a pirate because he is part of a fashion show, an event called Chonburi Pet Lovers, or something like that.

Do I believe the rumors? With Nichkhun, it’s very unlikely since he is well-guarded by JYP road managers and he knows he is being watch. In both Korea and Thailand, he knows he is being followed by crazy fangirls and the  media, I doubt he would do anything stupid. They went to the pub; however, I don’t think they did anything ‘suspicious’ whatever that means.

As for Prem, I don’t care whether he is or not. I just can’t stand the guy.

Just like Nichkhun

“Oh” Pakjira Wanasut, our beloved and humorous nang’rai of Ch3 wants her first born son to come out looking like Nichkhun Horvejkul of the Korean boyband 2PM. Oh, who married her long time love “Fiat” Matukorn Potwangot roughly 2 months ago, is trying to conceive. There is a rumor floating around they will try to conceive while in Europe for their honeymoon.  Where ever the location, it would be great for Oh and her hubby Fait,  if their first born son came out looking like Nichkhun.

A clip of Oh talking about the subject:

Oh laughing, “I want my heir to come out looking like Nichkhun.”

Reporter: “So you like him?”

Oh:”We both like him. That day I was watching Nichkhun do an interview, he came off as very adorable, he is a good looking guy, and also came off as very intelligent. Fiat likes him more than I do. If our child came out looking like Nichkhun, he said he would like it. He even prayed like this…let our child look like Nichkhun.”

Nichkhun is currently in Thailand for the launching of his commercial for TAT (Tourism Authority of Thailand). He’ll be in Thailand until August 3rd.
