2PM’s Taecyeon recently made fans laugh with his reaction to a question about his bandmate Junho and Girls’ Generation’s YoonA. The moment happened during a promotional event for his new drama The First Night With The Duke, where he stars alongside Girls’ Generation’s Seohyun.
The viral clip shows Taecyeon and Seohyun being asked if their on-screen pairing is better than Junho and YoonA’s chemistry in King The Land. Taecyeon froze for a moment, making Seohyun laugh as she told him to think carefully before answering. Fans online joked that his hesitation might be because of past dating rumors involving YoonA and Junho.
“When Seohyun told Taecyeon to think carefully, she was shocked that he couldn’t think of an answer, hoping he would say it was their pairing that was better before they started laughing.”
