Many Kpop idol groups have had to deal with keeping their bodies fit and eating a strict diet to maintain their image. The South Korean boy band 2PM has also done the same, however, members would splurge on food during diet cheat days, according to Taecyeon.
The 2PM group member revealed the Kpop idol group's eating habits during his guest appearance in the JTBC show "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator." Aired on Oct. 3, Monday, Taecyeon recounted a time where he and his fellow band members enjoyed an expensive Korean pork barbeque meal.
Taecyeon commented that he and three other 2PM group members consumed $1,000 worth of Korean barbeque in just one sitting. The South Korean boy band considered the said pork barbeque feast as a food treat for themselves given their grueling and constant workout sessions at the gym.
South Korean singer Ga In, who also appeared as a guest on the same show, even confessed to having witnessed Taecyeon and his fellow band member's voracious appetite. A huge meal that consisted of 100 lamb skewers was an easy eating feat for 2PM. Taecyeon even ate nearly half of the said meal with his 40 lamb skewers consumption, according to Ga In.
In other news, 2PM dropped its latest album titled "Gentleman's Game" on Sept. 13, Tuesday. Out of the album's 11 tracks, seven were written and composed by the band's group members, Xports News reported.
