2PM’s Taecyeon Recounts The Time Junho Broke His Arm
2PM‘s Taecyeon (also known as Ok Taecyeon) and Junho (also known as Lee Jun Ho) are currently two of the hottest K-Drama actors.
The fellow 2PM members are currently both starring in their own K-Dramas. Taecyeon is a half-man, half-vampire in the ironically named Heartbeat, while Junho is the handsome chaebol in King the Land.
Promoting his new K-Drama, Taecyeon recently guested on DIVE Studios‘ Daebak Show w/ Eric Nam. Host Eric Nam asked him to fact-check a few stories, including one about Taecyeon taking a test while dressed in a stage costume.
There was even photographic evidence, but Taecyeon also appeared to have a broken arm at the time. So, he revealed the story behind the injury.
Long story short… I’m a righty, and the left one’s broken because… We were in Japan. 2PM were doing some promotion for this song called ‘Beautiful,’ and we had like 10-minute break while we had to shoot a stage like record a stage. And we’re just like fooling around as like all the time … We started arm wrestling.

While 2PM was promoting “Beautiful” in Japan, the members took a break and decided to arm wrestle. Junho and Taecyeon went up against each other, but Junho pointed out that while Taecyeon is a righty, he is a lefty. So, Taecyeon decided he’d just compete with his left hand, which was a mistake…
Junho was like, ‘Hyung, but I’m a lefty.’ Okay, let’s do left one!

Taecyeon demonstrated the accident. He jokingly compared it to a scene from the 1987 American sports drama film, Over the Top, starring Sylvester Stallone.
You know how like the guy breaks the other guy’s arm off? Almost like that.
— Taecyeon
Junho and Taecyeon’s “fun” arm-wrestling match resulted in Taecyeon actually having to have surgery for the broken arm! Now, Taecyeon is an advocate against arm-wrestling.
So, I always tell, like many, many young kids, to not arm-wrestle. It’s a dangerous sport!
