One of the writers for "Wild Bunny", the reality show starring the boys of 2PM, recently posted some words of encouragement to 2PM's beastly rapper, Taecyeon. Plus, a look at Taecyeon's performances of "내 귀에 캔디 (My Ear's Candy)" since the departure of Jaebum.

After having to endure the departure of his fellow 2PM member and leader, Taecyeon has been continuing his solo activities with Baek Ji Young; promoting "내 귀에 캔디 (My Ear's Candy)" as well as continuing his MC duties on Inkigayo.

A writer for "Wild Bunny", 2PM's reality show on M.Net, wrote on her CyWorld today a message to Taecyeon. She states:

"After I read that you guys will continue your individual activities
I watched Music Bank at home...
It hurt me seeing you like that
Where was the person who always laughed and was full of energy
I keep thinking about you saying that it's hard...
I was going to see you at M. Countdown but I thought it would be harder for you
So I pushed it back... But it was really sad seeing you at Music Bank
You were always by Jaebum's side laughing and playing
When Jaebum didn't understand Korean you translated so that he would easily understand
Mature Taecyeon...
I told you... Even though it will be hard let's believe time will make things better
If you guys are like that it will be even harder for Jaebum
It's tough but we need to fight it right?
Even though it's tough you can't say it's tough
But that is society and the reality so what can we do...
Let's wait until Jaebum comes back
For Jaebum... Be strong...
I want to see you guys smiling soon again."

It must be extremely difficult for Taecyeon to perform on stage and continue his activities. Like the writer mentions, his recent performances with Baek Ji Young have been rather sad to watch. No longer do we see him smiling throughout the performance and enjoying himself on stage. His dancing has also lost its passion and the charisma it used to have. His voice sounds like a combination of being tired and his emotions taking over. Take a look at the performances below (thanks to ahhyala for the tip).

Before Jaebum's departure:



After Jaebum's departure:



There are quite a lot of noticable changes in Taecyeon's performance. Besides the loss of his smile, he doesn't rip off his sunglasses in a beastly manner and he also doesn't have that huge grin at the end of the performance when his lips and Baek Ji Young's lips are dangerously close. It must also be hard on Baek Ji Young to see Taecyeon like this. You can see her trying her hardest to at least get Taecyeon to smile throughout her performance but it's no use.

It pains me so much to see Taecyeon like this. Hopefully he will get a break soon just to cope with this loss. Like what the 'Wild Bunny' writer said, stay strong Taecyeon and we wish to see your lovely smile again sometime soon.
