2AM’s Jeong Jinwoon Recalls Drinking 11 Bottles of Soju with 2PM’s Ok Taec-yeon

On May 24, Kim Jae-joong’s YouTube show “Jaefriends” welcomed all four members of the beloved K-pop vocal group 2AM: Jokwon, Lim Seul-ong, Jeong Jinwoon, and Lee Chang-min.

In the episode, Jeong Jinwoon looked back on a memorable episode from his early idol days, sharing a humorous yet astonishing anecdote involving his labelmate Ok Taec-yeon from 2PM. “Back in the old days, remember how restaurants used to serve raw carrot and cucumber as side dishes?” Jinwoon began. “Well, one time I went out drinking with Taec-yeon, and we ended up drinking 11 bottles of soju. Just the two of us — with only raw carrots as snacks!”

This shocking revelation sparked a wave of reactions and laughter on the set. Lim Seul-ong jumped in with his own memory, turning to Kim Jae-joong and saying, “When I first met you, hyung, you were drunk.”

Kim Jae-joong quipped back, “Why’d you come when I was drunk? That’s on you.” Laughter filled the room as he added, “You’re meant to leave around the time you start to get tipsy — why would you show up then?”

Adding fuel to the fire, Lim continued, “Once Kim Jae-joong got drunk, he would repeat the same thing over and over again for like an hour.”

This episode of “Jaefriends” not only brought laughter but gave fans a rare and candid look into the friendships and off-camera lives of some of K-pop’s most iconic stars. The chemistry between the guests revealed emotional depth, longtime camaraderie, and an entertaining glimpse into their lives behind fame.
