im not dissing 2pm for their hard work. i dont think any one is.

but, @whoever who mentioned SHINee. skinny is skinny, idk about boot camp or what, but if you’re trying to say they don’t work hard, thats is a hell of a joke. the way these guys train on a continual long-term basis up till now.. if anything, they don’t need to be put on a training like this to get them ‘passionate’ again – they are already so damn disciplined already.

fyi even during their break period before their comeback, there were fansightings (ok, stalking lol) that the boys went to practice room in the early morning around sundawn, and others reported that they only emerged in the wee hours of the next morning. and this was apparently the kind of schedules they keep. if this is not passion and discipline, i dont know what this is.

my point is that you dont necessarily need to have a boot camp or two to ‘validate’ that the artiste is passionate about what he does or disciplined etc.

I’m still fairly new to Kpop & the Korean entertianment industry so it’s still hard for me to grasp onto the whole “trainee” concept, but after seeing a few eps. of “Hot Blood” myself, I was very shocked to see how dedicated & passionate these idols are to becoming the wamazing singers & dancers that they are today !

Why must everything, and everyone always get compared….”they did this, they did that, but they did this?” Who the hell cares?!?! Why can’t HOTBLOOD BOYS just be seen for what it is? A SINGULAR experience that these specific boys had, on the road to becoming what they’ve become, and for a few, what they didn’t become.

Ellie, clearly stated, “Now before I get started, I’ll say this, I know men all over the world go to boot-camp for military reasons and I know many have trained harder than the boys I will mention soon….” which means, she understands perfectly that ONE DAY and JYP, didn’t invent training, and working hard, they just took it to another level, for themselves.

It’s amazing….you really don’t see the KPOP Idols themselves, comparing themselves to one another. They perform together, appear on variety/game shows together, guest on each others radio programs…. that’s why it’s so easy for me to be fans of, 2PM, 2AM, Big Bang, SUJU, DBSK, SHINWA etc etc etc…i don’t waste time comparing them, just enjoying them.

to …: I don’t think any of the comments are saying that DBSK, SUJU, big bang, etc. didn’t work hard or have bad experiences because they obviously did. I mean being in the industry, it is NOT easy being an entertainer. We all know Jaejoong’s stories of going through poverty, Yoochun’s stories of having to leave behind his mom and younger brother, and of course Dae Sung’s stories of how his dad strongly disapproved of his career so of course we know they are hard working sacrificing idols. I think what everyone is just trying to say is that ONEDAY had to go through harsh boot camp like training that other bands did not have to go through. I totally respect one day because they were challenged not only physically but mentally and I hope they become just as big as the top dogs in the Kpop industry.

I especially respect Jaebeom. I mean did you see how effin scrawny he was back in the days?! Sheesh and look at his body now. He must’ve worked so damn hard.

JYP did the right thing when he noticed they were starting to get lazy, I love ONE DAY.

didn’t dbsk & super junior mention about how they should do splits in their trainee days ? i think it’s even harsher than this boot-camp thingy LOL K, just kidding =)
well, just because other companies don’t actually have a reality show about their training days doesn’t mean they’re not equally hardworking. i remember some members of groups like dbsk, suju, snsd, big bang, etc have even worse experiences than 2pm&2am in their pre-debut days =(

100% agreed with really? major dbsk fan over here, but I don’t think many people went through what 2ONEDAY went through, having snowballs put in your pants while exercising? Carrying heavy boats across the beach on your feet and knees? The only relaxing thing I remember from this show is when they had the cutie yoga teacher show them a move or two but they were sweating their bums off then as well. I’ll admit, for awhile I only listened to dbsk because they are talented, but just like Ellie, after watching this show 2PM and 2AM were definately climbing my favourite list, Idol Army was the cherry on top.
