Signature

Ok Taec-yeon (Korean: 옥택연; born December 27, 1988),[1] known mononymously as Taecyeon, is a South Korean rapper, singer, actor, and entrepreneur. In 2008, he debuted as the rapper of the South Korean boy band 2PM. In 2010, Ok debuted as an actor in the Korean drama Cinderella's Stepsister and has since starred in notable television series such as Dream High (2011), Bring It On, Ghost (2016), Vincenzo (2021), and The First Night with the Duke (2025), as well as films such as Hansan: Rising Dragon (2022). As a solo artist, he has released one studio album in Japan titled Taecyeon Special: Winter Hitori.

Early life and education

Ok Taecyeon was born in Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea,[2] but emigrated at the age of 10 with his family to Boston, Massachusetts, where he lived for seven years.[3] He attended Bedford High School where he was a member of the Chess Club, Jazz Band, JV Soccer Team, and National Honor Society, before returning to pursue his career in Korea. Ok transferred to Young Dong High School in Seoul, studied Business Administration at Dankook University, and studied International Business at Korea University Graduate School of International Studies.[4]

In 2005, Ok's older sister Jihyen persuaded him to participate in a JYP Entertainment audition she had noticed via Internet promotions. After his reluctant agreement, both headed for New York City on his 17th birthday. A week later, he was amongst the final 35 chosen to go further in the competition and received a call to move to South Korea. Ok originally applied to become a model, but the judges suggested he try dancing and singing. Eventually, he was named one of the dozen finalists (including his future members, Lee Junho and Hwang Chan-sung) to compete in the show Superstar Survival, but was the first contestant to leave the show.[5] Despite this, JYP Entertainment still offered him a trainee contract.[6]

Ok is fluent in English, Korean, and Japanese.[7] He is also familiar with the Busan dialect, which he has used in the dramas Cinderella's Stepsister, Wonderful Days, and Save Me.[8][9]

In 2008, he participated in Mnet's Hot Blood Men, a program that chronicles the rigorous training of thirteen aspiring trainees, all vying for a coveted spot in the boy band One Day.[10][11] This initiative ultimately led to the formation of two distinct boy bands, namely 2AM and 2PM.

Half a year following the televised airing of Hot Blood Men, the group 2PM made their debut with the release of their inaugural single "10 Out of 10" from their first single album titled Hottest Time of the Day.[12] However, it was their second single album, 2:00PM Time For Change, that propelled them to mainstream success in Korean music, solidifying their meteoric rise. As of 2021, the group has released seven studio albums in Korea and five studio albums in Japan. Taecyeon has written and composed several tracks for the group, including "Promise (I'll Be)", the title track of their sixth Korean studio album, Gentlemen's Game.[13]

Military enlistment

On December 9, 2010, a JYP spokesperson revealed that Ok planned on giving up his American permanent residence visa and already received his official confirmation for his permanent residence cancellation on December 1.[78] In 2008, Ok had a physical examination for the military draft, but found he would only be able to enlist for public service personnel due to his poor vision and a dislocated shoulder. In 2010, 2012, and 2013, he underwent surgeries to correct the disk and to remove pins in his upper arm from a serious break in 2013. He was cleared for active duty in December 2013 after a second physical examination, but delayed his enlistment due to a busy workload.[79]

In February 2019, Ok received an early promotion as a Sergeant for his exceptional conduct while serving as a military instruction assistant at the 9th Armed Forces Division in Gyeonggi Province.[88] Due to his superb records, exemplary character, and great performance, Ok was appointed as a Special Class Warrior by his division commander and was awarded as a "Model Soldier" by the Ministry of National Defense.[89] He also earned the nickname "Captain Korea" from Korean netizens because of his physique that mirrored the famous Marvel superhero, Captain America; the nickname has been used in headlines on several news portals and broadcasts.[90] In an interview, Ok expressed the pressure of having the nickname, "It was a nickname that brought a lot of pressure, but it also made me want to work that much harder. I'll continue to work hard to fit that nickname."[91] Ok completed his military service and was discharged on May 16, 2019.[92][93]
