We can't deny that 2PM Taecyeon's popularity has soared since the the last quarter of 2009. The man is everywhere and fans/netizens have been noticing that he no longer has that humble rookie mindset. Instead, they have been criticizing him for becoming "cocky," but with all the new found fame and glory, I would think that is somewhat understandable. But that is just my opinion, as fans and netizens are not as understanding. Hazyfiasco of 2Oneday reported:

Taecyeon's 'Thanks To' note from the 1:59PM album has stirred up the netizens once more. When the issue first came up, kHottests remained silent and stayed away from the controversy. Netizens are furious on behalf of the Hottests because of three points: 1. Hottests were not mentioned in his thanks to, but the nut club members were. 2. A shoutout to the nut members are more important than Jay and Hottests. 3. He's losing his rookie mindset. Netizens have noticed that he's gotten noticeably big headed and cocky about his fame. (This isn't the first time he's been called out on this.)

Although Hazyfiasco's report puts the blame on netizens, there really is no way to determine whether they are just netizens or actually 2PM fans. I'm sure there is a bit of overlap there, regardless, this is a heated debate and at the time of the report, Hazyfiasco stated, "the article has received over 400 pages of replies, none of which are positive. The article has, as of this moment, 657,213 views and 4,698 replies." I poke fun at artists from time to time and say some inappropriate things, but it's all in good fun. In cases like these however, I find it rather ridiculous that people try to dig up the smallest details to start a heated debate. Sure, Taecyeon seems to have become more cocky and confident, but that's super stardom for you. What did you think? He'd remain humble and dwell with the commoners forever? Fans, get over it, stars don't really care about you. And if that bothers you so much, take your hard earned money and send him a douche bag for his next birthday, as opposed to luxury items and gifts.
