2PM's Taecyeon takes on the rugged outdoors in Vancouver for 'Elle'

2PM Taecyeon's latest photo shoot for 'Elle Korea' took place at the pier and woods of Vancouver, Canada, perfectly matching his 'beast-dol' image.

In the photo shoot, Taecyeon shows off his masculine charm as he takes his shirt off by the pier, revealing his chocolate abs. He looks cool in shades in other photos and also takes a leisurely walk on an empty road by the woods.

For his interview, Taecyeon talked about being an acting-dol and his past dramas 'Cinderella's Sister' and 'Wonderful Days'. Taecyeon said, "At the time, there were fewer idols who were acting, and if you weren't good, it was a time when people criticized you mercilessly." Taecyeon added that he was burdened, but he did his best with the opportunities he received.

He also said, "My identity is on the contrary, a student. A grad student." As you might know, Taecyeon is currently a master's student at the prestigious Korea University!
