The 26-year-old discussed his K-pop activities, reflecting in particular positively on his role in the 2010 TV drama "Cinderella's Sister."
"At that time, there were fewer K-pop singers who were also acting. It was also a time where if you didn't do well, you would be (severely) insulted and reprimanded," said Taecyeon.
Taecyeon also said that male groups Shinhwa and g.o.d -- who were popular during the late 1990s and early 2000s -- had changed the K-pop scene.
The 2PM member talked about marriage in relation to his happily-married parents, as well as recent trips around Europe with them.
The Korean-American singer flew to Vancouver, Canada, for the photoshoot with the fashion magazine.
