Singer-actor Ok Taecyeon revealed his expertise on alcohol, alongside his drinking habits in a recent video.
On December 15th, a video featuring Ok Taecyeon was uploaded on the YouTube channel “channel fullmoon”
In this video, Ok Taecyeon transformed into a brewing instructor. As his hobby is brewing soju, Taecyeon gifted a personally brewed drink to PD Na Young Seok during a meeting. Following this, Na PD suggested a lecture on alcohol, leading to the production team inviting Ok Taecyeon to appear as a brewing instructor on “channel fullmoon”.
On this occasion, Ok Taecyeon opened up about how he developed a liking for alcohol, stating, “One of our 2PM members, Nichkhun, he really likes wine. We started having wine together and once I got into it, I loved the fragrance and taste. But it wasn’t cost-effective, not only is it pricey, but once you open a bottle, you have to finish it. So that’s how I got into whiskey. Whiskey is stronger, so I could get drunk (by) drinking in small amounts and there’s no problem in leaving the bottle open.”
Being genuinely fond of alcohol, Ok Taecyeon also shared insights about his drinking capacity and maintaining weight while drinking.
In particular, he mentioned that in a comfortable setting, he can drink up to 2 bottles of soju. However, since alcohol is high in calories, he doesn’t drink when trying to lose weight.
Later on, before sipping a glass of whiskey, Ok Taecyeon explained the importance of “swirling”, saying, “For drinks like wine or whiskey, you swirl so the liquid touches the glass and to allow the aroma to spread. It’s really to enjoy the enriched aroma.”
Next, the idol-actor revealed his favorite beer and whisky brands, and mentioned the best whiskey he ever tried, even asking the producers to note down his recommendations.
