Nick Khun is a midget

Nickkhun_rain_081121 (1)

Nick Khun of boy group, 2PM is a tiny tim compared to the giant Rain, who is a stately 185 cm tall. Granted, Nick is one step down and Rain is not wearing his man heels, but still - the boy is a very cute hobbit. And we mean this in the nicest way.

Nick Khun is listed as 180cm, but we know that’s special effects, camera angles and a bit of stretching.

    ???????

  4. 4 zerohundred November 21, 2008 at 4:43 am

    WHOA. At first I thought the step made the difference, but if you compare his leg size to Rain’s, it’s shocking.

  5. 5 mimo November 21, 2008 at 4:46 am

    He’s still cute just the same.

  6. 6 amie November 21, 2008 at 4:47 am

    hes also further away

  7. 7 que? November 21, 2008 at 4:49 am

    Actually 2PM guys are the tallest idol right now…I saw them next to Big Bang and I bursted out laughing…Rain is just a giant

  8. 8 whoooo November 21, 2008 at 4:52 am

    why is this even a topic?…….

  9. 9 Nozomi November 21, 2008 at 4:56 am

    damn that pic makes rain look like the green giant. What kind of freaky camera angles are they using?

  10. 10 Joli November 21, 2008 at 4:57 am

    It would probably help if he were on that platform that RAIN is STANDING on.

  11. 11 felisshi November 21, 2008 at 4:57 am

    If Rain is 185 cm, then NK must be 175cm. definitely not a midget. He is cute. What he lacks in height, he makes up with his boyish looks. Can somebody get me a tape measure!! Please take their heights coz Rain really looks very tall. Oh well, that’s because he stands straight and has a good posture.

  12. 12 Lina November 21, 2008 at 4:57 am

    I think DBSG is taller than mos of the idol groups..it’s just that they are all so tall XD
    But 2pm is totally my 2nd fave boyband ^^

  13. 13 MILK* November 21, 2008 at 5:01 am

    Nich Khun is not only standing one step lower but he is also standing more in the backgroud. If they would really stand next to each other side by side, I bet Nich Khun would still be quite tall.

  14. 14 fish November 21, 2008 at 5:03 am

    yeah I agree with milk, i think the distance from the camera also determines how small or big the person is, i mean naturally, the farther you go from the camera the smaller you look…. so technically it could be the camera angle that’s distorting his height…

  15. 15 Jenny. November 21, 2008 at 5:09 am

    agree with milk.

    nickhun is tall. second tallest in 2PM after taekyeon, i think?

  16. 16 Reebuh November 21, 2008 at 5:15 am

    Okay, Rain is 185 cm tall, and Nick Khun is 180 cm. Rain is only 5 cm taller. Plus, the camera angle made him look puny. Haha..
    What show was this?

  17. 17 SARA November 21, 2008 at 5:19 am

    the silliest topic
    POPSEOUL have nothing to write

    btw Rain look so hot in this pic

  18. 18 michlee November 21, 2008 at 5:22 am

    uh, besides the step, nick is farther away from rain, ergo him looking even smaller. if they stood side by side, then it would be a fair comparison. such a picture like the above doesn’t prove much, but camera angles.

  19. 19 Beckbeck November 21, 2008 at 5:26 am

    Why is this an article?

  20. 20 glamchicdiva November 21, 2008 at 5:28 am

    oh come on, some of you actually believe it? lol. TaecYeon, NichKhun, and ChanSung are the tallest members of 2PM, and you can totally see it when you saw them standing next to a lot of other artists during the ending of music shows.

    lol. popseoul is funn in a mean way. 2PM fans will take this lightly as a joke. cuz we’ve seen pictures of Rain and NichKhun standing side by side, and they’re pretty much the same height.

    Rain was standing on the platform, while NichKhun wasn’t. and it doesn’t help that Khun was a few steps further away from the camera than Rain.

  21. 21 lev November 21, 2008 at 5:51 am

    Give him a chance to get up the steps first.

    Asians are generally short though. Curse those damn genes!! x.X

  22. 22 icic November 21, 2008 at 5:53 am

    What kind of post is this!? These days PS will do anything to attract traffic!! Sad!

  23. 23 Nozomi November 21, 2008 at 6:02 am

    @Reebuh i think it was from ysmm season 2

  24. 24 backstage November 21, 2008 at 6:18 am

    aww look at him!!!

    am seeing 2pm in a nw light now~~hihi

  25. 25 cho November 21, 2008 at 6:23 am

    1 factor probably is that Rain is nearer than Nick…
    who cares? the guy is effing cute! I LOVE his eyes…
    and DBSK the tallest idol groups, not that I consider them one, by average…

  26. 26 zully November 21, 2008 at 6:25 am

    oh god..can’t you see..?
    rain is on the stair..
    if khun step up..he’ll be 180 like you said..

  27. 27 travp16 November 21, 2008 at 6:27 am

    Hahaha…Rain is a freak of nature.

  28. 28 HAHAHA November 21, 2008 at 6:32 am

    he’s further away and down a step so that makes him look smaller than he really is. probably around 5′7 ish

  29. 29 rubylovefaith November 21, 2008 at 6:44 am

    When I saw the pic………I didn’t look at Rain or Nick Kyun…….I only saw my hottie Jun Jin sitting there….all clueless…Love him….

    Anyway…….

    He is really cute…..who cares how tall he is
    Yeah, Rain looks sexy……..

  30. 30 Unknown November 21, 2008 at 6:49 am

    he is further away. that makes a BIG difference

  31. 31 saera November 21, 2008 at 6:53 am

    uh?

  32. 32 megane November 21, 2008 at 6:56 am

    …5cm is only 2 inches difference and Rain is standing closer to the camera, and it’s not Asian genes that could have made Nich Khun shorter, he’s after all only half blood Asian(Thai) while Rain, who’s a full blooded Asian(Korean), is much taller.

  33. 33 hello November 21, 2008 at 6:59 am

    of course it’s a silly article, but it’s just an excuse to show nichkhun’s good looking face :P

  34. 34 Jerk November 21, 2008 at 7:03 am

    lol a hot midget.

  35. 35 kim November 21, 2008 at 7:20 am

    180 cm is 5 feet 9 inches right?
    thats pretty tall…
    or am i just short? -_____-

  36. 36 annie November 21, 2008 at 7:46 am

    actually, that’s about 5′11, so khun is pretty tall
    it’s just that rain is like 6′1

  37. 37 jangjang November 21, 2008 at 7:56 am

    if u have nothing to write about.. i suggest at least looking at other popnews sites and copying theirs RATHER than making up your own Sh it ones

    cause they’re LAME like your hairy ass

  38. 38 Thai November 21, 2008 at 8:07 am

    megane: uhm, forgive me but NichKhun is a full blooded Asian(Thai) ^^

  39. 39 Rin November 21, 2008 at 8:08 am

    Nick Khun = 180cm
    Rain = 185cm

    Rain is taller regardless…
    But yes, I believe 2PM currently has the tallest average height out of all the idol groups (Jaebum isn’t that tall though lol).

  40. 40 Thai November 21, 2008 at 8:08 am

    adding, just don’t want you thinking otherwise :)

  41. 41 kiwistar November 21, 2008 at 8:10 am

    um…you’re kidding, right?
    He’s further from the camera and on a lower platform.
    He’s also younger and naturally shorter than Rain -.-

  42. 42 semantics November 21, 2008 at 8:18 am

    Yo PS..Its NICHKHUN not NICK KHUN.

  43. 43 watttt November 21, 2008 at 8:19 am

    nick khun is no midget…he was sohee’s partner during the “nobody” tango and she was wearing heels yet he was still taller than her.. and sohee’s one of the taller WGs..
    he’s so adorable.. <3 him..

  44. 44 jelle November 21, 2008 at 8:19 am

    youre comparing it to Rain. so dumb.

    dont hate, popseoul

  45. 45 wtf November 21, 2008 at 8:20 am

    rain is on the STAGE
    and nick khun is in the back so obviously, he looks shorter

  46. 46 SP November 21, 2008 at 8:20 am

    WOW, don’t hate.

    Rain is just tall! ;)

  47. 47 janepak November 21, 2008 at 8:21 am

    rain needs skinnier pants lol…it’ll make him look even taller…

  48. 48 zeppb November 21, 2008 at 8:24 am

    I love 비 (rain). Speaking of that I have to go get his new song that’s out lol.

  49. 49 elusive November 21, 2008 at 8:29 am

    can you get any smarter popseoul?

    you mean THIS picture is special effects and camera angles -.-

  50. 50 Leo November 21, 2008 at 8:29 am

    Kpop nonsense by Popseoul nonsense

  51. 51 LadyIgraine November 21, 2008 at 8:31 am

    Ah, if you notice the floor area, Nick Khun was on the lower area, whilst Rain was on the top. That’s probably why he looked tiny compare to Rain.

  52. 52 torin-san November 21, 2008 at 8:32 am

    wtf? photoshop?

  53. 53 tewkewl November 21, 2008 at 8:49 am

    um popseoul. you are officially stupid. there are some perspective issues with this shot. can’t you tell?

  54. 54 megane November 21, 2008 at 9:00 am

    @Thai…Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul is an American citizen by birth, half Thai of Chinese descent…he went back and forth US-Thailand but finished his high school here in the States and was signed by JYP and trained in Korea…he’s not pure Thai, you can check his bio anywhere.

  55. 55 krnchngrl November 21, 2008 at 9:14 am

    how dummbbbbb

    omg -___-

    forreals, the step DOES make a difference and the angle as well!

    hes not even short -___-

    lame lame, HES A FREAKIN CUTIEE!! :D <3

  56. 56 wondergirlsfan November 21, 2008 at 9:35 am

    list of 2PM guys height
    taec 185
    chansung 184
    nich khun 182

    Also,2AM’s seul ong and jin woon are 186 and 185

  57. 57 bre November 21, 2008 at 9:53 am

    well nick khun’s height is probably false then

  58. 58 SH November 21, 2008 at 9:56 am

    haha…but who is Teacher Jessica?? strange…

  59. 59 - -;; November 21, 2008 at 10:10 am

    Erm…he is in the lower stairs…

  60. 60 chamber November 21, 2008 at 10:31 am

    He could shorter than the 180 cm listed but i also think like some people, Force Perspective made the size disparity look more glaring. With him being in a lower level and further back than Rain these could be (accidentally) perfect conditions to get a force perspective shot. They have used technique a lot in the movies most notably, a lot of the hobbit shots in the lord of the rings

  61. 61 angel November 21, 2008 at 10:34 am

    yup.. nichkun stands on the lower stairs…

  62. 62 blegh November 21, 2008 at 10:34 am

    if you guys look closely hes not on the same platform as rain….

  63. 63 confused November 21, 2008 at 10:40 am

    it’s just the step, that’s all.

    this boy is cute! :)

  64. 64 Sam November 21, 2008 at 10:40 am

    ok so Rain is friggin HOT! purple hair and all,which i love btw hahaha but the poor kid, i seriously doubt he’s 180 cm, he’s like 5′7 tops!!

  65. 65 Ria November 21, 2008 at 10:54 am

    Nick is actually very tall, it’s just that he’s on the last step, and further in the bkg… DUH PEOPLE, Popseoul knows this, which is why it’s in the “Nonsense” category! It’s nonsensical humor! OMG If you guys don’t understand PS’s brand of humor, go away!

  66. 66 otto November 21, 2008 at 10:58 am

    ROFL one of them has a thyroid problem

  67. 67 ^o^ November 21, 2008 at 11:23 am

    lol..
    i never know that rain is this giant

  68. 68 Aaliyah8 November 21, 2008 at 11:29 am

    Lols… Pop Seoul has ran out of ideas to blog.. but hey any RAIN news is fine wt me!

  69. 69 Fleep♥ November 21, 2008 at 11:35 am

    Obv hes going to look small for 2 reasons

    1. hes standing in the background
    2. hes standing down a step

  70. 70 mrs. kim November 21, 2008 at 11:42 am

    oh and yeah - btw - dbsk is the tallest idol group iirc. all are at least 5′10″ afaik

  71. 71 elusive November 21, 2008 at 11:44 am

    ^ and that’s reeeeeally relevant -.-

  72. 72 irees November 21, 2008 at 11:52 am

    Whatever. Nick Khun is still cute, handsome, and YOUNG. Also, Nick Khun is infinite times smarter than Rain. The kid’s fluent in so many languages. Way better than Rain’s Engrish.

  73. 73 Jane November 21, 2008 at 12:04 pm

    Actually I think Cho Shin Sung (Supernova) is the tallest group. All of them are super tall.

    And Rain is a giant. Him next to Son Ho Young makes Ho Young look tiny too.

  74. 74 DennisLee November 21, 2008 at 12:06 pm

    PS running out of topics?? childish tho.
    Y not chat about his album, singing, acting, song lyrics -what is he trying to insinnuate in his latest albums & stuff like that.
    is he giving weird signals to his ex-gfs thru his songs, make no cents & $$$??

  75. 75 uhmm.. popseoul???? November 21, 2008 at 12:09 pm

    it’s because of where he’s standing… yeah.. it’s the angle that’s making him look like a hobbit but i’ve seen him on stage with the other boys and he surely is not short

  76. 76 lalala November 21, 2008 at 12:11 pm

    @megane
    Nichkhun is fully asian.
    Both of his parents are asian.
    He just happened to be born in America.
    That doesn’t mean he’s half -_-”

  77. 77 JG November 21, 2008 at 12:17 pm

    ehhh, he’s not standing on the same platform as Rain.

  78. 78 Sara November 21, 2008 at 12:24 pm

    Unrelated.
    But Rain is hot.

  79. 79 calmer410 November 21, 2008 at 12:24 pm

    Lol..popseoul is wrong :P

    Well Rain is 184cm rite? Not 185..

  80. 80 wekfjlskd November 21, 2008 at 12:45 pm

    lol
    are your eyes okay?
    cant you see it?

    Nick Khun was standing about 2 steps lower on the floor than rain, and he was on the background too. wat do you call it…perspective? i guess you don’t study art don’t ya?

    how old are you seriously?

  81. 81 Reum Lee-Park November 21, 2008 at 12:47 pm

    rain looks soo manly and scrumptious! i just want him to take me and throw me against a wall pull down my pants and ____________________

    you get the picture lol

  82. 82 live4music November 21, 2008 at 12:52 pm

    bad angle and being a step (or two) down are the only reasons he looks short

    hahahah POPSEOUL just wanted a reason to post a pick of him XP

  83. 83 yui November 21, 2008 at 1:19 pm

    cutie khunnie!

  84. 84 nina November 21, 2008 at 1:28 pm

    lol even his head is way smaller than bi’s. You must agree he does look tiny compared to rain (body size and all) But still cute. ^^ HAHA

  85. 85 incarnadine November 21, 2008 at 1:28 pm

    Uh… aren’t the photos a bit misleading? Aside from the fact that Nich Khun is standing farther from the camera than Rain, Rain is standing on an elevated platform.

    *shakes head*

    Is this the best that you can do these days?

  86. 86 Bevis November 21, 2008 at 1:36 pm

    Rain is tall.. I envy him.

  87. 87 WHO ? November 21, 2008 at 1:39 pm

    wtf ?

  88. 88 CHEE November 21, 2008 at 2:20 pm

    No….Rain’s just freackishly HUGE!!!

  89. 89 No November 21, 2008 at 2:43 pm

    Rain is 1m85, 1m84 is old news….when Rain wears heel, he must be 1m89 or 1m90.

  90. 90 musicinmyheart November 21, 2008 at 3:33 pm

    His name is Nichkhun - one word. It’s a Thai name.
    He is Asian (Thai) born in the US. His family is in Thailand.
    His citizenship - not so sure. He probably holds 2 passports - Thai and American. - just a guess.
    He is 180 cm.

    and very handsome… hahaha !

  91. 91 JOANA November 21, 2008 at 3:45 pm

    i think Rain is just the GIANT and looks extremely built. Nice strong hands mucles he has there.

    nick khun is just like a boy

    anyway POPSEOUL, Rain has just made his fame to DISCOVERY CHANNEL (the channel would make his video or something that will be broadcated in 130 countries early next year) - in case you need another Rain’s news that make sense

  92. 92 sierra November 21, 2008 at 3:45 pm

    Short… I was under the impression that short boys no longer made the cut these days… and to import him all the way from Thailand (or USA)… :P

  93. 93 Anais69 November 21, 2008 at 3:52 pm

    I totally agree with Aaliyah8. Any Rain news is fine w/ me too. Notice Rain’s shoes. They are big. And you know what they say about big shoes. Big - you already know what——-big feet. These 3 guys were clueless. Little did they know that we’re making a big hullaballoo about their heights. Was this picture taken during their rehearsal?

  94. 94 HR November 21, 2008 at 3:53 pm

    aww hes so cute! but rains still hotter

  95. 95 aegyo November 21, 2008 at 5:01 pm

    he’s still cute though. :)

  96. 96 kathy November 21, 2008 at 6:15 pm

    aww it makes you want to pinch him by the cheeks.
    still iloverain!!

  97. 97 kathy November 21, 2008 at 6:18 pm

    holly crap ive just noticed ive got a simular vest exactly like rains……but i doubt rains wears stuff from just jeans

  98. 98 yeddy November 21, 2008 at 7:11 pm

    hahaha… nick is below the platform. and he is farther than rain. why is this even a subject?

  99. 99 XyLenT November 21, 2008 at 7:53 pm

    nahhh i dun care about it :D

  100. 100 sukie November 21, 2008 at 8:03 pm

    I think those ankle high pants are making him look even shorter

  101. 101 jayjay November 21, 2008 at 8:31 pm

    if i remember correctly.. khun is 5′10 - 5′11, w/e that converts to

  102. 102 michelle November 21, 2008 at 8:45 pm

    nick khun so sweet and nice better than rain

  103. 103 Popseoul misleads November 21, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    That angle is deceiving. Nick was standing two steps below where Rain was standing

  104. 104 thing November 21, 2008 at 9:12 pm

    a boy vs an adult man?

    an adult man wins hands down

  105. 105 Kaybee November 21, 2008 at 9:27 pm

    Tiny and Kawaii~~~ :)

  106. 106 Kaybee November 21, 2008 at 9:33 pm

    Rain is cute :)

  107. 107 wawa November 21, 2008 at 10:01 pm

    i think the band boy Battle have a tallest members among the other group..185,-chris,183-ryu..bla..bla..i dont know the other members name..ha.ha

  108. 108 hotaruvisca November 21, 2008 at 10:43 pm

    i like him..

    he’s so cute….

  109. 109 riki November 21, 2008 at 11:36 pm

    where is this picture taken?
    and who is miss jessica??? at the bottom it is written
    jessica seonsaengnim. and is that junjin sitting down next to them???

  110. 110 kimchikimi November 21, 2008 at 11:58 pm

    Awwwwww,such a hot midget

  111. 111 arinkorin November 22, 2008 at 12:39 am

    Nick Khun is not short. =)
    And that picture is just… not right to compare the height.
    He’s standing below the platform. haha. xD

    But have to admit he’s not as buffed? as Rain.

  112. 112 jazz November 22, 2008 at 3:56 am

    Wow! He looks like a little boy next to rain! Makes him even cuter!

  113. 113 jen jen November 22, 2008 at 4:19 am

    i don’t think he’s 180cm, but he’s not short either. this is a persepective illusion here. rain’s standing in the front while nichkhun is in the far back. he’s smaller overall, but not much shorter than rain.

  114. 114 weeeee November 22, 2008 at 4:21 am

    wow. rain is a giant. it sure doesn’t look like a 5 cm difference to me.

  115. 115 shinta November 22, 2008 at 6:15 am

    @ JOANA

    Really?? Woah! That’s great news, thanks..

  116. 116 jazz November 22, 2008 at 9:20 am

    He’s such a cutie!

  117. 117 Anna Bessonova #1 November 22, 2008 at 10:11 am

    How is Rain a giant? If he’s the 185 he claims then he’s slightly shorter then 6′1”. Tall, but he would look like a midget amongst the true giants in the NBA.

    And how is Rain muscular? We’ve seen the candid photos. He’s lean, not built.

    Then again, it’s all about perspective. Just like that photo.

  118. 118 sweet_nipples November 22, 2008 at 11:08 am

    who cares?? nick khun is cute midget that’s it.

  119. 119 yeahh November 22, 2008 at 12:14 pm

    this is YSMM right?haha.damn nick looks like kyuhyun frm super junior!damn it.they look soo alike.

  120. 120 JOANA November 22, 2008 at 12:53 pm

    really true. they said he’s the first Korean Entertainer to have his life story on the Discovery Channel. the team are going to tape his everyday life (also story of his past life) till end of this year and broadcasts it early next year.

    have no idea how even Discovery Channel discovered him ^^
    guess he’s really famous out there (more than we know). considering Speed was a failure it’s sure something, maybe his team from William Morris did it, the agency provides him with sooo many things for his career in the state as far as i know.

    Discovery Channel has broadcast few Asian entertainers life story such as Jacky Chan and Zang Ziyi

    Well, Nich does not make it in Thailand. He’s just one of
    the boys who want to get hot but so quiet here.

    It’s kinda weird how Khun gets to appear on the varieties shows more than his other members who know how to speak korean.

    Rain looks like a high school student in these pictures. And I’m getting kinda used to his hairstyle. He still looks slim to me. I like him when he had round muscles esp during his concerts in the past. He is still cute though.

    Rain’s standing on a platform
    Nick isnt.

    Wow….Rain is tall….=.=”

  128. 128 Mikinia November 23, 2008 at 2:14 am

    Rain = Platform.
    Nick = No Platform.
    Makes a little difference.

    BTW, Rain also = Sexy.
    Peace.

    The only thing I could think of when I saw this picture was Junjin! Aww he is so hot.. mwaahh..! Nick can’t be 1.80? can he? he sure doesn’t look like it. But all of them is cute! Great articles ^^ ~~

    Clearly you don’t know what a midget is.

  133. 133 twee November 25, 2008 at 9:55 am

    i think nick is totally too cute…if he really isnt 180 he cant possible grow too much with special fx/camera angles…so im sure he’d be taller then 172+
    either way i think im becoming more interested in 2pm cos of him..yes i know im so vain LOL

    Wait. I know I’m like extremely late on the news. If Nickkhun is a midget compared to Rain. . where does the leave wooyoung, junsu, junho, and the rest? He IS the tallest after Taek Yon right? Or was that the other way around? I don’t remember.

    And yipee. It’s a two in one pic. HAHA. Nickhun + Rain. Life couldn’t get any better if Jang Geun Suk was in this too. =.=
