[Discussion]2PM

2PM is a South Korean boy band, originally a seven-member group, but currently consisting of six members due to the sudden contract termination of leader Jaebeom following an Internet controversy in September 2009. They are managed by JYP Entertainment. The current members are Junsu, Junho, Nichkhun, Taecyeon, Wooyoung and Chansung.

2PM is made by Korean musician Park Jin Young after GOD for the first time in 10 years to launch boyband. 2PM is one of the two subgroups branched out from the eleven-member (before Jaebeom's departure) boy band One Day, the other being 2AM. They debuted with the song "10 Jeom Manjeome 10 Jeom" (10점 만점에 10점, lit. 10 Points Out of 10 Points), which showcased their acrobatic dance styles. They achieved their first No. 1 song with "Again & Again".

I'm liking them too. I think their music is improving. I don't like their previous songs, but I like a few from the "Hand Up" album. But I've liked them since before I liked their music because of their awesome variety show skills...LOL

I don't like them. :P

Or rather, I only like their Hands Up release. Then again I'm no JYP fan.

I love 2PM

My fav songs:
10 out of 10 |Thank You

Here is 2PM's songs list: http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_by_2PM

I think i'm very lucky indeed.
1. I got Twitter reply from Nichkhun
2. Last month in November i got free ticket from a friend to watch 2PM Hands Up Asia Tour. OMG the concert marvelous, Chansung & Taecyeon fighting with LED saber sword, Nichkhun flying with wings & fire, they all can do acrobatic & synchronized dancing & they gave red roses to Hottest, sexy hot body with ripping their shirt off ㅋㅋㅋ

They divide their income equally even if one of the member got a CF job individually, he would share the income into 6.

He collaborated with Yeeun of Wonder Girls for "正" ("Jeong") on the Han Sung Byul Gok OST. Due to his comments on his MySpace page, he left the group on September 8, 2009.

Taecyeon was born in Seoul, emigrated with his family to Bedford, Massachusetts. He lived there for 7 years. His family still reside there. He attends Dankook university in Korea.

So in international concerts Taecyeon & Nichkhun can speak as MCs cuz they can speak fluently.

Chansung really loves banana & anything that related to food. He is a food lover.

Junsu speaks Daegu accent with 2PM members. He is the oldest, so he can speak ban-mal (informal words).

Taecyeon & Chansung are heavy eaters, you can't imagine how many portions they would eat!!!

Hottest should watch Idol Army season 3 & 2PM Show. So you can know them better & those are great hilarious show ever!!!
