Mitsuki152/2PM

2PM is a seven-member boy band from Seoul, South Korea. They are managed by Park Jin-Young of JYP Entertainment. The members are Jaebum, Nichkhun, Junsu, Taecyeon, Junho, Wooyoung, and Chansung. 2PM is one of the two subgroups branched out from the eleven-member boy band One Day, the other being 2AM. They debuted with the song "10점 만점에 10점" (10 points out of 10 points) which showcased their mix of acrobatic and b-boy dance style.[1] They achieved their first #1 song with "Again & Again".

Musical History edit

Pre-debut edit

The members of 2PM all auditioned to become part of JYP Entertainment, to which the Wonder Girls also belong. Some members held their auditions in other countries, such as Jaebum who auditioned in the United States. 2PM's and 2AM's training days were filmed in a documentary called Hot Blood Men, which aired on Mnet. The show documented the rigorous training program of the JYP trainees who were to be part of the group One Day, as well as the elimination of three of trainees from the group.

All of the members have been trained in dancing, acrobatics and singing.[1]

2008-2009: Debut and Breakthrough Success edit

2PM debuted with their song "10점 만점에 10점" on September 4, 2008. On October 17, 2008, they began to promote "Only You", another song from their debut mini album "Hottest Time of the Day."

On April 16, 2009, the group released their second mini album "2:00 PM Time For Change". Promotions began April 23rd on M!Countdown, as 2PM performed an introductory dance to "What Time Is It Now" that lead to the performance of their title single, "Again & Again". On May 9, 2009, they won their first Mutizen Song award on M!Countdown since their debut; in the same week, they won their second Mutizen on SBS Inkigayo. The group earned their third Mutizen the following week, completing the triple crown and making them ineligible to win for the following weeks. However, the award that had been eluding them - Music Bank - was quickly won soon after.

On July 2, 2009 while in Thailand on a promotional tour, 2PM once again achieved first place on the M!Countdown and Music Bank charts for the song "I Hate You".
