2PM is a branch of oneday (an 11-membered group) from JYP Entertainment. oneday is formed from a reality show M.Net Hot Blood Documenter (for more about Hot Blood member and the documentary, see “about Hot Blood”). Consist of 7 members, Jaebum as (ex) leader, Junsu, Nichkhun, Taecyeon, Wooyoung, Junho and Chansung. They sing in dance genre, and make a different performance from other idol by adding acrobatic moves to their dance. Debut at September 4, 2008 with song 10 Points out of 10 Points (10점 만점에 10점). They have several other hit single like Only You, Again&Again, I Hate You (니가 밉다), Heartbeat and Tired of Waiting (기다리다 지친다). They have been topped in a music show’s chart with single Again&Again, I Hate You (니가 밉다) and Heartbeat. 2PM was also releasing several other single featured on other artists’ song or for CF and OST. After Jaebum quit from 2PM and left Korea on September 2009, 2PM continue their activity without their leader. He has to leave 2PM due to his myspace controvercy for making a comment in 2005, that insulting Korea. As for the group (from September 2009 when Jaebum left until February 2010), no one replacing the leader spot on 2PM. It’s left empty because there’s still a chance that he will coming back as 2PM’s member and leader. But as annouced at 25th February 2010, Jaebum is stated that he’s permanently quit from 2PM because some “personal mistakes” (that can’t be revealed) occured during Again&Again promotion, and currently there’s no new leader appointed in 2PM nor a plan that a new member will be added into 2PM (read more about this controvercy at Jaebum’s profile). On April 22nd, 2010, 2PM is back active again to promote the song Without U and Don’t Stop Can’t Stop.
