2PM, The Most Famous Korean Boy-Band

2PM by JYP

Talking about Korean boy band, this band I think is the best one. This group is one part of JYP’s Entertainment who also ‘raises up’ the Wondergirls. JYP didn’t play around in getting the members of this band, they held an audition to select the members of this rap-and-dance boyband, on an audition called “Hot Blood Men.”

Firstly JYP formed a 11-member group band named “One Day” but then they split them up into two groups, the first is 2PM and the other one is 2AM. What a name for them! 2 almost-similar group’s name, raised up by similar Music Industry. While 2AM dedicates their song in ballad and slow songs, 2PM is just all away around; they sing rap and dance songs. I hope they don’t compete to each other.

2PM has 7 Group members; six of them are Koreans and 1 is a Thai. For more information about them, here is the more detail information about them. Enjoy it guys:
