2PM - NHK Weekly Stella




Starting from April, 2PM has been appearing on the lifestyle channel, "Television's Korean Speaking Platform", with their show, "2PM's One Point Korean". From having first debuted in Japan, to having a go at an educational show, they have already finished recording two-thirds of their segments. What thoughts do they have about this?

SUTERA will publish two continuous weeks of special reports on 2PM!

Asking questions to the members and exploring their individual personalities. 2PM's question!

2PM
Debuted in Korea in 2008. Nicknamed "Beastly-dols" due to their wild and beautiful manly moves, jumped straight to becoming a top star. Although they had never dubuted in Japan, they attracted 25,000 people to their live showcases in both countires. Debuted in Japan with the song, "Take Off", and this created the record for the most number of singles sold in the first wek by a KPOP group in history. Thereafter, all that they touched was gold. Apart from their own individual participation in Japanese and Korean dramas, they also had a Live Tour that played for 100,000 people, had a great success at their June concert in Budokan, and are currently preparing for a 150,000 people tour in their 2013 Arena Tour. Their new single "Masquerade" will release on the 14th, and their movie with their brothers, 2AM, called "Beyond the ONEDAY - Story of 2PM and 2AM" will be released on DVD starting from the 12th.
