2PM History

2PM Pre-debut
Before their debut, 2PM was featured on an documentary called Hot Blood Men that aired on Mnet, along with the members of 2AM. The show documented the rigorous training program of JYP trainees as well as the elimination of three of trainees from the group.
2 PM Debut
2PM debuted with their debut single “Hottest Time of the Day,” and also released a music video for “10 out of 10.” 2PM made their official debut performance on Mnet M!Countdown, performing “10 out of 10″, on September 4, 2008. They continued to perform “10 out of 10″ on other music shows, including SBS Inkigayo and KBS Music Bank. They were paricularly known for their high energy during their performances and the subtle changes and improvisations to their choreography. On October 17th, 2008, 2PM officially started their promotion for “Only You,” another song from “Hottest Time of the D
Now known as JYP’s Pride and Joy, 2PM finally released their much anticipated single album “Hottest Time of the Day” on August 29. JYP revealed that “this group is my pride and reputation” because 2PM is his newest boyband in 10 years since the creation of G.O.D. The title of their album “Hottest Time of the Day” implies that 2PM will reflect the bussle and activity of mid-day by working hard as a dance group.
2PM’s title song is “10 points out of 10″, which is a fusion of rock(ish) guitar ripples, electronica, with a hip-pop beat that shows JYP’s daring style. And I definitely give them a perfect score – “10 out of 10″ – because this song will be the next sensation. Their single album contains 6 tracks, including “Only You” and “Angel”.

2PM Television hosting
In December 2008, 2PM began to host the third season of MBC’s Idol Show (아이돌군단의 떴다!그녀).[18] The segment ran from December 4, 2008 to March 26, 2009, with a total of seventeen episodes.
The group also starred in a reality show on M.net, titled “Wild Bunny”, in which the members escaped the pressures of stardom by performing ten forbidden activities of idols. The show ran from July 21, 2009 to September 1, 2009, with seven episodes aired; the airing of the final episode, which coincidentally featured the members engaged in a “Leader Olympics” game to select a new leader, was postponed indefinitely due to Jaebeom’s internet controversy and his subsequent departure from the group.[19]
In addition, Taecyeon and Wooyoung are hosting SBS (Seoul Broadcasting System)’s weekly music show Inkigayo, while Jaebeom and Chansung have also made regular appearances on ‘Introducing Star Friends’. Since Jaebeom was voted off, Nichkhun replaced his position as the guest. Nichkhun and Wooyoung were also frequent guests on SBS’s variety talent show Star King between April and October 2009, with the other 2PM members occasionally joining them.

2PM Endorsements
In March 2009, 2PM was selected to model for EXR, a clothing company in Korea. In July 2009, the members of 2PM were selected as the representatives of foreign artists by the Thai government-led tourism campaign, I Love Thailand. Member Nichkhun has also been selected by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) as the face of their newest campaign, “Come to Thailand; Let’s Take a Break!”
In August 2009, 2PM collaborated with the Body Shop in ‘Soft Hands, Kind Heart’, a worldwide campaign that calls for the protection of children and teenagers against sex trafficking. The members will act as Korea’s spokespeople for the campaign.
In late October 2009, a commercial film (CF) of 2PM promoting Hanami (a Thailand snack company) was released, which also included Jaebeom; the commercial was said to be filmed prior to his departure in September.
November 2009 saw multiple new endorsement deals for the group [24], the first of which being a commercial and print campaign for Market O’s “Real Brownie” pastry. Shortly thereafter, the group endorsed the Samsung Corby mobile phone, one of the newest mobile devices in Samsung’s popular “Anycall” series, both on television and on the Samsung website.[25] 2PM is also currently endorsing Paris-Croissant Food Company’s Paris Baguette bakery franchise, for which the group recorded a special Christmas song and are featured in a series of commercials with popular Korean actress Kim Tae Hee.
