2PM is a South Korean boy band formed by JYP Entertainment in 2008 composed of six members: Jun. K, Nichkhun, Taecyeon, Wooyoung, Junho, and Chansung. Originally a seven-piece group, Jaebeom left the band in 2009. Unlike most Korean boy bands at the time, 2PM constructed a tough and masculine image through their intense performances often featuring acrobatic stunts and sex appeal. As a result, 2PM is known for creating the jimseung-dol phenomenon within South Korea. As the group grew older, they stopped incorporating acrobatics in their choreography routines and transitioned into a more gentlemanly image. As a leading figure of the Korean Wave, the group has achieved commercial success in several regions in Asia including South Korea, Japan, and Thailand.
Through the reality TV series Hot Blood Men, Korean producer J.Y. Park formed an eleven-member band known as One Day. Eventually, the band was split into the dance-focused group 2PM and the ballad-oriented group 2AM. 2PM debuted with the song "10 Out of 10" on September 4, 2008. They achieved their first number-one single with "Again & Again" in 2009, which contributed to them winning the 2009 MAMA Award for Artist of the Year.
