> **2PM** (투피엠) is a South Korean Boy Group that debuted in 2008. They consist of 6 members: Jun. K, Chansung, Jang Wooyoung, Junho, Nichkhun and Taecyeon. 

They have 6 songs among the most popular in Korea.

2PM was formed by JYP Entertainment through the documentary series 'Hot Blood Men', which followed the trainees who were eventually split into the ballad-focused 2AM and the dance-focused 2PM. Under the mentorship of Park Jinyoung (JYP), the group deviated from the "pretty boy" archetype prevalent in the late 2000s, pioneering the "beastly idol" (jimseung-dol) image characterized by their muscular physiques, acrobatic choreography, and masculine stage presence.

A significant turning point in their history occurred in 2009 when leader Jay Park departed the group following a public controversy regarding past social media posts, leading 2PM to continue as a six-member group. Despite this upheaval, they achieved massive domestic and international success, particularly in Japan, where they became one of the most prominent Korean acts of the decade. 

Following a hiatus for mandatory military service, the group made their anticipated return to the industry in 2021, reaffirming their longevity and influence as one of the definitive acts in the evolution of male performance groups.
