2PM is the group that coined the title "Beast Idols", which means they are very athletic, muscular and toned -- they had/have a much more masculine image then the typical boy group when they debuted. In their early days they were also known for their B-boy skills and for their tricking. As you can see, a lot of their early songs have choreography where they were doing a lot of tricks and tumbling, which was something new in the world of Kpop, and it made them unique. However, over the years they kind of stopped doing all the tricking in their choreography because they realized that they have to be able to perform these dances on music shows and live in concert, etc. and that meant they had to put a lot of extra training in to make sure they could execute the moves well. I remember in the early days, during their dry-run rehearsals for music shows, they were always falling or messing up and they would take a lot longer to film some of their performances because they were so stunt heavy. They debuted in 2008 -- only about 3 months after SHINee -- so this year is the group's 16th anniversary. Even though 2PM is a JYP group and SHINee is an SM group, in the early days, 2PM and SHINee appeared on a lot of variety shows together and they were often paired together. So, 2PM and SHINee are pretty close. This was the golden era of second gen. In 2PM's "My House", which came out in 2015, all the guys were different fairytale characters: > Junho -- who is a main vocalist and lead dancer -- is representing the White Rabbit in Alice and Wonderland, which is why you see the bunny. > Taecyeon (pronounced like Tock-Yeon or Take-Yeon) -- who is the main rapper and a vocalist -- was the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood. > Wooyoung -- who is the the main dancer and a vocalist -- has a poison apple like the evil queen from Snow White, which he is using to tempt the girl into being poisoned by him so he can manipulate her into falling in love with him. > Nichkhun -- who is a vocalist, rapper and the visual of the group -- is Prince Charming from Cinderella and he is standing next to his noble steed, the fancy car. > Chansung -- who is the maknae, a lead rapper and a lead vocalist -- was the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. > Jun K -- who is a main vocalist -- was Romeo from Romeo and Juliet. > And, of course, the girl is Cinderella -- we see her run from the party and leave her shoe on the stairs. Fun fact: Nichkhun is one of the first Thai Kpop idols, and people have nicknamed him "the prince of Thailand." Hence, why he was Prince Charming in the "My House" MV. :D (He's the one that most often has the English lines. Nichkhun and Taecyeon are fluent in English because their families lived in the U.S. for several years when they were growing up.) As you can see with their "10 Out of 10" and "Again & Again" MVs, they used to be a 7 member group which included Park JaeBeom -- Jay Park -- the founder of AOMG, which is one of the most well-known and influential hip-hop music companies in Korea. Jay Park is Korean-American and he originally was the leader of 2PM, but because of some misunderstandings and controversy he left the group about a year after debut and became a solo hip-hop artist and music industry mogul. As a teenager in Seattle, Washington, Jay Park was a member of a B-boy dance crew, so his skills as a dancer are where JYP got the idea for 2PM's group concept. "A.D.T.O.Y. (All Day Thinking Of You)" is the perfect example of why 2PM are called the original Beast Idols. They are all sexy men. Just wait until you see them perform this live in concert, believe it or not, some of their live performances of "A.D.T.O.Y. are even more sexy than this. LOL (In live performances they remove their neckties and use them for bondage and they even have a stage where they took off their belts. LOL) But the sexyness factor aside, you should check out some live performances of theirs because they are even better live. 2PM's fandom is named Hottest because 2PM is supposed to be the hottest part of the day. And they were actually created as the counterparts to JYP's ballad boy group 2AM. 2AM's fandom is named I AM because 2AM + 2PM = one day and when combined they become "I AM Hottest." The groups were sort of designed to be the polar opposites of each other as part of their concepts.
LMAOOOO when you noticed his butt I died... he said it's so big that he has back pains when he sleeps that shit was so hilarious when I heard it. Fun Fact: Nichkhun was the first ever thai idol essentially proving to the world/korea and other thai fans of kpop that it could be done. Without him we wouldn't have so many great thai idols today.
Hearing you describe Taecyeon as bubbly in Vincenzo tells me a lot about where you are in the drama🤭 Thank you for checking out my favorite KPOP group. They have come a long way since their debut and they continue to grow in their crafts every year. They never disappoint.🥰
Please react to "Hands Up", "Without You", "Make it" and their Japanese release "With me again"!! Also the ADTOY 2021 performance is A MUST!!! They all came out the military aging like fine wine!!! 🍷❤ also, taecyeon is pronounced with a K, so like "TEK-yun" (: thank you for checking this out! I was ctfu at the old MV's hahaha so cringe but so necessary back in the old days!
2pm has always had a very manly/sexy/mature image but you’re definitely correct that 2nd gen was probably the most open with those types of concepts & portraying it in their mvs! Some of the best examples I can think of with very “sexy” mvs are quit playing by ukiss & maybe abracadabra by brown eyed girls
2PM were all 18 and above anyway. The fact that many groups debut with the majority of members still legally minors makes it difficult for them to go sexy. That's why nowadays you see 3rd or 4th gen covering 2PM songs (esp My House) as if they were making a statement that "we are now MEN and not BOYS" anymore.
I hope you'll share more of your reactions to 2PM with us. I still follow them after all these years, and Taecyeon is my bias. I can tell how far along you are with Vincenzo based on your feelings about his character. I can't wait til you see more of the show. Taecyeon and Junho, in particular, have many dramas under their belts, and Taecyeon is going to be filming a boys love drama in Japan soon. I could go on and on about them, but please check out their latest single, Make it - - and I hope you love your journey into the 2PM discography!
As I'm not seeing anyone's comment on the pronunciation, here it is!😊 The 'c' in Taecyeon is pronounced as 'k' so the "proper" romanisation and pronunciation would be "Taek-Yeon". 2PM is one of my absolute favourite kpop groups and it truly warms my heart that more people are discovering them. ❤
Yes please more 2PM! They're one of the most chaotic kpop groups together with Super Junior and BtoB. Also not me thinking that I know what you're thinking at 29:14 cause same 😂😂 The member is Junho btw. Also, the song My House actually went viral like 6 years after its release because of a Junho fancam where he's performing the song. You should def check that fancam out, I think it has more than 8 million views right now. Thank you for the reaction!
I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS MY MOMENT, tks for this video reaction ♥ bro youre not ready for these next ones i promise - Heartbeat - Without You - I'll Be Back - I'm your man
Chansung is my bias. I love 2pm. In 10 out of 10 song both girls in that video were/are performers. The main girl is i believe g.na and the last girl is Yubin of the Wonder Girls. They were one of the most popular girl groups of their time. They dont promote now since most of them have families but yubin has her own company and solo work. If you ever listen to more older stuff you should listen to them.
FINALLY you're reacting to 2PM! ONE OF THE OG KPOP BG IN 2ND GEN KPOP. THE K-POP'S OG "BEASTLY IDOL". Please react to them more. You will not regret knowing these men. 🔥
Back then i was a casual listener of 2pm. And when they dropped ADTOY, all hell broke loose. 😂 The way mv reactors screamed. Hahahahaha. A single MV with a single watch took 15 mins to reacto to cause they keep hitting the pause button trying to breathe. 😂
Thank you for reacting to 2PM. I love how many first time fans did Taecyeon introduce to his group. Please react to their live performances because they are the best on stage
2PM did a BANGER of an outro for an anime called “Blue Exorcist” if you ever feel like listening to it in your free time lol idk if anyone here would care about a reaction to it besides me and maybe a couple other people ☠️ it’s sooo refreshing and sweet sounding, it always puts a smile on my face. It sounds like a sunny day, yknow? I love old corny songs like the ones in this video especially because seeing jay park in a group always makes me giggle lol
Take Off was the song that took me down the rabbit hole that is 2pm and kpop. I was so anti-kpop at the time, too, but I had to admit it was a great song. And the rest is history. -A Hottest since 2011
YYYYAAAASSSSS 2PM !!! That group got me into Kpop ! I watched kdrama with Junho, he was such a good actor i wanted to know what else he was doing. I got into his solo work ( the Canvas EP is amazing), and then try a few 2PM songs. ADTOY sold me! like the styling, the choreo and the vocals !! it screams 2010s but in a good way!!! I was obsessed with that song for a solid month. I watched every stage performance I could Including fancams. Their latest comeback is from 2021 and it's really really good ! They are seniors to both GOT7 and Stray Kids. And when you see their variety show you know where the crazy of their junior group originated ! Honestly they are as chaotic and funny ! hope you check out other music (and dance practices because they are crazy !! ) !
Omg I love 2pm let me tell you. They have been a part of a lot of parodies and a lot of parodies was done because of them. I remember people doing parodies on A.D.T.O.Y 😂 which is my song. But I love all the songs on the list
I just see for the first time !!! Jun K in concert in MEXICO ❤❤❤❤the last week and I more that certainly that they exist finally!! And I can swear that there is a moment that he look at me as I was in front of the scenery 😅😂😂 leave live in my dream please 🙏
You're genuinely one of my favourite reactors, so I'm so happy you're checking out one of my ult groups (SKZ is the other). But yeah, from debut until now 2PM has transformed from the wild beast idols to the sexy gentlemen of kpop, and nothing could make me happier lol. Any fan will tell you, their live stages are usually even better than their official recordings and MVs, so you may want to check it out. I do find it weird too that Junho has so little info in his section since he's now one of the most popular members. Like Taecyeon, he's also a successful actor and it makes perfect sense that those two brought you in because that's kind of how it plays out recently lol. Anyway, thank you for checking them out. I'm looking forward to more 😊
what you really gotta do is find the 2pm/2am dirty eyed girls parody to understand the group better (but also heartbeat is iconic) (also it's taec with a k sound like tech-yeon)
2PM are the guys who made it cool for idols to show their athletic side and ripped bodies during an era when the fashionable "flower boy" ("metrosexual" is probably the term in the western context that is closest) was still more common among Asian pop idols and celebrities. Their muscles aren't just a phase. Even the members who may look scrawny or have baby faces were and still are very physically fit.
I love watching your reaction videos as a 2nd gen fan. It’s really nostalgic watching this videos alongside you especially because of how thorough you are 😢
Thanks for reacting to 2PM, I got hooked on kpop because of them...hope you could check out more of their songs like Make It, Promise (I'll be) & Go Crazy
YAAAASSS 2PM BABY!!!! Glad to see you've reacted to them coz they were definitely the HOTTEST thing back in their time. :) Been following them since their debut. Their variety shows are so hilarious too! :)
Without You is one of my fave 2pm songs and Heartbeat is a super iconic one from them. 2pm and Girls Generation were the two it groups of their time so they got paired up a lot for variety shows, special stages, etc. They have a cf together Cabi which has a MV too!
PLEASE REACT TO MORE 2PM!! They’re sooooo good! I’ve been a stan since the very beginning. Please react to I’ll Be Back, Without You, Make It, Heartbeat and Hands Up!! Chansung is my bias!! You pronounce Taecyeon’s name as Tike-yun
A.D.T.O.Y. is really something else... i literally only have two shorts uploaded on my channel and one of them is a Junho A.D.T.O.Y. fancam from their Make It comeback showcase lmao that's how whipped i am
Like Monsta X they came from a reality show . And there beast idols. Definitely Men of kpop to me it’s got to be Lee Jun-ho but I love them all. There all really talented and most are really good actors as well
2PM omg the men that finally dragged me into Kpop! haha I got into the group because I would watch dramas with Taecyeon, Junho, and Chansung. My biases are Wooyoung as one of my ult biases and Jun.k as my vocal bias. Jun.k has some amazing solo discography. Jun.k, Wooyoung, and Junho have the most solo work in the group tho everyone has something. Please more 2pm my Hottest heart is so happy people are still discovering 2PM today. I recommend "HEARTBEAT", "Hands UP" "Without U" , "Go Crazy!"
Fun fact: Nickhun was the first Thai K-pop idol. A lot of Thai idols now still shout him out of as a mentor and big brother to them. Taceyeon’s name is pronounced with the first syllable like “tech/teck.” 2AM is mostly known for their ballads. “Hitman” Bang from Big Hit/Hybe has a few writing/production credits for 2AM. Jay was out of the group pretty early, actually. He left like a year/a year and a half after debuting. Also, the two girls in the “10 out of 10” M/V are also singers. The main girl is a soloist called G.Na, and the girl at the end is Yubin from the Wonder Girls.
Hello, to answer your question : Taecyeon is pronounced TaeKyeon :) Thank you for this, i got a bit of nostalgia 🥹 (i was a Hottest back in the days 🥹❤️)
You should do Go Crazy (heaps of fun) and Make It - another funky smooth song. I also really love HOT but there isn't a great video to go with that. I got into 2PM recently through Junho's acting and I have come to love the entire group. Such a great group of people and all of them super high achieving and talented and likeable. Love them all.
Sorry, but I laughed when you were surprised Jay had left before 2013, when in fact, Again and Again was his last incursion with 2PM. That song is iconic in kpop, and was very popular at the time, but their biggest hit was in 2009 with Heartbeat, that comeback confirmed the group's top spot in the industry, alongside Girl's Generation and Big Bang. You're even gonna get a small reference to it in Vincenzo, by Taec himself (the c in his name is pronounced as a k btw). My House also went crazy viral in 2020, after a Junho fancam resurfaced, so now that's the song from 2PM that most people cover, though Heartbeat was undefeatable in that matter for long years with its unique zombie concept
Oh if you liek vocals their brother group 2am is a mustttt Shout out for reigniting my love for A.D.T.O.Y lmao, went platinum in my room when it was released
Just so you know, 2PM is the only "men" group in kpop industry. Well known as the beast idols based on their manly bodies, abs, muscles and can do acrobatic dance moves ❤❤❤ The reasons to stan 2PM because they're different, manliest. They're not flower boys just like other boy groups. They're the most gentlemen group everrrr. More to goooo: - Comeback When You Hear This Song - Heartbeat - I'll Be Back - I'm Your Man (mv or dance ver.)
2PM are definitely the kings of KPOP. Current generations often use them as models. You just have to see how respected they are at JYP. They are talented, know how to sing, dance, compose and write....Each member respects the parts of the others and are very good friends in life. I like being among the Hottest for so long because they also know how to make us CRAZY about them (they still earned the name of "beast" of KPOP). I like seeing someone discover them like this without knowing anything about them, it's a joy your POSITIVE reactions to them THANK YOU. For information they are currently very active in their solo career but we hope to see them again very soon. They regularly make very very very very funny vlogs, go see. And if you look deeply you will notice that "My House" and "Make It" are linked in the background of the story ;) FOREVERFRENCHHOTTEST FOREVER2PM🐼🐥🐧🐨🍌🐱
You know, you bringing up Bang Chan doing the dance challenge for My House, they actually did do a full cover of the song as a group and it is AMAZING!!!
Yup.. Brace yourself.. There is a lot to check out from these guysss.. Hello.. Love your reaction and this was an amazing song selection.. Your reactiom when you saw Junho's 🍑 got me 😂 we can totally relate to that 🤭. Junho is known for that, He is the attractive butt of 2PM😉. Each member is amazingly unique.. Jun. K is known for his amazing vocal, Nichkhun for his visual, Taecyeon for his rap, Wooyoung for his dancing skills, Junho for his vocal, especially falsetto, and dancing skills and Chansung for his rap and vocal too. Each one of them have their own solos too. 2PM are like an ocean, we have to dive in and we come across so many treasures. Nowadays, most of them are into acting and their acting skills are 🔥. Junho is the first ever idol to have win the most prestigious award, the Baeksang Arts Awards for the best actor for his role in 'The Red Sleeve'. Ohhh.. There is so much to say about them.. Once you are into them, there is no escape 🤣. My ultimate bias is Junho.. If ever you get a time, do react to his solos.. You'll be amazed by how fine performer he is♥️. Fun fact: when 'My House' was released, it did gained popularity.. But, after 6yrs, when Junho was enlisted to military, a fan uploaded a fan-cam of Junho with red shirt dancing on 'my house' which went viral and the song regained so much popularity. You should definitely watch that fan-cam. So many are suggesting you to watch the recent ADTOY when they came back. You should definitely watch it, especially Junho's part. In the original, they were sexy but in the comeback version, they are more manlier and sexier, they just felt themselves when they danced. Looking forward to more 2PM reaction (both their Korean and Japanese songs) 😊 Thank you so much for such a lovely reaction ✌️
Love how you’re checking out old groups. Please react few more to 2pm. Heartbeat, without you, and I’ll be back are all really good catchy songs I think you might be interested in as well. Fun choreo. I hate you and tired of waiting are also really good songs. Lots of auto tune but still catchy. After jay park left, some rappers became singers. Love how their voices have grown so much. Very good voices!
This was a nice surprise. Please, react more to 2PM mvs, live performances, dance practices and the newest guide to 2PM by Gocrazygo2PM. You'll see how funny they are. After all that is said about 2PM, what made me really stay is their genuine love for each other.
again and and again hits different for me. I remember that after that they had their comeback with heart beat and jay wasn't there and ugh just what a time it was to be alive with the "is he or isn't he coming back?" and also seeing the members be upset over it.
Haha love 2pm they were so wild back in the day they have a whole variety show when they were freshly debuted of them sneaking out of their dorm to have fun and go to clubs and stuff the original beastly man idols, taecyeon is with a hard c so it’s kinda like tech, and a few members are actors like chansung has been in a few as well taecyeon and junho
