The Debut of a Group of Good Looking Guys
Landing in Japan

they're called, "Beast Idols" and now 2PM, who are in the midst of their big break in Korea,
are finally commencing their activities in Japan!

Photographer: Miura Daisuke
Stylist: Park Yuna

[Ommited introductory information]

When we actually met all the members, we were astonished by the length of their arms and legs and the smallness of their faces! To begin, the photographer asked them to jump and (Taecyeon) replied to this first staff request with a smile saying "Please trust us with this, it's our strong point." Their extremely high jump was too cool~

Without delay, please tell us your own personality in one statement !
Junsu: I'm a nice guy!
Nichkhun: I guess I'm thoughtful.
Junho: I'm like fire.
Chansung: So cool!!
Taecyeon: I'm optimistic and proactive.
Wooyoung: I'm meticulous.

The Strongest Bodies of the KPOP World
2PM

Their individual personalities are diverse but these six people are very close. Even now, they're living together in the same dorm. Well, here are there messages to Japan's high-school girls :

Junsu: Although it’s important to have fun, if you have a dream, I think the coolest thing is to take on that challenge of your dream. As you go towards your dream, fighting! (Do your best!)

Junho: You’re in the most important time of your own life so it’s essential to make friends who you will fit with for the rest of your life.

Taecyeon: It’s important to study but I want you to have fun and make memories happily!

Wooyoung: Let’s have fun, yeah!

Nichkhun: I want you to experience anything and everything. So that you won’t become an adult and be burdened with regret, I think it’s good to do whatever you want. Provided you earn the approval of your parents.

Chansung: Errr… I’ve completely said everything I wanted to say (laughs). Hmm, read books, that’s what [I want to say]. I regret not having read books [in the past] but I’m reading now because of that.
