2PM Becomes Tourism Ambassadors, New MV Attracted 100,000 Views In A Day

Viewed 100,000 times in a day! Korea’s popular group 2PM became Singapore’s tourism ambassadors for free as they filmed all of the Lion City’s beauty when they were in town last month to film for their music video.

Swinging his golf club and overlooking the panoramic view of Marina Bay on high ground was the introduction of music video to 2PM’s new album’s title song, Hands Up. As we watch Nichkhun swinging to the vast sky, what caught our eyes were Marina Bay’s gigantic “Lotus Flower”, and the Central Business District in the background. 2PM were here in the Lion City on the 22nd last month, reportedly to support Rain at his concert but the 6 of them were a no-show as they were filming for their new album’s music video instead!

After Japan’s top group SMAP came to Singapore in March this year to film for a mobile phone commercial, 2PM came for a 2 days 1 night trip (T/N: Their trip was 4 days 3 nights, actually) to film for their new music video at the local well-known nightclub, Zouk, luxury villas at the Sentosa Cove, the Singapore Flyer, and the racetrack in the vicinity.

The production crew even rented a Lamborghini, a limousine, and a yacht; dream car and beautiful women, 2PM’s return after almost a year is, as expected, heavily spent on!

Before it was released, 2PM’s album had already been receiving a lot of hype as the record company released a 30-second video teaser on the Internet a week ago, receiving more than 1,000,000 views. The full-length music video was then released 2 days ago, receiving 100,000 views as of yesterday afternoon (T/N: It was released yesterday). The video was so full of our local scenes, it was as if 2PM were Singapore’s tourism ambassadors promoting the Lion City through a music video!
