2nd generation · JYP Entertainment
ツーピーエム / 투피엠
2PM were called beast idols for the acrobatic routines and the sheer physical force of the stages, and the name stuck through the whole second generation.
Last updated:
Again & Again and Heartbeat made the group's reputation, while Grown and A.D.T.O.Y. opened a more adult R&B side; the Japanese albums and tours are a large part of the whole picture.
Come here if the physical side of Korean stage performance interests you more than concept work.

Heartbeat MVHeartbeat pushes the same intensity further and is the most theatrical of the early singles.
My House MVMy House is warmer and more grown-up, and shows the group well past the beast-idol label.1 daesang · 4 awards · 2 No. 1 finishes (compiled by KPOP DISCOVER, as of September 17, 2026)

What anchors 2PM is acrobatic choreography with a masculine stage, and a reach that extends into grown-up R&B. JYP Entertainment debuted the group on September 4, 2008 with 10 Out of 10, splitting it off from the same One Day project as 2AM and casting it as the group for the hottest hour of the day. Leader Jay Park left in 2010, and the seven at debut are six today.
Again & Again and Heartbeat lifted them sharply, and Without U and Hands Up kept the heavy beats and the masculine stage going. Grown and A.D.T.O.Y. deepened the grown-up R&B colour and showed a 2PM beyond the Beast Idol image. The Japanese albums and tours are plentiful too, so the Korean releases alone miss the whole picture.
My House kept being reappraised through video long after its release and is now a strong entrance that brings younger listeners back. Again & Again, then Heartbeat, then My House runs from the signature period through the surge to the reappraised entrance.
Editors' take Again & Again / Heartbeat / My House — three songs cover acrobatic choreography and a grown-up R&B colour in a JYP group.
No. 41 of 210 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 20%)
The denominator is the 210 groups, out of 525 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
