2PM reunion concert planned for the summer

2PM will hold a concert during the summer, according to JYP Entertainment on Wednesday.

JYP Entertainment is making preparations for the concert, adding that the dates and venues have not been confirmed yet.

The concert is the boy band’s first in nearly six years. 2PM’s last concert together was “6Nights” in 2017. The boy band held an online fan meeting in September 2021.

2PM debuted in 2008 as a seven-member group, with Jun. K, Nichkhun, Taecyeon, Wooyoung, Junho, Chansung and Jay Park. Jay Park left the group a year later after an old Myspace post resurfaced and was considered by some to be offensive. While Taecyeon left the agency in 2018 and Chansung in 2022, the members agreed to continue their group activities under JYP Entertainment.

2PM has released a number of hit songs, such as “Again & Again” (2009), “10 out of 10” (2009) and “My House” (2015).
