Originating from Korea, 6-member male dance group 2PM's Japan debut single "Take off" (released May 18) has made it's first entrance on the May 30 Oricon Weekly Single Chart at 4th place. 59,000 copies were sold in the first week, exceeding the 45,000 copies 9-member girl group SNSD sold for their Japan debut single "GENIE" (released September of last year) in its first week, thus recording the highest amount sold in the first week for any Korean group's debut single ever (excluding units, etc, derived from groups).
Called "Beast Idols" in Korea with their disciplined physical beauty and powerful, dynamic performances, 2PM is a 6-member group comprised of Taecyeon (22), Nichkhun (22), Wooyoung (22), Junho (21), Junsu (23), and Chansung (21). The release of their Japan debut DVD 'Hottest~2PM 1st MUSIC VIDEO COLLECTION & The History~' in November last year recorded the highest ranking of any Korean male group debut DVD at 4th place.
