[News] 2PM to release their first concert DVD, “DON’T STOP CAN’T STOP”


2PM will soon be releasing their first concert DVD, which includes behind-the-scenes action from their 'DON'T STOP CAN'T STOP' tour.

On July 28th, CJ E&M stated, "To commemorate 2PM's first solo concert that was held last year, a special DVD titled 'THIS IS FOR MY HOTTEST' will be released."

The DVD consists of 3 CDs containing special HD clips of the concert that brought 38,000 fans to their feet. It also captures performances of 2PM at 'MULA' (Mnet Ultimate Live in Asia), as well as clips from the 2010 MAMA, Mnet's 'M! Countdown' and '20's Choice'.

The DVD is set to be released through various online sites as well as in off-line music shops.

Meanwhile, 2PM will hold their second solo concert '2PM HANDS UP ASIA TOUR' in September starting in Seoul, and will tour Japan, Thailand, and other Asian countries for about 2 months.

[News] 2PM’s Junho wanted to have f(x) Krystal on the track of ‘Hands Up’

On the recent broadcast of SBS Strong Heart, 2PM's Taecyeon, in his story 'Rejected by f(x)' Krystal', told that 2PM band members wanted a female celeb to sing on 'Hands Up'. When they were considering possible candidate for the job, they all agreed on Yu Na Kim. But, she couldn't make it due to scheduling conflicts. The next female singer on their list was Krystal from f(x).

The most striking thing that Taecyeon told on the show was that Junho wanted Krystal the most for the track. Junho was inspired by Krystal's performance in Pinocchio. Because of JYP's advice to 2PM members, they asked Krystal personally and she agreed to do it. Taecyeon indicated that Junho was very excited by her approval.

However, due to Krystal's age (She's only 18), she couldn't appear on the track since 'Hands Up' lyrics deal with adult subjects like clubbing and drinking.



Krystal said that she really wanted to do this track because it has such a nice melody. Taecyeon suggests to her to do it on the spot and she sings it on the show.

[News] 2PM's Taecyeon dodges questions on how he knows Jessica’s number

On July 27th, 2PM's Taecyeon guested on SBS's 'Strong Heart' and talked about his 'business relationship' with SNSD's Jessica.

The segment began with 2PM talking about how they failed to cast f(x)'s Krystal to feature in their latest track, "Hands Up". Taecyeon said, "J.Y. Park told us to ask Krystal ourselves, but I'm the one who communicates with SM so I sent the text to Krystal to ask."

Taecyeon revealed that he wanted Kim Yuna at first but gave up after turning on the TV and seeing news reports of Kim Yuna leaving for Russia. "All of the members then chose f(x)'s Krystal, but out of everyone, Junho was the most enthusiastic about casting her."

Krystal accepted the offer, but the entire recording was unfortunately canceled because of the song's lyrics containing lines like, 'Enjoying the club', and 'Let's drink'.

As she is a minor born in 1994, representatives felt that the song was unsuitable for Krystal. Eventually, the song was turned over to Wonder Girls' Sohee.


MC Kang Ho Dong pressed, "How did you find out Krystal's phone number?" Taecyeon replied, "I found out through SNSD's Jessica."

Super Junior's Eunhyuk then raised suspicions by asking, "Nichkhun and Victoria are a virtual couple so you could have asked Nichkhun to find out Krystal's number. Why did you go through Jessica? Even I don't know Jessica's number."

Kang Ho Dong continued by asking, "Do you know the SNSD members' numbers?" Taecyeon replied, "I don't know all of their numbers."

Pressing further, Kang Ho Dong asked, "Is it only Jessica's number you know then?" Put on the spot, Taecyeon finally responded, "I don't talk to Jessica often. I call her when I have a favor to ask."

Fellow guest Kim Young Chul made the studio burst into laughter by commenting that the two were of 'business relations' then.
