[News] JYP Hints at 2PM’s Comeback?


Park Jin Young, founder of JYP Entertainment, released a mysterious teaser video earlier today. In the video, he didn't reveal anything except for the piano intro, and fans have been speculating what to make out of it. But a recent Twitter conversation between JYP and 2PM's Wooyoung suggest 2PM's new song might be in the works.

JYP first mentioned 2PM in his Tweet on January 18. He said, "I filmed 'Five Million Dollar Man' in Busan till this morning and moved to Seoul to record 'K-Pop Star.' I finished 2PM's new song and also shot 'Dream High.' It feels like I'm dreaming after staying up 48 hours straight^^. But I'm so happy and thankful. To God and every one of you. I'm going to bed now~."

In the Tweet with today's teaser video, JYP said, "Which artist's song do you think it is?" Shortly after, 2PM's Wooyoung responded by saying, "Hyung~I think I know ^0^ kekeke." JYP wrote back, "Be quiet…^^," to which Wooyoung said, "Umhahaha^0^…Anyways hyung, don't you have something you want to tell me too??? Kk." JYP wrapped up their amusing conversation with, "One week later I will T.T Definitely~I will…" as Wooyoung answered, "Then I will get ready for it too!!! ^^."

Netizens who saw the conversation commented, "The teaser for 'Without U' in 2010 also started with a soft piano sound. This time again?" "It looks like 2PM's new song but it might be for 'Dream High,'" and "It's driving me crazy. Hurry up and let us know what it is, JYP!"

Is it going to be 2PM's comeback song or an OST track for "Dream High 2"? Or could it be JYP's own solo track? What do you think it is?

[News] 2PM’s Nichkhun to make acting debut in upcoming Thai movie project


For the first time, 2PM's Nichkhun will be acting in a Thai film production!

JYP Entertainment revealed, "Nichkhun will be participating in Thailand's major filmmaker GTH's 7 year anniversary movie project. Starting from the beginning of January, Nichkhun has been in Thailand filming. It will be Nichkhun's first time acting since his debut and the agency, the Thai staff, and Nichkhun himself are all very excited for this production."

GTH is well known for their movies such as 'Phobia2', 'Hello Stranger', and 'Bangkok Traffic Love Story'. For their 7th anniversary project, three directors will be drawing a story about life and love and will be released in three parts in an omnibus format.

Nichkhun will be in one of the three parts along with a famous Thai movie star. Nichkhun will play a major supporting character who helps the hero search for the meaning of love and life. Even though it is Nichkhun's fist time acting, his passion and hard work had led to endless praises from his seniors working with him on the set.

Nichkhun revealed his first thoughts on acting. He said, "Being an actor was my dream and I am giving my all to this production. Every time I go on set I get ambitious to work harder each day. Filming in front of a camera is a totally different experience from when I'm in front of a camera singing and that is why I am working twice as hard. I will comeback as a great actor."

Nickhun will be in Thailand until the end of January and will come back to Korea after finishing filming and ending the movie promotions.
