So what makes 2PM so great?

They are "Manly Handsome"

The group 2PM is known to be "beastly idols", meaning they are muscular (no skinny) and handsome. Nearly all the members of this group have been featured on the cover of Men's Health Magazine (showing their abs).

They are pretty darn funny and have no problem being that way

Fun and entertaining guests on variety shows

Great dance skills

Great stage presence

They Act as well

I didn't get all the clips, but all the members seem to have acted professionally in one way or another on some show. At least one member has been nominated for an award related to acting.

Are serious about doing their duty to their country

All citizens of South Korea have to serve in the military. These boys/men of 2PM take this very seriously. All, with the exception of Nichkhun who is a Thailand citizen, are due to serve their time in the military.

One member in particular, Taecyeon is known for his dedication to his South Korean heritage and citizenship by choosing to give up his American Permanent resident status (which could have gotten him out of the mandatory service). He also underwent surgery to fix a previously dislocated shoulder so he would pass the physical exam in order to be enlisted in active duty.

Now that you have learned a bit about these guys from 2PM, I'm sure you will enjoy watching some of their awesome music videos. Got a few here for you to enjoy.

Enjoy!

** A.D.T.O.Y. - 2PM**

I hope you enjoyed learning about 2PM
