FIRST REACTION to 2PM - AGAIN & AGAIN, HEARTBEAT, I'LL BE BACK & WITHOUT U MVs

[@zgarth1570]

Fun fact, "I'll Be Back" choreo is based on Terminator 2! For real! That's also why they incorporated some moves like the running/robot moves and the thumb up to the sky. 2PM was one of the first groups I encountered in my Kpop journey with "Again and Again". They have what we call a beast idol concept. You saw a few shirtless shots but there were even more during live performances.They had many almost cringy/cheesy songs like this but this is what we loved in 2nd gen indeed! They switch a bit their concept after with more wittiness songs (even if they had some before). Also for the info, 2PM had a JYP twin brother group named "2AM" which was 4-member boy group with a focus on ballads. They were less successful than 2PM but it would be great to see your reactions to them as well! Thanks for checking them and giving honest opinion as usual! 💜

2pm is such an iconic group! They are so funny and I loved them roasting JYP on variety shows. If you think Got7 is chaotic, they learned it from 2pm. :) Making fun of Heartbeat is probably a national sport by now. A lot of the members are also actors, and in most of their dramas they make fun of either Heartbeat or another 2pm song, which is hilarious (most recently Taecyeon in the drama Vincenzo). Also side note: Most of them are quite tall. The two tallest members (Taecyeon and Chansung) are 185.7 cm (6’1″) and 184 cm (6’0″). The shortest member (Junho) is 177 cm (5’10”). They are also pretty close with the members of SNSD and even shot a song/ad together. (Nichkhun and Tiffany even dated for a short while.)

[@vilmamy]

I think Junho would be very unhappy that you wrote his height only 1.77m. 😉 He always says that his height is 1.78 and that he are the same height as Wooyoung.

[@Miraiwhitelock]

2nd generation kpop groups will always be special to me since those groups got me into kpop. Thank you for the reaction! One of the maknaes of 2pm (Junho) was just released from from military so they're going to have a comeback soon!

[@fotomagrol]

I really like their songs, unique and good performances. On my top of songs from them A.D.T.O.Y , I keep listening to this soooong always

[@judiak]

Same i swear , and "my house"

[@SungieF]

I miss those times, 2PM was the first kpop group I "stanned". Got goosebumps hearing Without You for the first time in so long

[@doomray2468]

They're JYP's OG flippy dudes before GoT7 took over the mantle. You used to be able to have to learn acrobatics and decent b-boying to debut in a JYP bg back then

[@ZeeCaptain95]

"OG flippy dudes" 🤣 I'm definitely going to call b-boy dancers that now

[@oreydamichelle]

These are only songs from their first 2-3 years of their career! They have changed and grown so much and I feel that after Hands Up (2011) no one gave their music a chance in Korea because JYP shipped them to Japan for 2 years (until My House went viral last year 5 years later), they're still very much relevant bc almost all of them are actors / appear in variety shows but yeah. They'll have a cb soon this year after 5 years of enlistment hiatus I'm so excited to see what they have in store! I know you will love ADTOY, Promise and Comeback When You Hear This Song. Their japanese discography is also chef's kiss 😌. Looking forward to part 2!

[@gocrazygo2pm]

Loved your reaction!!! 2PM has so many iconic songs and their mvs are always so fun to watch! Can't wait for part 2 so you can check "A.D.T.O.Y" "Go crazy" "My house" and "Hands up" too :)

[@nmiizue]

UP UP UP UP

[@poetoftragedy]

Hearing 2PM always makes me feel like the age I was when I started listening to them over a decade ago. Their early stuff is pure nostalgia, their later stuff is still on repeat as enduring favourites. My ult group of that generation, with one on my ultimate biases from all of kpop (top 5 for sure), Jun K -such a cranky exhausted grandpa, such a savage party animal, LOVE the songs he writes

[@ethereaIice]

I never clicked as fast as before BUT OMG YOU’RE REACTING TO MY ULT MAIN AAAA 2ND GEN, RISE UP! ❤️ My hottest heart is soooo happy! 4:27 Idk if you noticed or what, but that was Jay Park. He was 2PM’s former leader until Again and Again era. He left the group due to some controversy. 9:31 this song has been stuck in my life since forever LEGENDARY Actually 10 out of 10 was 2PM’s debut song. I don’t know if you included it on your list but I’m hoping to see your reaction on that one. ☺️ 2PM was also considered as BEASTDOLS of 2nd gen because of their masculine image + acrobatics was one of their trademarks during their first few years after debut.

[@cocorice7723]

great reaction :) I hope you react to this song called Cabi Song - it is a promotional single by 2pm and SNSD (Girls' Generation). It was released in 2010 to promote the Caribbean Bay water park at Everland Resort. I don't know if you knew about this but there were some dating rumours between 2pm's Taecyeon and SNSD's Yoona in 2009 and both of them then appeared on Strong heart (a talk show) and explained they're just really close friends :) And in 2011 Taecyeon had a dating scandal with Jessica, they were spotted together in Tokyo. But Taecyeon explained that he was in Japan for work and was exercising and when he heard Jessica was also in Japan, he thought they should meet for coffee because they're friends, that's it :D And Nichkhun from 2pm and Tiffany from SNSD dated in 2014 but they're not together anymore :(

[@nurshakalaka8993]

Omg super nostalgic for me as a 2nd gen fan!! I think 2PM's concept was mainly beastly and manly idol style. They molded into a more classy and charismatic concept in their later comebacks like My House. And you can see that JYP was very into the acrobatics in their choreography with both 2PM and GOT7 attempting those.

[@littleheavenpg]

Thanks so much Karen for requesting this. It makes my day whenever I watch a new youtuber react to 2pm. I love 2pm and I think they are so under appreciated nowadays. I really enjoyed watching this reaction. And I'm really looking forward to the next episode. Wondering what are the 3 remaining MVs. My guesses are hands up, A.D.T.O.Y and my house.

[@mysweetie101]

The very first group that I saw live and the only group I've seen more than once. Kings. Legends. 🤴

[@soniciris]

This was SUCH a good time and we haven't even reached my favorites yet :> I really love 2nd gen choreo, it's so catchy! And it's cheesy but in such a...wholesome way? Like, angsty teens unironically love this stuff and I decided years ago to fuck the system and respect the interests of teens in general and teenage girls in particular.

[@TheKimweasley]

I LOVEEEE 2pm. They're such a man group, like idk how else to put it. They've always had a very mature song and concept but they are seriously the biggest dorks. My personal favorite are ADTOY, Hands up, and Crazy. But then again, i'll be back gets stuck in my head at least once a month. I do think you'll like their newer more Rnb songs. Also would be interesting for you to watch their debut mv because I literally cannot imagine anyone else debuting with that song and video anymore. Overall I love these dorks and love watching their live performances. Great reaction!

[@hembergerchissteak7008]

Their music is good but their live performance is something to look out for.

[@osolehwio]

This was very nostalgic, thank you for the reaction! I'm honestly excited for them to come back now that they're all out of the military, and to listen to what they'll come out with~

[@vadalma_dorka]

If you want dramatic mvs please please please do an early FT Island video once. Those are iconic 😂

[@dayjimong]

My fav is Hope 😂

[@luhschneider]

Yes! All the drama in their MVs ❤️❤️❤️

[@kimeki95]

Without You was my very first 2PM song I saw on Music Bank and it's still my favourite 2PM song until now

[@johans9866]

You can watch their more recent ones like Hands Up, Go Crazy (party version) , ADTOY and Promise I'll be. And they have so many songs that don't have MVs but the live performances are to kill for. Their Japanese discography is freaking good.

[@nmiizue]

UPPPPP

[@xraininaugustx]

2PM is the group that introduced me to Kpop. I dunno which songs are in part 2, but if Hands Up, Go Crazy or Come Back When You Hear this Song aren't in it, then you should definitely check those out for a glimpse of their super fun side.

[@sarahl9398]

Second gen diehard here. Thank you for this. I remember the days of bopping and thirsting to 2pm like it wasn't a decade ago 😭😭😭

[@multik8951]

Just wanna say 2pm is also known for live stage performance hope you could react to their live stages😁😁

[@pyter418]

I understand the emojis 😅

[@fatimahblaiselumangco9423]

Kinda know the story behind those emojis hahahahaha

[@releasethebeastbimini1025]

My very first ult group, I love them so freaking much. Thank you for reacting to them, hope you will keep doing so even after part 2 !

[@galaxyo2538]

These songs bring 2PM the nickname: Original Beast idols and from now on every M.V you watched from them is from another era: club songs or sexy/manly.

[@sorakng]

2nd gen is really GOLD! No one can do what they had done before, also because they're the one who set the standard for nowdays gen.. Okay I miss my 2nd gen group even more now

[@Jenniizi]

I need more for them! I really love it!!

[@mikonoz]

I always love 2nd generation songs, most of their songs really nice to keep listening all day long. Very nostalgic when thinking about those years.

[@kisa1909]

I liked what you said about each generation laying a foundation for the next. I think that's especially evident with 2PM because a couple of the groups that added things with tumbling and tricking some years later cited 2PM as their role model for doing it. I can't wait 'til you get to their newer stuff. I love Go Crazy and Come Back When You Hear This Song the most.

[@3threefatcats]

These are the most emotional years for them. The hardest years yet beautiful years for their music. If you read the translation of their lyrics is all sad. Keep on listening to all their comeback songs you can see the transition and maturity in their music.😊🤩

[@liskapieterse5681]

I don't know if you know, but the guy in Again and Again that you said was a good dancer is Jay Park. He was the leader of 2pm for the first 2 years after their debut. I feel people forget that.

[@doomray2468]

My absolute all-time ult bg along with Infinte and SHINee. 2nd gen Kings. PERIOD

[@Soreejillah]

2pm was the first kpop group I ever biased, so it was really fun watching these! It's been awhile and watching the mvs back to back made me realize how dramatic their earlier music was. 🤣 Good stuff, can't wait for the next reaction!

[@gabih023]

without u is also my favorite from their older songs, but I love them all. 2PM is the group that got me into kpop back in 2011 and I can't wait for you to check out more stuff from them.

[@risingsunshine1624]

Aaah baby 2PM! Again and Again and Heartbeat were especially iconic back then... but yeah, all of them were very popular I guess. Anyway, it's always so interesting (and kind of funny) to me to see you react to some older stuff since I've been listening to kpop since 2005 and I've been there for all of this when it first came out haha..

[@dayjimong]

I miss those time 😭❤ that when i was little kid like elementary vibing this songs lmao

[@2PM2PM2PM]

Hottest since Go Crazy era (late 2014). I’m excited for your second video. Their early stuff is not my favorite, with a few exceptions, Without U being one. They don’t lip sync, so if you liked that song even a little, their 2016 live version is perhaps their best performance of that song ever - the bridge gives me chills. I VERY highly recommend it. (Search “Without U 6Nights”) If you liked the strings in Heartbeat, the intro to Heartbeat at their 2016 Tokyo Dome concert was played with ~40 live strings on stage. (I flew 11 hours to Japan just for this show.)(Search “heartbeat 2pm Tokyo”) I sincerely hope Karen included Go Crazy. It’s completely different. That title track and My House were written by the oldest member, Jun. K. The dance practice video is hilarious.

[@melc9921]

Love 2pm newer stuff is so good A.D.T.O.Y is one of my favourite kpop ever

[@harliyana]

Even if they looked intense in their MVs and performances, 2PM NEVER took themselves seriously. They are all just crazy. I love them! P/S: In one of their last concerts before the slew of military enlistment in Japan, Woo's part in Without You made me really teary. His voice. I miss Woo's voice like no other.

[@najihahzahidah802]

2PM will have their comeback this yearrr!!! Look forward to itt!!!

[@12yeppo]

2pm what can i say about them..i just love them😍😍😍from their debut until now..😍😍2nd gen kpop are different from now gen..🥰🥰🥰

[@StanMiihii]

Thank you for this!

[@analuciaalmonte5091]

Yesssssss, more 2pm!

[@mysteriousvip9230]

2PM the hottest time of the day indeed 🔥🙌

[@edaedovald2268]

They were my first group lol thanks to some cover dance group doing Go Crazy I stumbled upon them, then Got7 and evenually everyone else xD

[@nk6781]

They’re incredibly talented and funny I’d love to see you reacting to them more

[@syusyu1563]

Fun fact 2PM is called the beast idol of their generation and the tittle passed down to Monsta X for the next gen 😁

[@hyerinseo4672]

Finally🤧🤧 I've been waiting for this 🤧🤧

[@fotomagrol]

2Pm....a really great boy group...on my list of music....yeah geeat performers ..and their sooloos tooo

[@sayakayukimura858]

Amo 2PM, los conocí con la canción "Again and Again", ellos me raptaron a este mundo del kpop. Lo gracioso es que fue hace dos años, se puede decir que inicie desde los grupos de la Generación 2.5 del kpop, entre cada presentación que veía de ellos (2PM), me invitaba a investigar y la curiosidad me llevó a uno, después a otro y sin darme cuenta, mi inicio de KZbin se llenó de los nuevos grupos y esa fue mi perdición. ^3^ Gracias por reaccionar, un saludo desde Colombia. Pd: Te recomiendo la canción de A.D.T.O.Y, MY HOUSE Y PROMISE (I'll be)

[@sunshineorstorm]

this was so much fun to watch, there's something about 2nd gen that is very entertaining, if you're just opened to it

[@ZeeCaptain95]

I have to say even though I always found 2pm's emotional/angsty stuff to be really cheesy, I still love it. I like "Come Back When You Hear This Song" and "A.D.T.O.Y. (All Day I Think about You)". As for more classic 2nd gen stuff, I think MBLAQ is another to look into. Like a lot of cringy 2nd gen names, theirs stands for "Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality. Songs to check out: Oh Yeah Y Cry Stay Mona Lisa This is War Smoky Girl

[@nmiizue]

UPPP

[@ironsidemajor]

2PM are making a comeback sometime this year

[@akanekodiviega]

2PM aka the beastly idols!!!!!!!!!!!! Known at first for the acrobactics and being buff XD I love them!!!!! Their earliest music is the typical JYP style. Glad it changed now XD "I'll be back" was my first comeback with them, and, OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THE MAKE-UP!!! Bwahahahaha XD They are a suuuuper fun group!!!! The only shows that comes to my mind to check out is Wild Bunny and 2PM show. But they are old, dunno if you can still find them. You were lucky if there was 480p XD 720p, what's that????? XD and we had to wait days for the subs XD Now people have no patience and demands subs at the same time it came in Korea and get grumpy if they have to wait 2 hours. More hours, more grumpy and demanding they get.

[@MinMin-cq7hk]

Want more 2PM and SHINee's reactions. Love it

[@koog008]

i dont like boy groups. but 2pm was my favorite bg back then. heartbeat was the only song that i performed as a choreo. fun times. i love without u. still listen to it to this day.

[@suzandagher6189]

Fun fact 18:50 this guy over here(wooyoung) couldn't sing his part during the promotion because he had some vocals issues....but when he recovered, he sang that part from his heart and it was EPIC!! see the stage version of it (@6Nights)

[@eveshamps]

2PM são talentosos demais. Já estou com saudades deles.

[@newyorkshitty7811]

2PM is Legend

[@kimeki95]

One of the 2nd gen legends along with SHINee ❤️

[@leoynadamas7227]

13:55 esa cara de concentración que pone es cuando el poder de I'll Be Back te consume y la disfrutas a full 😆❤️

[@littleheavenpg]

4:38 He's tall for real. He's 184.

[@suzandagher6189]

Now that you've seen heart beat...you should see niziu's cover of it ...if you're thinking "who's niziu?" ...it's Japanese-Korean girl group under jyp and Sony labels

[@zuizuiqwy5703]

I think you shud watch 2pm variety vids, or guides etc, im kinda jyp stan, n i see that you like got7 n day6, so probbably you gonna be hooked by them too.. 2pm is like the silliest group ever like they r the legend of making big laughter n basically just a bunch of comedians 😂😂

[@Sorin96]

Because of nizi project i much prefer I'll be back japanese version, but it's still a bop tho!

[@lillchen2020]

Hopefully you'll check out Mblaq in future ^^ they're also an amazing 2nd gen boygroup ♡

[@gilliebeann]

Thank you for this! Dang, it's so weird to hear jay park's voice in again and again

[@sk-ib7lv]

you gotta react to (2pm mama2010 stage) it's a masterpiece

[@seputehsalju]

Seconded!! The most iconic MAMA stage ever!

[@shadwmeme7816]

[@singledout92]

waiting for u to react BEAST MVs 😊

[@parvathyashok4113]

Ah 2PM when Jay Park was still part of it. (Yup the same Jay Park who released songs like Me Like Yuh)

[@tirahoho1886]

[@hajarjulaihi6427]

[@exekyute]

Hands Up might be familiar to you too since the girls performed it on SIXTEEN. owo

[@merv7375]

I blame JYP for the autotune. He was in love with it.

[@uzumakinash4913]

Hiiii!!! I hope you're doing great!!! P1HARMONY is coming back with their first comeback this april 20, I hope you would check them out!!!! I hope you could also check out these videos of them!!! P1harmony billie Eilish dance medley cover P1HARMONY 1thek original vocal history. And they're also having solo teasers for all the songs in their album from april 7 to 9 and april 12 to 14, I hope you could check it out as well!!! Thank you!!! Love lots stay safe always 🙏❤️

[@acva_90]

I laugh so hard when you said i'll be back just like terminator

[@kristenm.196]

I'm a hottest, been a hottest for a decade and I find it really hard to listen to Again and Again, Heartbeat and I'll Be Back... they're just not great imo. Without U I love, especially their performance of it at 6nights! But I think their music got leaps and bounds better once they were allowed to write their own. The Grown album was really the beginning of that (though there were a couple of songs they wrote on earlier albums). Also, yes, Chansung is tall (6'0") and Taec IS their climbing gym (6'1") lol.

[@zXNateDoggXz]

Ah yes again and again, idk if you knew but jay park was the leader of 2pm before all the controversies

[@sweerjae9129]

Watch Again & again stray kids version in front of JYP 🔥
