Group 2PM will have their first self-titled variety program named '2PM SHOW'.

Cable TV channel, SBSE!TV, is planning to broadcast the variety program '2PM SHOW' featuring the six members of 2PM in the beginning of July. It is the first time for all the members to appear in a regular show in their own name.

One of SBSE!TV's producers, Kim Younggyu said "The main point is that all the 2PM members will be there. As a program where they will fulfill the viewer's missions, the 2PM members are considerably excited and looking forward to it".

On '2PM SHOW', in order for fans and netizens to communicate with them, they can participate by SNS. Additionally, '2PM SHOW''s production crew has set up surveys on twitter with questions like "Out of the members, who looks the most impatient?' 'Who looks like the most considerate father in the future?', 'Who looks like they will marry first?', etc. The plan is to make a program that is made with the fans, and they wholeheartedly welcome the fans to do the survey as well as give ideas.

Producer Kim introduces the program by saying "We are putting emphasis not only on a concept with 2PM's teen fans in mind, but as wide a range as those in their 20s~40s. We will not only ask things that are 2PM-like, such as 'raising a child as a dad', focusing on missions that will bring the entire generation together. We are also planning a cooking mission that will take away the beastly image they have as well."

When 2PM were newcomers, they participated in 'Wild Bunny', 'Idol army: She's here! Season 3', etc on the cable channel. After they became top stars, the six members they have not regularly appeared on one show. Especially since different things like overseas schedules as well as individual activities have made them busy, the fans will show an excited response to all the members gathering together to appear on one show.

Additionally, Producer Kim reports that "2PM had always dreamed of a program with their name on it. 2PM's schedule is actually very full, but because of their strong determination, it is doubted that there will be members absent during it."

Because '2PM SHOW' is one where the members directly MC and directly fulfill the missions, people are hoping that it will similar to the variety program in Japan 'SMAPxSMAP' by Japan's top group SMAP. '2PM SHOW''s first recording will be on the 16th. The broadcast date/time has not been decided yet.
