On this day they arrived to Japan and over 100 fans began gathering at 8AM at Narita Airport to greet them. By the time that 2PM appeared past 10AM, 1000 people ardently welcomed them with the call of "2PM! 2PM!" At the interview, Nichkhun elevated the fervor with his words, "We're grateful to our fans who always come to Korea and cheer for us. From now on, we want to work hard in Japan. Please treat us well!"

2PM debuted in Korea on September of 2008 and this year, they've advanced into Japan with the DVD "Hottest～2PM 1st MUSIC VIDEO COLLECTION＆The History," released on November 24th. Hereafter, on December 8th, they will release their debut album, "1:59PM ~JAPAN SPECIAL EDITION~" and carry out their Platinum Showcase Live Performance at Tokyo's Ryokokugikan on the same day.

We want to show the characters that each one of us has."

Taecyeon said: "My muscles are muscular"
