4Minute’s producer steals the spotlight with his artwork »

At recent studio recordings of Mnet’s M! Countdown and KBS2 Music Bank, top Japanese labels - Sony, EMI, and AVEX - sent their representatives to do a little scouting on the beastly 2PM boys in Korea.

They anticipated the comeback performances of 2PM’s Without U and also closely observed other performances at the Anycall Corby Family Festival on April 24th at the Seoul Olympic Fencing Stadium.

Japanese label representatives are interested in 2PM because of the charisma that shows through their strong performances and manly beauty, matching their ‘beast idols’ nickname. Together they agreed, “There is no male group in Japan that shows that kind of style” and it has become known that they saw in 2PM a high potential for success [in Japan]. It also appears that they have calculated the need to look for new Korean stars that can replace the great popularity of the recently-dissolved DBSK in Japan.

2PM’s company JYP Entertainment revealed that 2PM is indeed in the middle of advancing plans for Japan. Fans are interested in seeing whether 2PM’s advancement into Japan will result in their being ‘the 2nd DBSK.’

I hate this. 2pm is 2pm ...not the next DBSK ~

Agreed raspberry and I find 2PM to be hotter >.<


Yeah, “recently-dissolves” makes it so heartbreaking, though we’re all hoping that everything will be back to normal soon.

To be honest, I really don’t like it when groups are compared. I like 2PM and I love DBSK, but they’re both very different groups, first of all...and music and such is all about preference, so comparing groups like that is really unfair.

And again, considering how different these groups are....it really makes the person who’s comparing sound completely ignorant to the group themselves, like they have no idea what the styles--even GENRES are like.

On a lighter note, yay for 2PM gaining popularity!

I find the use of the phrase “recently-dissolved DBSK” very insulting. Yes it is a indefinite hiatus, but that does not mean they have dissolved. I’m getting irritated with the media calling just about everyone lately “the 2nd DBSK” and constantly saying “replace”. The media seems intent on stirring up trouble between fandoms.

The “2nd TVXQ” if there has to be one, in terms of being a Korean group becoming big in Japan as it seems the media is using the phrase as being, should be considered Big Bang or F.T. Island as they are the two Korean groups that (from what I know) have really been doing a lot in Japan.

Good luck to 2PM though, I’m glad they’re getting some overseas interest and I hope they do well with their comeback.

But let’s keep in mind there will never be a 2nd TVXQ, just as there will never be a 2nd 2PM. In the hearts of true fans they’ll never be replaced.

I agree about that! it’s very insulting really! pls! If you say that DBSK already dissolved, how about the cassies??


2pm’s good no doubt about that but DBSK “will be back”!!!! no one can replace them really.


I hate this. 2pm is 2pm ...not the next DBSK ~


HAHAHHA. don’t make me laugh. sorry, hardcore dbsk fan here :[
they might make it as 2pm, but not the next dbsk.
aish. i get so annoyed when people compare dbsk to other groups.


Hm wow. They both have very different styles. 2PM should just stick to their own image, while DBSK should just stick to theirs.


I’ve never heard anyone use “recently-dissolved DBSK” but its saddening to hear :(

DBSK has reached high standards to be compared with other groups. I like 2PM but no one can achieve great success similar to my boys’. But Goodluck to these Hot Men. May they do great. smile


i love 2pm, but no.
i think 2pm is most known for one of their members leaving than their music.


you can obviously see that all these people who are posting here really devoted fans to DBSK...like myself smile
in our hearts, DBSK can NEVER be replaced.
[kinda off topic] clearly proving how faithful WE are compared to some people who would resell lottery tickets >_< why doesnt AVEX send US some tickets? ^^


They’re good but not that great. I dont think thats possible.


haha. watever. just go man. no one’ll stop you. do some jrock on ur way as well, that’ll make me happy lol


I hope they’ll get reeeeaaally popular but no one can ever replace TVXQ sorry 2PM >.< 2PM <3! Forever supported!!!


NO NO NO NEVER, 2PM IS NOT DBSK. DBSK IS DBSK D’:
I think it’s not very good to keep comparing DBSK with other bands because they’re irreplaceable :/ (No offence to 2PM and fans)


2pm is different from DBSK…
but good luck to them


i’m not so sure about that but goodluck to them.


I think that 2PM can move up, away from the controversy that built up from the recent Jay incident. But they did win.. something, was it M! Countdown? It will take some time. And DBSK wasn’t instantly popular when they first performed in Japan. It definitely will be hard for them, they have lots of stuff going on. But do-able ;] If they do decide to break into the Japan music industry, I wish them lots of luck! THey will have so much competition xD Especially with the big name Jonny Ent groups, like Arashi, NEWS.. etc. And with .... the trio ;D xD I wish them luck if they do!


I already ranted about the whole each artist to their own thing back in Tuc’s thread about Big Bang being the next DBSK, so I won’t repeat myself here, but...yeah, DBSK is DBSK. 2PM is 2PM. There really isn’t a comparison in terms of style. 2PM might be the next DBSK in terms of popularity (which in itself is really hard to do and I kind of doubt it at the moment with all the controversy going on), but DBSK is special in their own right and 2PM can never be like them. To be fair to 2PM, DBSK can be like 2PM either, so…


yeah..
miss DBSK sooooo much..
i’m still waiting..
DBSK Hwaiting!>__<


2PM is talented but they’re very different from DBSK and I doubt they would be able to replace them. miss DBSK T-T

I love 2PM, and I really glad that their comeback was successful. but they can never replace DBSK, in anyone’s hearts. I mean, they can definitely be as successful as DBSK, but they can’t ever replace. And music-wise, their style is completely different- DBSK’s songs fall more on the ballad and dancy? side, like with i guess pop music? I not sure how to categorize mirotic, Rising Sun, Survivor, etc. all the dancy songs xD but Love in the Ice, why did I fall in love with you, etc are obviously great ballads. Whereas 2PM is more the hiphop group, the beastly hip hop group. I really think they have great potential to be succesful in japan, and they might ahve the beastly style that has not been seen in japan yet, but DBSK will always be DBSK, and 2PM will always be 2PM. If they work at it, they can achieve that popularity :] But they can’t replace DBSK<3 sorry, I think I just went off on a rant @_@

woah…
you’ve read my mind..
i can’t say no more..
i’m totally agree with you..
i love 2PM but they’ll never replace DBSK in my heart..


well i honestly dont think any other group could ever replace them because there like so epic but i think other groups can be as equally awesome lol


DBSK for eva u.u
