2PM

2PM is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of 2AM, Yeji, DJ DOC, Ra.D and J.Y. Park. Those roots explain a lot about how 2PM arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Jun.K, MBLAQ, Beast, Infinite and Super Junior, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Got7, 2AM, miss A, Wonder Girls and Kim Se-yong, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 37 connections around 2PM, reaching back through 2AM and forward to Got7. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.

Background

2PM (Korean: 투피엠) is a South Korean boy band formed by JYP Entertainment in 2008 composed of six members: Jun. K, Nichkhun, Taecyeon, Wooyoung, Junho, and Chansung. Originally a seven-piece group, Jaebeom left the band in 2009. Unlike most Korean boy bands at the time, 2PM constructed a tough and masculine image through their intense performances often featuring acrobatic stunts and sex appeal. As a result, 2PM is known for creating the jimseung-dol phenomenon within South Korea. As the group grew older, they stopped incorporating acrobatics in their choreography routines and transitioned into a more gentlemanly image. The group has achieved commercial success in several regions in Asia, including South Korea, Japan, and Thailand, as a leading figure of the Korean Wave.
