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.
