Korean group, 2AM, recently announced that they have plans to start debuting in Japan next year. The four member group is the brother group to another idol group, 2PM, who have already debuted. The boys were given this group name because their music carried a harmonious tune that could be listened to even at 2am in the morning. With the members of 2PM, 2AM appeared on the program "Hot Blood" that was produced by Korean television company Mnet. The two subgroups had been of a group known as "One Day". The first branch of the group reflected the time of a calm day while the second reflected the hottest time of a day. 2AM began to debut in 2008.

In Korea, 2AM received quite a lot of success. Their one single “Can’t Let You Go Even If I Die” in 2010 was the most downloaded single which led them to be awarded a Golden Disc Award. They were paired with 2PM to form "One Day" and they ended up sharing the same training gym and office. They look forward to become one group in Japan as well.

2AM will be the first chorus group from Korea to land in Japan. Their plans are to release their first album in Japan before the release of their first Japanese single, which will be coming out in the beginning of next year. JYP Entertainment, 2AM's agency company has already revealed that they will be holding an event at Saitama Super Arena on August 17 and 18 where they will showcase their artists. 2AM and 2PM members both look forward to showing their performances on stage.

2AM hopes that their debut in Japan will allow Japanese music lovers to go beyond the K-POP=Dance mindset by bringing in their soft and peaceful voices and songs in their ballad market. They hope to be recognized for their vocal skills.
