Popular boy group 2PM will star in a new variety program to go along with their upcoming comeback! Starting in July, "2PM Show" will broadcast on SBS's E!TV cable channel with all six members, and it will mark the first time 2PM emcees a program with their name on it. SBS E!TV's PD Kim Yong Kyu expressed great anticipation for the show, as he stated, "The key point is that all of the members will be included in the show. 2PM is showing great enthusiasm for the program, especially because the show will require the members to fulfill missions given to them by the viewers." "2PM Show" will heavily rely on social networking sites to communicate with fans and netizens alike. Currently, producers are utilizing the official "2PM Show"Twitter website to ask survey questions such as "Which member seems to have the least perseverance?", "Who is most likely to be the best father in the future?", "Who is most likely to get married first?", and more. PD Kim commented further by saying, "We will not only focus on 2PM's younger fan base, but also on their growing 20-to-40 year old fan base as well. The program will concentrate on unlikely mission topics like 'Be a father for a day' to appeal to a larger audience. 2PM will distance themselves from their 'beastly idol' image and will even take on a cooking mission as well." 2PM previously starred in cable shows like "Wild Bunny" and "Idol Army Season 3" during their rookie years. However, after their rise in popularity, it is rare for all the 2PM members to appear on a single show together. As such, fans are showing fervent support for the show, especially because of the busy overseas and individual schedules the members had to endure until now. Regarding 2PM's busy schedule, PD Kim replied, "The members have shown an interest in having a show with their own name before. It is true that 2PM has a tight schedule, but the members have a strong desire to carry out the program, so I do not expect members to pull out midway through." The members are hoping that their program will gain the same love and popularity that idol group SMAP managed to have with their program "SMAPxSMAP" in Japan. The first recording for "2PM Show" will start on June 16th and set for broadcast in early July. Source: Sports Chosun
