Predebut

The members of 2PM all auditioned to become part of JYP Entertainment, to which the Wonder Girls also belong. Some members held their auditions in other countries; for example, Park Jaebeom, Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul auditioned in the United States. Other members already had experience in the entertainment industry prior to their acceptance into JYP Entertainment, such as Kim Junsu, who had won various singing competitions, and Ok Taecyeon, Lee Junho and Hwang Chansung, who had participated in the show 'SuperStar Survival'.
2PM's and 2AM's training days were filmed in a documentary called Hot Blood Men, which aired on Mnet. The show documented the rigorous training program of the JYP trainees who were to be part of the group One Day, as well as the elimination of three trainees from the group.
All of the members are trained in dancing, acrobatics and singing.


2008-2009: Debut and Breakthrough Success

2PM debuted with their single "10jeom Manjeome 10jeom" on September 4, 2008. On October 17, 2008, they started to promote "Only You," another song from their debut mini album "Hottest Time of the Day."

On April 16, 2009, the group released their second mini album "2:00 PM Time For Change". Promotions began April 23rd on M!Countdown, as 2PM performed an introductory dance to "What Time Is It Now" that lead to the performance of their title single, "Again & Again". On May 9, 2009, they won their first Mutizen Song award on M!Countdown since their debut; in the same week, they won their second Mutizen on SBS Inkigayo. The group earned their third Mutizen the following week, completing the triple crown and making them ineligible to win for the following weeks. However, the award that had been eluding them - Music Bank - was quickly won soon after. On June 11th, 2PM began promotions for "Niga Mipda" (니가 밉다, lit. I Hate You) on M!Countdown. On July 2nd and 3rd, while in Thailand on a promotional tour, 2PM achieved first place on the M!Countdown and Music Bank charts for the song "Niga Mipda". They achieved the triple crown for the song on M!Countdown by July 16th. On July 30th, 2PM won the 'Only One Song' award
