2PM Makes A Promise To Return To Fans After Last Concert Together
K-Pop boy band 2PM promised to return to their fans as they set out for their last concert together as a complete group. The six members held up the letters of the word PROMISE in the latest teaser image for their upcoming sold-out concert "6 Nights" as a gesture that they'll always be with their HOTTEST fans, according to allkpop. K-Pop fans would have to bid a temporary farewell as Taecyeon and Jun.K are expected to enlist this year.
The "6 Nights" concert is scheduled at the Olympic Handball Stadium and will kick off Friday to Sunday for the first set with the second set slated March 3 to 5. The members promised to perform songs they haven't sung in their past concerts just to commemorate how meaningful this last one is.
The members first talked about their plans of enlisting in the mandatory military service two years ago. The 29-year-old main vocalist Jun.K, who successfully wrapped up his "Jun.K Solo Tour 2015 No Shadow" concerts in Japan, was expected to be the first to enlist. The 28-year-old Thai-American member Nickhun is exempted while Taecyeon, also 28, gave up his American permanent residency visa and even underwent a back surgery and eye correction just so he can be drafted for active duty.
"If we go one by one, it won't be until 6 years later, when I'm 35, that 2PM would be able to have a group comeback," Koreaboo quoted Jun.K as saying in a 2015 interview. Taecyeon offered that they could find a way to cut the length of their inactivity as a group and even promote as sub-units. However, he voiced the members' sentiments that even this option couldn't hide away their loneliness just as they felt when they had to do activities without Jun.K, who was then busy with his solo concerts. "That is when we really feel the importance of every member's presence," said Taecyeon.
