2AM
2AM (투에이엠) is a South Korean ballad group that debuted on July 11, 2008 under JYP Entertainment and Big Hit Entertainment. The four-member group comprising Jo Kwon, Lee Changmin, Lim Seulong, and Jeong Jinwoon established themselves as K-pop’s premier vocal ballad act, celebrated for emotionally charged live performances and immaculate four-part harmonies. The group emerged alongside sister act 2PM, with 2AM positioned as the slower, ballad-focused half of the One Day project conceived by JYP’s Park Jin-young.
Their debut single “This Is Not It” was followed by the 2010 hit “Can’t Let You Go Even If I Die” (죽어도 못 보내), which became one of the defining ballads of the era. Their first full album Saint O’Clock (2010) and mini album JUST YOU (2011) extended a run of top-charting releases. After members completed mandatory military service, 2AM returned in 2021 with their fourth EP Ballad 21 F/W, reigniting their fanbase and topping charts with comeback single “Silent Drive.” The group has since performed sold-out concerts including the 2022 Concert S/S and 2024 One Take fan events. Jo Kwon continues solo activities in 2026 under Archive Achim.
