[Video Review] 2PM Knows How to Charm the Ladies in ′Comeback When You Hear This Song′

The 2PM members are back, looking hotter than ever – and they didn’t even have to take off their shirts.

On May 6, 2PM dropped its long-awaited music video for Comeback When You Hear This Song.

Perhaps speaking to a past lover (or maybe even to some of the fans who drifted away while 2PM was out of the spotlight), Comeback When You Hear This is probably one of the sweetest I'm-Begging-You-To-Please-Take-Me-Back songs.

The boys sing for the girl (yes, one girl for all six members, like most typical K-Pop music videos) to return, as a series of flashbacks roll out, explaining why the boys broke up with the girl - for none other than the seven deadly sins.

Chansung had issues with lust, Nichkhun with greed, Wooyoung with sloth, Junho with gluttony, Jun.K with wrath, and Taecyeon with envy – which takes us back to the code teaser JYP Entertainment gave us.

With six members and seven deadly sins, the girl inevitably represents the remaining sin of pride, which is evidently the actual underlying reason for the break-ups.

But apparently, the boys have Grown up, and want the girl back - and somehow, playing Comeback When You Hear this Song accomplishes the song's titular goal.

Slick graphics and intricate details aside, this new music video and song showcases just how much 2PM has grown since its debut in 2008.

The 2PM members were hormonal teens in 10 Out of 10 Points, enraged beast-dols in Again and Again and Heartbeat, party boys in Hands Up, and now after years of being boys, they’ve come back as sophisticated men, who are looking for love and willing to admit that they’ve made a mistake.

In the same vein, the 2PM members have made an effort to actually appear like adults. While the male groups of today are heavily dominated by young, effeminate boys, 2PM has taken painstaking steps to exude a mature, adult aura that they've previously shied away from.

The only thing that detracted from the new and improved 2PM was the dance, which looked like an amalgation of every dance Park Jin Young (JYP) has attempted.

The dance, mainly the ‘Gimme Gimme’ dance, was jarring against the backdrop of the serious video and we just couldn’t get over how silly it looked with six grown men looking like children who are begging for a cookie rather than a woman.

Nonetheless, much like the pyramid dance in Heartbreaker, the dance is likely to spread through the nation - just as it's likely the song will be played on overtime throughout the summer.

Rating: 3.5/5

[News] ‘Album of the Week’ 2PM Comeback, M.A.T.U.R.E.M.E.N’s music ‘GROWN’

Comeback after 2 years, stories of music and love of six mature men
Six M.A.T.U.R.E men, 2PM comes back.

2PM who caught the eyes of Asia with ‘beastly-idol’ charms through Asia Tour Concert, Arena Tour Concert, Tokyo Dome Concert to name a few, are finally coming back to their home ground after 2 years and releasing their third regular album ‘GROWN’. GROWN is an album that holds deep charms of the six members that have ‘grown’ as men, as musicians and ‘matured’ during the past 2 years. Not only do the 2PM members show off their musical maturity through an impressive track list, their obvious masculinity makes one's heart beat faster.

GROWN displays love and emotions of grown and mature m.e.n through 12 tracks including two double titles, ‘Come back when you hear this song’ and ‘Ha.Ni.Ppun (All Day Think Of You)’. Junho and Jun.K gained attention as lyricists, composers and singer-songwriters through their songs – Zero Point, Go Back and Love Song for Junho, Game Over and Suddenly for Jun.K. Chansung took part in writing lyrics for Coming Down, whereas Taecyeon took part in rap making for 6 songs – Ha.Ni.Ppun, Comeback when you hear this song, I’m Sorry, One More Day, Coming Down and Go Back. All of the members portrayed their heart and emotions of mature men through their extensive work for this album.

2PM’s serene emotion that can be felt in the title song ‘Comeback when you hear this song’ is the first song that opens up the second half of 2PM’s singer-life, who are coming back to Korea after 2 years. An emotional melody and serene lyrics that portray desperate feelings of a man who regrets parting with his lover rings one’s heart. Refrained but dandy Western Style choreography is also notable.

The other title song ‘Ha.Ni.Ppun’ is a song about a man who sings of his precious love. This song gives a refreshing shock through an orchestration mixed with South hip-hop, flawless rhythm and lyrics. Straight forward but sensual expression along with the repetitive lyrics of ‘all day think of you’ mixes well with the interesting intro of the song and leaves a strong impact. It’s a song that marks the peak of 2PM’s stylishness along with overflowing sex appeal.
