5 Mar:
According to a number of representatives, all four members Jo Kwon, Im Seulong, Lee Changmin, and Jung Jinwoon recently completed recording an episode for ‘Radio Star’ on February 29th.
This was their first variety show appearance in a long while, and the ‘Radio Star’ MCs caught up with the members who talked about their comeback.
Leader Jo Kwon who is also known as ‘kkap Kwon‘ showed that his witty entertainment skills have not waned during their hiatus, and fellow member Seulong garnered special attention, opening up about his scandal with Wonder Girls‘ member Sohee for the very first time.
A representative from Big Hit Entertainment informed StarNews, “2AM was invited [to the show], and recently completed their filming.”
“The boys who are just as hilarious as they are talented all offered some big laughs,” the rep continued.
2AM will be returning to the K-pop scene with their second mini-album ‘Fitzgerald Love Story‘ on March 12th, and the boys heightened anticipation for their comeback after revealing the tracklist to their album on the 2nd.
According to the list, this new album consists of tracks written by hit songwriters Kim Do Hoon, Yoon Jong Shin, Park Sun Joo, Urban Zakapa‘s Kwon Soon Il, Wheesung, Dream Team, and more.
Furthermore, member Changmin‘s self-composed song “Love You Love You” will also be included on the new album.
2AM’s producer Bank Shi Hyuk also drew attention for only co-writing one song, “You Too, Just Like Me” with composer Kim Do Hoon.
This is the group’s first Korean comeback in a year and a half. The boys who postponed a comeback in Korea to promote in Japan are ready to return to the K-pop scene.

27 December:
On December 7th, ballad group 2AM released the MV teaser for Japanese version of “Never Let You Go” via their official wesbite, www.2amjapan.com.
The MV setting is an enchanted forest, and the video captures the members’ charms and sensuous voices. The teaser which only plays one line of the song well-delivers the desperateness in Jo Kwon’s voice, further heightening fans’ anticipation for the full-length version.
2AM’s Japanese debut single “Never Let You Go” drops January 11th, and the boys will be spending their Christmas holding their holiday concert on December 24th and 25th at Jamsil Stadium.
Earlier, allkpop reported that 2AM performed a delightful cover of KARA‘s “Step” and the Wonder Girls‘ “Be My Baby” at their two-day Christmas live.
On December 27th, Big Hit Entertainment shared 2AM’s practice video for “Step” and “Be My Baby” with fans on YouTube. As expected, Jo Kwon brought out his impressive kkap, hitting each dance point perfectly. Not to be outdone, his groupmates Jinwoon, Changmin, and Seulong did their utmost to keep up, although they’d occasionally crack a smile or burst into laughter.
The sight of these ultra-muscular men shaking their hips and doing body waves can only be described with one word: daebak.

Since Jo Kwon’s ‘Britney Spears‘ cover was also a huge hit, we’ve included a fancam below:
26 November:
Taken at an airport, the photo showed Jo Kwon and Jinwoon snoozing on a bench for a quick nap. The singers converted the bench into a bunk bed, with Seulong taking the ‘top’ bunk and Jo Kwon sleeping below.
Fans commented, “Haha, I should order one of those benches. So funny” and “Looks like you guys were at the airport. Didn’t people stare at you?”
Either these two have mastered the art of sleeping anytime, anywhere, or they’re making the greatest comment on the absurdity of planking ever.

Ultimately, none of the members were able to sustain their composure and submitted to Seulong’s unexpected gag.
Netizens commented, “Is it possible to do that kind of gag with that good looking face?” and “Daebak Seulong”.

Fans commented, “They really prepared a lot for it, they’re worthy of Fukuyama’s praise,” and “I always feel inspired when I see how hard-working they are.”
The track is part of the Japanese singer-songwriter’s cover/remix album, titled “With Special Guests – Fukuyama Masaharu Remake“, which features Korean guest participants like B2ST. The original track, “最愛,” was used as the theme song for the movie “Suspect X” in 2009. 2AM received the opportunity to recreate it with their own emotional voices to add a more modern touch.
Fukuyama praised, “I think 2AM’s remake is better than the original. They reinterpreted the song very dramatically; it’s excellent.”
