2PM, "We Have To Do Really Well This Time... This Is Our Turning Point" [Interview]

Boy group 2PM is entering into a new chapter. It's already been 7 years since they debuted. They grew to the point where they self-produce their own music, stepping out on their own.

Their new title song "GO CRAZY" is written by Jun.K. In this song, 2PM put down their usual charisma just to have fun. They are letting go of everything to party.

The members seemed excited when they were being interviewed. They said, "This song has to do really well. If not, we have to go back to the arms of Park Jin Young," laughing.

"How did you come to include your own song?"

Jun.K - "JYP Entertainment gathers candidates for the title song and vote on it. The deadline for that was the day after the New Years. I started writing on the morning of the deadline and it took me about 8 hours. But everyone said it ws good. My song was chosen so I called my mom and cried."

"Did Park Jin Young not suggest any songs for those candidates?"

Jun.K - "He sent out a few that he wrote on the holiday too. Everyone was happy that day except Jin Young (laugh)."

Wooyoung - "Jin Young always produced our songs so we were a performance group but I think this will become our turning point. Jin Young tried to give us a chance too, and we had a lot of meetings about our outfits also. He lets you add your own style to your album."

"How was the recording led by Jun.K?"

Jun.K - "We didn't sit still for even a second. This song is all about the energy so I tried my best to give them full energy. I looked a lot at the new tone of the members. I couldn't help but be nervous when we recorded with Jin Young but this time we were more involved in the music."

"I heard the members have a lot of drinking sessions."

Jun.K - "The members do have a lot of fun together. (laugh)"

Taecyeon - "Because we have a lot of separate, individual schedules, we can't be together that much except for our occasional concerts so we were all lonely. We used to see each other to grab a drink because we missed each other so much. We were drinking and we told ourselves that this is for our song. (laugh)"
