2PM in 2009 Supermodel Contest

We reported earlier that 2PM is gearing up for a return on stage without Jaebeom at the 2009 Supermodel Contest on 25th September. But it will only be just two members of 2PM taking to the stage.

With the uncertainty surrounding 2PM in the aftermath of Jaebeom’s departure, the event organizers have once again stated on the 23rd that 2PM is still among the list of scheduled performers, with no planned changes. But it will not be a 2PM stage with the present six members. Instead, it will be a performance by just two 2PM members singing a ballad, one of which is confirmed to be Nichkhun while the other is still being discussed.

Since their last performance at the Incheon Korean Wave Music Festival on 5th September, the 2PM boys have not been seen on stage together since, as they were withdrawn from all activities. This performance at the 2009 Supermodel Contest will be 2PM’s first performance on stage since their last 25 days ago.

The 2009 Supermodel Contest will be broadcasted live through SBS and their website but organizers have stated that, with tensions still running high now, the possibility of 2PM’s performance not being shown in the live broadcast is high. 2PM’s performance had been scheduled way before the Jaebeom incident erupted into a fireball.

Besides 2PM, there will also be performances by SNSD, G-Dragon, 2NE1, Baek Ji Young, Park Hyun Bin and Wink.

Nichkhun will not attend Star King recording

The aftermath of 2PM’s Jaebeom quitting and returning to America has been quite chaotic. With Taecyeon and Wooyong possibly retiring from their MC roles on SBS Inkigayo, now comes even more disappointing news.

It’s been confirmed that 2PM’s Nichkhun will not be attending the filming of the September 14th(today) recording of SBS Star King.

Star King’s PD Bae Sung Woo informed Newsen today:

“Nichkhun will not be attending today’s(14th) recoding of Star King. We know 2PM members are currently canceling their appearances from programs, however, depending on the situation, there is the possibility of change.”

JYP Entertainment is currently pulling out 2PM members due to the emotional and mental stress of Jaebeom leaving the group. However, it is still unclear whether Taecyeon and Wooyoung will be pulled from their MC roles on SBS Inkigayo.

Taecyeon and Wooyoung to quit Inkigayo MC roles?

With Jaebeom quitting 2PM and returning to America recently, it has been pure agony for the remaining six 2PM members who must be going through a lot.

It was reported earlier in the day on the 13th, that the production team of Inkigayo were solely behind Taecyeon and Wooyoung and in full support of them to continue hosting the show. But it was then revealed after the 13th September episode of Inkigayo, that there is a possibility for an MC change afterall. Although SBS PD’s do not want an MC change, and will stand by Taecyeon and Wooyoung until the end, they stated that they would need to speak with JYP Entertainment.

There are also rumors that other 2PM members will also be ending their solo activities and go into hiatus. Current 2PM members who are into solo activities include Taecyeon featuring for Baek Ji Young’s My Ear’s Candy performance, Nichkhun on Star King and the unfortunate Junho who had only just got started on Dream Team Season 2.
