So, you heard it too, right? 2PM is coming to Malaysia for the 2009 MTV Asia Awards (which apparently will be held at Sunway Lagoon, Subang Jaya). Coming soon: Get ready, Malaysia. Set your watches to 2PM. We got the news from 2PM‘s boss himself – Mr. JYP, who is currently busy touring with his precious Wonder Girls. Thanks to the Asian Soul’s diligence in updating the public through Twitter, everyone who is worth their K-popped! salt has been receiving juicy revelations on the latest happenings from the JYP Entertainment camp, such as: 1) The Wonder Girls were scheduled to open for some of the Jonas Brothers’ concerts in the US. The girls proved to be so good that they had the JoBros singing, “We want nobody, nobody but YOU (to open for our entire US tour…and oh, Canada too)!” Wonderful: Wonder Girls are wow-ing the Americans 2) Since JYP is tied up touring with the Wonder Girls, he apologised for not being able to make it to the 2009 MTV Asia Awards in Malaysia(!). However, he appeased all K-popped!-hungry fans by saying that he’s “sending 2PM” over to our neck of the woods – brilliant! Allow me to quote

Lady Gaga goes to Seoul…

…and the Korean press gets a gratuitous shot of her butt thanks to her haute couture ensemble by Tokyo-based designer Dress Camp. Go Ga Ga: Lady Ga Ga shows offher…er, golden globes Choker: ‘I’m alright folks, still breathing.’ The rather…er, out-of-this-world pop singer appeared to the press on Wednesday (June 17) during her three-day promotional trip to Seoul. This was her first visit to South Korea. Blinded: ‘Dang, where’s the chair? I can’t seeclearly with these sunnies on.’ The 23-year-old also held a showcase that evening at Cheongdam-dong’s Club Answer. Born Joanne Stefani Germanotta, the Poker Face singer was also interviewed by 2PM’s Jaebeom for Mnet’s Wide Entertainment News programme (pic below). Jaebeom, the lead singer and oldest member (at 22) of 2PM, conducted the interview with the lady-who-doesn’t-like-to-put-on-pants in English as he was born in Seattle, Washington. I wonder if he went “Ga Ga” over her outfit ;-P.

2PM pays tribute to Rain on Mcountdown Heroes

2PM pays tribute to the original Bad Boy This is a definite must-watch for both Rain and 2PM fans. JYP‘s 2PM pays tribute to superstar and once-upon-a-time JYP protégé, Rain on M Countdown’s Heroes (비 History히스토리) on June 04, 7pm. They perform Bad Guy (Nappeun namja) and Rainism! However, some might be disappointed that Nickhun is absent in this performance as he is back in Thailand participating in a concert. 2PM gave an excellent performance, and tried to imitate Rain’s dance moves right down to his facial expressions…however, it doesn’t come quite close to how Rain does it. The original Bad Boy 비 is just priceless! Although i must say that Hwang Chan-sung aced the cane dance. Sources: AllKPop, Artsnews
