Are you ready?

2PM FULL GROUP

COMEBACK

Get ready: 2PM is gearing up to make a comeback as a full group in the relatively near future!

On January 14, JYP Entertainment officially announced that 2PM was planning to make a comeback with all six members following Junho’s military discharge in March. (With Chansung having completed his service earlier this month, Junho’s discharge will mark the successful completion of the 2PM members’ military service.)

Although 2PM has not made a comeback as a full group since 2016 due to the members’ military service, their music has managed to stay in the spotlight nonetheless. Aside from the members’ various solo releases and projects, their 2015 hit “My House” suddenly enjoyed an unexpected resurgence in popularity last year, when it went viral five years after its release and inspired countless covers by younger idols.

Looking towards the year ahead, 2PM remarked, “With all of the members together, we will greet you with good content. Please look forward to a 2021 that is chock-full of 2PM.” Junho is currently scheduled to be discharged from the military on March 20, 2021.

Are you excited to see 2PM make their return as a full group?

EXCITING WINTER

Ski Resorts

Source: https://english.visitkorea.or.kr/

One of the best things about winter’s arrival is the chance to enjoy skiing and snowboarding. Ski resorts in Korea offer slopes for a variety of skill levels, from absolute beginners to experts. The resorts also come equipped with modern facilities for visitors’ convenience. Most people visit ski resorts in Gangwon-do, the region that receives the most annual snowfall, or in the outskirts of Seoul.

Most resorts are large, leisure-focused facilities that stay open all year round and are nestled in beautiful natural surroundings.

Common amenities include sledding for children, gondolas and walking trails to take in the winter scenery, and spas to relax the body.

As all ski resorts differ in prices and operating periods, it is strongly recommended to check for details before visiting.

During the peak ski season, from mid-December to the end of February, visitors are recommended to reserve accommodations ahead of time.
