Kan-fun 2PM interview

15 Questions to 2PM
Starting with the performance in Zepp Sapporo on 6 May, 2PM will begin their 5 cities tour, which Japanese fans have been waiting for in great anticipation. With their well-trained physique and overwhelmingly powerful performances as their weapons, they have captured the hearts of women in various Asian countries, including Korea and, of course, Japan. Should these boys step away from work, they're simply normal youths in their twenties. We've thus hit them with 15 questions to find out their charming true nature.
