It seems that 2PM is one of the busiest idols even once they are off the stage and TV camera after they have stopped their activities on their 1st album. Lately they have been very active in commercials and fashion magazines and some say that they have earned $2 million in commercials alone last year. Even as of today (1/27) there were several articles regarding 2PM’s activities off the stage. On the top shows concept photo from new Coca-Cola commercial featuring 2PM as pocket idols. In the commercial, 2PM will break out from fans’ pocket and sing a song called Open Happiness, in a cutsy manner.

2PM Taec-Yeon will debut as an actor in Korean drama called “Cinderella’s older sister” that is scheduled to air at the end of March. Taec-Yeon will be playing the role of a character named Jung-Woo, who will protect the female main character Eun Jo (actress Moon Geun-Young) like her shadow. Taec-Yeon’s character will be a strong-masculine type with touch of finesse and softness, which will be an upgrade from his “Beast-idol” image shown as a member of 2PM. Other casts of the drama include actress Suh-Woo and actor Chun Jung-Myung.
