Star News recently conducted a survey from December 7th to 9th with 22 different producers from the Big 3 Channels (KBS, MBC, SBS). The producers were varied from music shows to variety shows. When surveyed on who the Artist of the Year was, the winner was none other than 2PM. One of producers noted that 2PM had put on the strongest performances on stage and also noted that they had 3 hit songs in the year (Again & Again, I Hate You, and Heartbeat). Even though they went through the controversy with the Jaebeom issue, they still came back strong winning mutizens and had strong strong popularity. Congratulations to 2PM, I remember watching them for the first time in late 2008 performing 10 Points Out Of 10 Points. They've come a very long way in a little over a year. Thanks to mm for the tip and remember to visit the 2ONEDAY Forums.
