Despite the turmoil with Jaebeom, 2PM's popularity in Thailand is still very strong. Speaking of turmoil, if you can recall, back in August TVXQ was also selected as the Most Popular Asian Artist 2009 on Thailand's Channel V Music Video Awards. During happier times back in July, 2PM made a visit to Thailand and even visited with the Prime Minister. I'm sure the presence of a Thai member in Nichkhun has helped 2PM's popularity in Thailand tremendously. Right now, the 6 members of 2PM are finding popularity in homeland Korea as well as they won the coveted artist of the year at Mnet's MAMA.

Junjin's absence really stood out as even newcomer Gill was present in the group picture. It's not what you think though. The reason behind Junjin's absence wasn't because he lacked the 'Infinity Challenge' sense of humor or because he was disliked, but it was because he has enlisted into the Korean army, as mandatory for all Korean Males. Although his role wasn't too important or big, he will be very missed, because it was kind of funny watching him try so hard to be funny and fit into Infinity Challenge.

As a recap from last year, the Wonder Girls, Big Bang, and TVXQ had taken home the big awards last year, but this year's award ceremony did not follow the same route. Why? Because SM Entertainment boycotted the whole event, that's why! Their absence meant that fans could not witness some of the music highlights and syndromes of the year, such as Gee, Genie, Ring Ding Dong, Sorry Sorry, and etc. However, their absence led to two awards for the YG Family. Both 2NE1 and G-Dragon from YG shared the '... of the year' awards with JYP's 2PM. 2PM won 'Artist of the Year' and they stated: "We are very happy that we received this award. Even though our leader, Park Jaebeom, isn't here, we would like to share this honor with him. We can't believe this. We are very thankful for the fans who will always be with us. There were a lot of things that happened. We give honor to those fans who have stayed and helped us." 2NE1 won 'Song of the Year' with 'I Don't Care,' and they stated: "Thank you very much. Thank you to the people who loved 'I Don't Care.' There was a time when our members promised each other that we will get this award when we watch Big Bang receive it last year. We want to give our thanks to our boss, Yang Hyun Suk, who made us this pretty, and to the YG family." G-Dragon won 'Album of the Year' with his 19+track Heartbreaker album, and stated: It is awkward that I am receiving this award alone, because I have always received it as a 5-member group. But I am very happy that I am receiving it with my YG family members, 2NE1. I think a lot of things happened in the music industry, for both me and others. I hope a lot of good things will happen next year." Yes G-Dragon, I hope more good things will happen next year. But this year was surely exciting, because who doesn't love some good drama?

But in a interview with SM Entertainment right after MAMA was concluded, a representative said that they had no right to do so: "The trio had no right to receive the award on behalf of TVXQ.
