The “Beast Idol” legends, 2PM, have successfully reclaimed their throne at the heart of Japan, proving that their bond with fans is as unbreakable as ever. On May 9 and 10, the group held their momentous 15th-anniversary concert, “THE RETURN in TOKYO DOME,” drawing a massive crowd of over 85,000 Hottest (2PM’s official fandom) across two days. This performance marked a historic milestone, being their first full-ensemble show at the iconic venue in a decade, fulfilling a promise made ten years ago.
