2PM to promote content fair

Popular boy band 2PM has been selected to promote a content fair taking place in Korea.

The seven-member group was appointed as goodwill ambassadors to the second International Content Fair (ICCON) 2009, an annual fair hosted by the Culture Ministry and organized by the Korea Creative Content Agency, ICCON announced in a press release on Thursday.

The group has recently emerged as one of the top contents and this image suits the fair which is a gathering of content businesses throughout the country, ICCON explained of its reason in choosing the group.

2PM will attend the opening ceremony of the fair taking place from September 8 to 12 at the COEX Convention Center.

The seven-member group has become one of the hottest groups in Korea and throughout Asia after debuting in 2008.
