The album cover for K-pop idol 2PM's second Japanese single has been revealed, according to their agency JYP Entertainment.

Through a press release on Friday, the cover for the regular edition and special edition of 2PM's new album "I'm your man" was unveiled, showing the six members donned in black suits.

In the meantime, the full-length music video for "I'm your man," a song about a man who tries to watch over the person he loves, will be uploaded onto the group's official Japanese website on August 1 and the album will become available in the country on August 16.

"The local music industry people have shown great interest in 2PM’s upcoming activities since the album cover of 'I'm your man' was revealed," an official from JYP Japan was quoted as saying.

2PM, formed of members Nichkhun, Wooyoung, Junho, Chansung, Junsu and Taecyeon, is known as one of the most popular boy bands in Korea and several other countries in Asia since their debut in 2008.

They officially expanded their singing careers into Japan last November and has since held their first concert tour in the country and released their first Japanese debut single "Take Off" on May 18 which claimed the No. 4 spot on the prestigious Oricon's weekly singles chart.

The boys will set off on their Asia tour which will begin in Korea early September, while they will join fellow JYP artists for the JYP Nation concert in Japan on August 17 and 18.
