Korean ballad group 2AM wooed several hundred fans at their second fan meeting over the weekend, their first fan event in over two years.

Their fan meeting titled "2 o'clock Date with 2AM," held at the Sangmyung Art Center in Seoul on September 17, began with a segment which featured various song recommendations by each of the members followed by their first performance of ballad "You Wouldn't Answer My Calls."

"It feels great to see everyone here today since it's been a while since our last fan meeting," 2AM leader Jo Kwon greeted fans. "But don't worry we have been busy preparing for today's event as well as working on a new album which will probably come out early next year."

"We have also been busy with our activities overseas but we plan on making it up to our fans with our comeback next year and hope to place first on a number of music programs," 2AM member Changmin added smilingly.

The fan meeting continued with various events where 2AM members chose their No. 1 fan and answered fans' questions and handed gifts to selected fans with a special guest performance by 8eight member Lee Hyun with his song "You are the Best of My Life."

The members took the stage as 'miss AM' for their rendition of JYP Entertainment labelmates miss A's dance tune "Good-bye Baby" followed by a medley of their songs such as "Sorry I Can't Smile For You," "What Should I Do," "L.O.V.E" and "I Did Wrong."

"We hope that our fans wait for our return because we will show you a better 2AM," Jo Kwon said as the boys gave their encore performance of "Can't Let You Go Even If I Die."

Composed of other members Seulong and Jinwoon, 2AM was trained and discovered by top Korean talenthouse agency JYP Entertainment (JYPE) and made their debut in 2008 with their single album "This Song."

The four-member ballad group is gearing up for their official debut into the music scene in Japan with the licensed release of their first full-length album "Saint o'clock."
