Top K-pop boy band 2PM will resume their Asia tour later this month, according to their agency JYP Entertainment (JYPE) on Monday.

A rep with JYPE told 10Asia over the phone that 2PM, who kicked off their Asia tour in Seoul in September last year, will continue their tour with their concert at the Impact Arena in Thailand on February 18.

She then added that the group is scheduled to visit several other countries such as China and Hong Kong next month.

"The boys are currently promoting themselves overseas, focusing on their Asia tour and preparing for the release of their greatest hits album in Japan on March 14," the official explained.

The upcoming album will contain songs that were chosen by the fans such as "Heartbeat," "I'll Be Back" and "Hands Up" as well as the self-composed songs "Give It To Me" and "Hot" by members Junho and Junsu, respectively.

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