The boys of 2PM are back in Korea, and they’ve shed the angst and heartbreak for a much more stylish and fun concept with their latest albumHands Up.

The title track, “Hands Up,” is already panning out to be this summer’s party anthem, with its repetitive melodies and addictive club beats. They’ve gone for a simpler, more playful choreography this time, boosting the song’s appeal with their infinite energy, as seen in the music video (below).

The 12-track album is full of treats for Hottests who have been patiently waiting for the boys to return from their Japanese promotions.

The album contains their past hits like “Without U” and “I’ll Be Back,” but the new songs are also a testament to 2PM’s growth as artists. Two tracks, “Give It To Me” and “Hot,” were written by members Junho and Junsu, respectively.

What do you think? Is 2PM going in the right direction with Hands Up?
(Try to ignore the light-up jackets and the random horse mask before you answer that…)

2PM will begin comeback promotions for “Hands Up” this week, starting with Music Bank on Friday!
