Korean boy band 2PM topped Korea's music charts with their new single "HeartBeat" over the weekend.
The group took the No. 1 title on KBS music show "Music Bank", which aired on Friday, and won the Mutizen Song two days later on SBS's "Inkigayo Live", beating out other contenders such as 2NE1, Brown Eyed Girls, K. Will, Park Bom, SS501, Taeyang and U-Kiss.
"Jae-beom, thank you." the group said in their acceptance speech. "We would like thank our family at the agency and the fans."
This is their first win since the group's former leader Jae-beom's departure from the band in early September over controversial comments he made about Korea on his MySpace account before his debut.
"HeartBeat", the title song from their first album, was written by their producer Park Jin-young, also founder and CEO of their agency JYP Entertainment.
Sunday's "Inkigayo" also featured a special remix version of SHINee's hit single "Ring Ding Dong", which topped the charts for the past three weeks, and a comeback performance of girl band After School, who sang "Because of You" and "When I Fall".
