Junho of boy band 2PM will hold an in-person fan meet and greet in Seoul and Tokyo in August, JYP Entertainment said Thursday.

“2022 Fan-Con ‘Before Midnight’” will start at the SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium in southern Seoul from Aug. 12 to 14. The final day of the event will also be streamed online via streaming platform Beyond LIVE.

From Aug. 20 to 21, the event will move to Nippon Budokan in Tokyo. It has been three years and eight months since Junho last performed at the venue.

Junho debuted as a member of 2PM in 2008 with the digital single “10 Out of 10.” The band has five more members: Jun. K, Nichkhun, Taecyeon, Wooyoung and Chansung. It was originally a seven-member band with rapper Jay Park, otherwise known as Park Jae-bum, as its leader, but Park left the band in 2009 and 2PM has remained a six-member band ever since.

2PM’s latest release was Japanese EP “With Me Again” last September. It was the band's first Japanese EP in five years.
