01:59PM is the first studio album by South Korean boy band, 2PM. The album was released digitally on November 10, 2009 and as a CD on November 12, 2009, via JYP Entertainment. This would be 2PM's only studio album featuring former member Jaebeom's vocals, although his face was excluded from the cover following his departure from the band.

Background

Prior to the release of 01:59PM, 2PM had withdrawn from appearances on television shows for several weeks due to the controversy surrounding the group's leader Jaebeom and his subsequent departure.[1]

On October 31, 2009, a clock appeared on 2PM's official website, counting down from 70:40.[2] While netizens predicted that it would reach zero at 4:30PM on November 2, the clock instead froze when it reached 1:59; at that time, the teaser for "Tired of Waiting" (기다리다 지친다), was released, drawing much interest from netizens. Another countdown began for the full song, which was released with the album cover on November 3 at 12:00 AM, when the clock again stopped at 1:59.[3] A teaser for the next track, "I Was Crazy About You" (너에게 미쳤었다), appeared on November 5 with the same procedure,[4] and the full song was released on November 6.[5] On November 7, six teaser videos for the title track "Heartbeat", each featuring one of the band members, were released on YouTube.[6][7]

Following the release of the rest of the album on November 10, netizens commented on the storytelling of the album, as the lyrics of the two promoted singles, "Tired of Waiting" and "Heartbeat", in particular seemed to describe the group's loss of former member Jaebeom.[8][9] The album comprises eight new tracks and five tracks from the group's previous single albums, Hottest Time of the Day and 2:00PM Time for Change.
