Background

During the filming for the music of the group's upcoming comeback, a fire broke out on the set of the music video. Authorities stated later that the fire was relatively small and had been controlled by the time the fire team arrived; apparently it started when a spark from some fireworks which were being used in the music video landed on a sponge. All the members and staff present at the time were confirmed to be unharmed.

The comeback that was to be in April was postponed by JYP Entertainment and 2PM due to their individual activities. A JYP Entertainment rep told Newsen on the 14th that "2PM's comeback has been delayed for the time being. It will be in the latter-half of this year but the exact date has not been decided yet."
