Wooyoung Reveals 2PM Members Did THIS When They Performed 'Heartbeat' on Music Shows
On the Aug. 28 broadcast of the SBS variety show "My Little Old Boy," 2PM member Wooyoung appeared as a special MC.
At one point during the episode, host Seo Jang Hoon brought up 2PM's past promotions wherein the members would fall asleep on stage due to tiredness.
He said, "I heard there was a time during 2PM's promotions when the members were so tired that you all fell into a deep sleep on stage."

Wooyoung replied that it was the time 2PM was promoting "Heartbeat." Like any K-pop artist, the boy group performed the song on Korean music shows.
Wooyoung explained that the choreography for the song begins with the members lying down on stage, but because they were exhausted from their busy schedule, they eventually fell asleep.
"The song also starts with the sound of an actual heartbeat, so it's not very stimulating. It kind of felt like a lullaby," Wooyoung added.
The idol further said that after lying down, they would need to get up on their own. However, there would be one person who continued lying down instead of getting up.
"And we all took turns being that person," he revealed.

In order to wake that member up, one of them would have to kick him using their foot while saying, "Hyung! Hyung!"
"And we'd wake each other up while acting [to match the performance]. We took turns waking each other up like that," 2PM Wooyoung stated.
2PM's "Heartbeat" serves as the title track of the group's first studio album "01:59PM," which was released back in November 2009. This marks the band's first music release following the departure of Jay Park.
"Heartbeat" earned the group a total of seven music show trophies, four on KBS2's "Music Bank" and three on SBS's "Inkigayo."
