Jo Kwon (Hangul: 조권, hanja: 趙權; born on August 28, 1989) is a South Korean singer, MC, actor, entertainer and leader of South Korean boy band 2AM.
Jo Kwon, formerly known as Sacre Bleu, trained at JYP Entertainment 7 years after joining the company. He was chosen as the last member of Park Jin Young's "99% Challenge Project" along with Sun-ye of Wonder Girls.
In 2008, he appeared on Mnet's Hot Blood. The program showed the intense physical training that thirteen male trainees go through to acquire the opportunity to debut in either a 4-member ballad group or a 7-member dance group. After several elimination steps, Kwon was chosen for a position in the 4-member ballad group 2AM. He became the group's leader.
2AM's first single "This Song" released on July 21, 2008. It debuted on July 11, 2008, performing "이 노래" ("This Song"). In March 2015, Jo Kwon had decided to renew their contracts with JYP Entertainment while 3 other members sign to other agencies. JYP Entertainment assured that the departures do not mean 2AM is breaking up nor disband the group. But along with this 2AM currently on temporarily break from any group activities
Tryin' to keep that wolf at bay
Twelve out of twenty-four hours a day
I'm bustin' it, I'm breakin' my back
Swing that hammer, stomp that shovel
Boss man says, "Boy, you're pullin' a double"
It's always me, pickin' up the slack
Nobody said it was easy
But girl it's been a long hard day
It seems we work our lives away
Five o'clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet
But girl when I come home to you
The only thing I wanna do
Is baby hold you tight 'cause all that gets me through
After a long day is a long night with you
One of those nights when we don't sleep
The two of us fittin' like a puzzle piece
Turnin' up the heat with the lights down low
So go ahead honey and pour the wine
I'm a little overdue for some overtime
In your lovin' arms, I ain't lettin' you go
Yet at night we'll take it slow an' easy
'Cause girl it's been a long hard day
It seems we work our lives away
Five o'clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet
But girl when I come home to you
The only thing I wanna do
Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through
After a long day is a long night with you
Girl when I come home to you
The only thing I wanna do
Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through
After a long day is a long night
Girl, it's been a long day and I'll need a long night with you
Just a little bit longer baby
Just a little bit longer with you
