The long wait is over as 2PM is finally back with the release of their sixth studio album titled "Gentlemen's Game" on Sept. 13. The newly-released album is their first after they dropped "No. 5" album in 2015.

Prior to the release of "Gentlemen's Game," 2PM performed their new single titled "Promise (I'll Be)" through Naver V mobile app, Korea Joongang Daily reported. Reports suggest that the new track is a product of a collaborative effort between Taecyeon and singer-songwriter Lesley Chiang.

"Gentlemen's Game" features a total of 11 tracks with seven of them written and composed by the 2PM members. According to Soompi, tracks "Giv u Class" and "Humming" were written and composed by Wooyoung, while "Make Love," "Uneasy" and "Can't Stop Feeling" were Chansung's compositions.

Aside from that, Taecyeon was also a co-writer of tracks "Make Love," "Perfume" and "Can't Stop Feeling." The newly-released "Gentlemen's Game" album also features tracks "All Night Long," "Never," "Shall We?" and "My Last."

According to Taecyeon, "Gentlemen's Game" will be their last release before their enlistment for the mandatory military service. The member said, "Comeback! It's our last promotion before military service! Let's have fun! Whatever they say!"

2PM was formed under JYP Entertainment in 2008 and was known for their "jimseung-dol" phenomenon. Unlike other Kpop boy groups, 2PM can be remembered because of their macho image.

After being in the music industry for quite a while, the boy group has already released six Korean albums, including the newly released "Gentlemen's Game," and five Japanese albums.

2PM had their first-ever series of concerts in 2010 at the Seoul Olympic Park Arena and Jamsil Indoor Stadium. The following year, the boy group held two series of concerts in Japan in May and December.

Aside from their concerts in Seoul and Japan, 2PM has also staged several shows in Hong Kong and Thailand.

Meanwhile, 2PM's "Gentlemen's Game" is already available on iTunes for $11.99.
