Top Korean artists from major talenthouse JYP Entertainment (JYPE) will take part in a joint concert in Japan in August.

A PR official from JYPE told 10Asia over the phone on Monday that JYPE founder and CEO Park Jin-young, Wonder Girls, 2PM, 2AM, JOO, San E and miss A will come together under the name of JYP Nation to take the stage of Japan's Saitama Super Arena for a two-day concert on August 17 and 18.

JYP Nation had previously performed at the Olympic Park Stadium for their Christmas Eve concert last year, attracting over 10,000 fans to the three-hour long show.

They also collaborated on a Christmas carol titled "This Christmas" which fared well on various online music charts upon its release on December 1 last year.

Founded in 1997 by famed singer and producer Park Jin-young, JYPE focuses on various aspects of the entertainment business including music production, new artist recruitment, training and management.

The company is also famous for the successful music careers of many K-pop artists including Rain and Lim Jeong-hee.

Tickets for JYP Nation's concert will become available on 2PM's Hottest Japan Mobile website starting June 1.
