We study the site percolation under Achlioptas process (AP) with a product rule in a 2-dimensional (2D) square lattice. From the measurement of the cluster size distribution, P_s, we find that P_s has a very robust power-law regime followed by a stable hump near the transition threshold. Based on the careful analysis on the P_s distribution, we show that the transition should be discontinuous. The existence of the hysteresis loop in order parameter also verifies that the transition is
