[News] 2PM fans demand, "Reveal the truth behind the 'jaebum, come back' situation"

[TV Daily = Lee Eunji Reporter] “ Jaebum, come back” This situation has to be clarified…”

The existence of 2PM is faltering due to the termination of Jaebum’s contract with JYPE. The majority of the fans demand, “The remaining members should stop all activities and terminate 2PM”. They strongly demand that the members who are currently involved in variety programs should leave the shows.

But, amongst these fans’ opinions lies the voice of the minority fans.

One person who was revealed to be a 2PM fan said during a phone call with TVDaily, “Only Jaebum can clarify the situation,” and said that she wants Jaebum to speak his side of the story.

This fan said carefully, “Jaebum’s life is important, but so are the lives of the other members. It is regrettable that Jaebum has withdrawn from the team but it is somewhat selfish to block the other members’ activities because of it”.

“Jaebum has terminated his contract with JYPE but the other members are still under JYPE. They are not in the position to NOT participate in their activities.”

Also, “at this moment, whatever the company or members say will not lessen the fans’ rage and no one will believe them,” and, “it is the time for the person who is directly involved in the situation, Jaebum, to reveal his stance”.

But, this fan also stated, “the truth is, even though Jaebum comes out and reveals his stance, the fans are not going to believe it. They’re simply going to believe that he is speaking how the company told him to”.

Currently, the majority it 2PM’s fans either wish for them to stop all activities or quit their careers as celebrities. But, other fans criticize those for being selfish.

[News] Infront Of JYPE Building With Chrysanthemums; 2PM Is Dead

On the 26th at 2PM, 100 2PM fans gathered in front of the JYP Entertainment building to show their were against the permanent withdrawal of Park Jaebum

After hearing the news of Park Jaebum's permanent withdrawal, 2PM fans gathered to protest. Because the protest had started due to Jaebum, it is thought that the gathering will only grow. To show they were against Jaebum's withdrawal, they laid down chrysanthemums.

Junsu, Wooyoung, Chansung, Junho, Taecyeon and Nichkhun idol group 2PM's company, JYP Entertainment, realised an announcement on the 25th at 8PM via their official homepage regarding Jaebum's withdrawal. It was a long post but explained that it was because of Jaebum's personal mistake. They explained that this personal mistake was much worse than the incident that happened in September, and came to a decision to end his contract.

However the majority of the fans are not willing to agree to JYP's announcement. The fans have refuted each point made in the announcement and declaring it as conspiracies. Because of this many uncertain rumors are rising to the surface.

The fans' opinion is that the time that the 6 members agreed to the withdrawal with JYPE does not match up with the actual situations they were in. The apparent time of the 6 members' agreement was at the start of January, a time when the members were given a holiday. Also on February 3rd, during the Seoul Music awards, they referred to Jaebum in their speeches. Because of these points the voices of those who do not understand the announcement are increasing. In regards to the announcement that this happened during the time of 2PM's 'Again and Again' promotions, the fans have voiced out that their schedule was too busy for this to happen. Fans are bursting in rage, declaring that "JYPE are lying".

Meanwhile 2PM's Taecyeon has deleted his Cyworld minihompy. Until now Taecyeon has been actively communicating with fans via his minihompy and leaving posts in his diary section. Fans are shocked that he had suddenly deleted his minihompy. Last January, another 2PM member, Wooyoung, also suddenly deleted his minihompy and has made fans more shocked. Junsu's minihompy was also closed his minihompy, and on Chansung's minihompy, he closed it with his status as "Confused...".

[News/Info] 2PM Fan Union Question & Answers

1. Despite Underground having corrected our document of questions and resubmitted them, why have you opened this conference without answering them?

Jung Wook: Park Jaebum has requested for us to reveal his withdrawal at the end of February and so we couldn't answer the questions. We are opening this conference in order for the members to have an honest talk with the fans.

2. What the fans wanted as communication with JYPE. Why are the members present at today's conference?

Jung Wook: In order for the members to express their honest thoughts. If only I had come to the conference, the fans wouldn't believe the members.

3. JYPE announced that the members agreed to Park Jaebum's withdrawal on the 6th of January. Are there any refutes against this statement?

Membes: We all agree to the statement.

4. We would like an honest response as to why the members continued to speak of Jaebum's name in broadcasts and their interviews even after the decision was apparently made on the 6th of January.

Members: Despite his withdrawal, he is still a good hyung to us. I don't think it's a problem to be honest in saying that we miss him. And from now on, if we miss him, we will say so. We don't think it will be a problem.

5. After the termination of the contract with Park Jaebum, what are you required to do by law?

There is nothing left.

6. Until when is the income distribution active?

There is no fee for the termination of his contract. Income earned up to December completed its distribution in January.

7. Please explain what the company is doing to handle the mental and physical stress that has been placed upon the members and their families with the various rumors that are circulating.

Jung Wook: JYPE is not responsible for the personal and social lives of the celebrities within our agency. We believe that Park Jaebum must take full responsbility for his actions. The rest of the members are victims to this case, while Park Jaebum is the attacker.

8. It is not hard to ask for articles to be taken down and for hateful replies to be deleted. Why didn't the company take a stance on this issue?

Jung Wook: Honestly speaking, we have never had to delete articles or replies before this issue. However, after the issue broke out, our company has tried our best.

9. Despite revealing that decisions have been made on the 6th of January, the company has been using Park Jaebum's name for marketing. Please reveal your reason.

Jung Wook: It is impossible for JYPE to control the media and the press. It is true that the decision was made on the 6th of January but we had already come to an agreement to release the information late February.

10. On the official notification, you described the reason as 'a severe personal mistake.' Will you be taking responsibility for specifically using the words 'severe' and 'mistake?'

Jung Wook: I will reply with three reasons.
1. After this 'mistake' occurred, we didn't want the remaining members to turn into betrayers. The 6 members are just as important as the one.
2. The notification was to all of Korea. We could not lie.
3. The 6 members are the victims and if we did not speak of the truth and reveal it as a severe mistake, people will get the wrong idea.

11. Does Park Jaebum know about the conference with fans? Does he know that the reason for his withdrawal is 'due to a severe personal mistake?'

Khun: I have texted Park Jaebum recently. He knows that we are holding this conference. He wanted to give us a video recording.
Jung Wook: He knows of the notification, too.

12. In the future, will 2PM be adding a new member or deciding another leader?

Jung Wook + Members: There are no plans.

13. Is there really no chance for Park Jaebum's return? And if he returns through a different company, what is your opinion on the matter?

Jung Wook + Members: There is no possibility for him to return through 2PM.
Chansung: If Jaebum wishes to take responsbility for all of this and comes back as a celebrity, we will encourage him. However, I think a return through 2PM is out of the question.

14. Couldn't the company have covered for the severe personal mistake? And, if the members did not agree to Jaebum's withdrawal, don't you think the issue wouldn't have gotten this far?

Members: It's not something we can just cover.
Jung Wook: We were put in a situation where the only thing we could do was agree. That is why we agreed. If we hadn't, I believe that the results would be the same.

15. If the controversy last September never happened, would your decision still stand the same?

Everyone: Yes

16. Do you personally control the cyworlds of the members? There are posts that went up after the 8th that have created much controversy amongst the fans. Are they all your posts?

Wooyoung: Yes, I was truly frustrated which is why I wrote it.
Chansung: Yes. I was truly in a state of confusion which is why I wrote it like so. But it has nothing to do with the issue.
Jung Wook: We believe that a celebrity must be responsible for his own personal and social life. We do not control them.

17. What do the members think of the boycott?

Junho: We didn't care because we knew that Jaebum would return and knew that it would all be solved with his return. But honestly speaking, I would be lying if I said wasn't hurt. If, after today, the boycott continues, then I will think of it as the fans hating us. We will show that we will be trying our best through our songs and performances.

18. If the severe mistake is revealed to be false, do you realize that you will be charged for libel?

Jung Wook: We only wrote of the truth.

19. Will Park Jaebum be able to receive the income for his 1st and 2nd singles?

Jung Wook: He will have to discuss that and reach an agreement with copyright officials. It has nothing to do with JYPE.

20. Will you continue to use the name 'Hottests' for 2PM's fanclub?

Jung Wook: Yes. Are you saying that the members are not 2PM? No. The 6 members are 2PM, therefore, we will continue to use Hottests.

21. The members were revealed to be on vacation when the specifed date of January 6th was revealed.

Wooyoung: It was our first vacation.
Taecyeon: We are celebrities. We cannot cringe at the people we meet.
Chansung: We cannot meet our families during the holidays with dark faces. What do you want? Do you want us to make a fool of ourselves asking for Jaebum to come back on live broadcasts?

22. Do you know the rumors circulating on the internet? Will you protect him?

Wooyoung: We are not throwing him away but protecting him. We knew that we would regret it if it was later revealed.
Chansung: Please don't be skeptical of our friendship.
Junho: After finding out on January 3rd, I honestly hated Jaebum. We had always tried our best for his return. However, we believe that silence will protect him.
Taecyeon: I believe that rumors will always disappear after time.

23. Why is there no fee for the termination of his contract?

The other members have a lot of CF, etc contracts but there are none for Jaebum. That is why there are no fees.

24. Please reveal Park Jaebum's exact contract terms.

Jung Wook: His contract was set for 7 years. We offered 10, then offered 8, and then again for 7 years.

25. Park Jinyoung stated on Golden Fishery that Park Jaebum's return will definitely be through 2PM. What is the company doing now to hold true to that statement?

Jung Wook: Up until December 22nd, when he called us, he was still a precious member with the chance of a return.

26. What are you doing to support Jaebum in America? Park Jinyoung specifically stated that he is receiving support and training from JYPE.

Jung Wook: We had trainers reach him in Seattle at the end of September. We had always tried our best for his return.

27. JYPE has used Park Jaebum's name to promote and market 2PM's 6 membered album. Was this in order to hold the fanbase down or was it really part of a plan to have Park Jaebum return?

Jung Wook: In my heart, he was a precious member from the minute he left Korea to the day he called me on the 22nd of December. However, after the 22nd, things have changed.

28. JYP Entertainment previously revealed that the first official album will have the income distributed evenly amongst the members, including leader Park Jaebum. However, there are many opinions that go against this statement. Please correctly specify the income distribution terms.

Jung Wook: The income earned through December of last year was distributed and finalized in January.

The 2PM Fan Union agrees that everything stated above is the truth and not a lie.

[News] JYPE Is Just Engaging In Media Play

2PM fans claim that facts don't line up with JYPE's announcement

Fans are swept in shock after JYP Entertainment released information regarding Jaebum's contract termination.

Fans are stating that this is 'a groundless rumor' and that JYP Entertainment is engaging in media play. Fans have fallen into panic mode, causing the official homepage to crash and are heading towards the JYPE building.

Fans are rejecting a statement within the announcement that claimed that the members of 2PM agreed to Jaebum's withdrawal on the 6th of January.

"JYPE is just engaging in media play. The rest of the members are wanting Jaebum's return."

The date of January 6th is said to be a problem because of the following reasons.

On the 3rd of February at Seoul's Gayo Daejun, 2PM had won the bonsang, in which Junho stated in his award speech, "I would like to thank Jaebum hyung for working hard with us."

On the 14th of February, Nichkhun made a statement regarding Jaebum on his Thailand trip saying, "He's an awesome hyung. I miss him."

Fans are claiming that if the members agreed to Jaebum's terminations, they would not have said such things.

"They had no idea of Jaebum's withdrawal which is why they said such things. The company knew that the boycotting by fans will effect the income of the company and are throwing him away."

LYRICS:
January 13th, do you remember the day?
The day I came to this foreign land
The fact that I was alone was such a big wall
Where I went to find hope, there was no hope

There were only walls that trapped me in
I looked for light in a place that only gave me pain
A race for my dreams

Finally, it starts

Girl, I'm with you
I pray to be able to laugh by your side
I'm back to you, girl
We are ONEDAY, forever
A happy time that will never stop

The 7 stars were able to add wings to their dreams
I am not alone
I'm going to become the brightest star and light the world
I'm your super star

Girl, I'm with you
I pray to be able to laugh by your side
I'm back to you, girl
I'm sorry, I'll never leave again, I promise you

I lost my dreams to one mistake
But I will never give up
I'm 2PM's leadja
In order to fulfill that last minute in 2PM, I'll go back
I'm not afraid even if I'm alone
I have you guys walking behind my back
Let's walk together forever, HOTTEST
And my precious ONEDAY

Let's not spill any tears so we don't get hurt
I'll always be by your side
In this world, only lovely you & I

Girl, I'm with you
I pray to be able to laugh by your side
I'm back to you, girl
We are ONEDAY, forever
A happy time that will never stop

We can no longer be separated
Without you, I can't breathe
I'll be there forever
I hope that you'll be with me too

For always protecting me by my side, I love you
Girl, I'm with you
Just my one heart
I want to give it to you guys
Back to you, girl
ONEDAY forever
A happy time that will never stop

Produced by Min
Sung by Yejin
Rap by 'TrueChansung'

Then I pressed 3 for management?
They answered...kkk

JYPE: Yes, this is JYP.
Hottest: This is JYPE right?
J: Yes
H: I was curious about something, I thought Taecyeon oppa (*and the others) were going to avoid variety programs temporarily, why is he appearing on Family Outing?
J: They did not go on variety programs previously.
H: What?
J: They did not go on variety programs previously. (in a slightly angry tone)
H: I thought it they were going to avoid appearing on variety programs until Jaebum oppa returned?
J: (scoffs) We never stated that they would not be appearing on variety programs until Jaebum-sshi returned.
H: I think it doesn't make sense that you are going through with something the fans don't want.
J: Okay, we understand.
H: Excuse me?
J: We get it. -- (the person got really angry here)
H: Oh okay.

And then they hung up.
Everyone says that they weren't able to contact them but I got through.
Gosh, they were really rude --
It was the first time I was talking to JYP so I spoke a lot of gibberish but they were so rude. kkkk

[News]VIP understand what Hottest Felt

After the controversies stirred by G-Dragon's solo concert for unlawful and provocative performances, VIPs (Big Bang's official fanclub) express their concerns and also voice their feelings to the Hottest.

As the Korean people and netizens have voiced their disapproval of GD's concert antics, more and more VIPs are getting worried and afraid that G-Dragon's actions during the concert will affect the Big Bang leader and his life as a celebrity.


As Shine A Light is G-Dragon's first solo concert, thousands of fans, including those who were underage, gathered to watch his performances. The fans, ones that were there and international fans who watched the concert through fancams, enjoyed the concert. However, soon after the photos and fancams circulated the internet, issues arose.

Everything at the concert was fine until "Breathe" began. "Breathe" was previously banned from underage audiences long before the concert due to its lyrics and the performance of it even moreso displayed what the song was about. It featured dancer Aimee Lucas lying on a bed and displayed a lot of skinship with G-Dragon to the audience. Netizens declared that the point was to express a "sex" scene. There was even the sound of heavy breathing mixed in with the original track during the instrumental. Netizens stated that the scene was too much for the underage that were present.

As people go on Korean search engines and type in G-Dragons name, "G-Dragon's Withdrawal" comes out as one of the common queries.





With this, the VIPs are concerned with the on going movement that calls for G-Dragon's withdraw from his group Big Bang. They have called this action excessive and unneccessary. They have used Jaebum's (who left Korea for Seattle) incident to ask why netizens have to crush a rising stars dreams and ambitions.

They have reached out to the Hottest saying, "we finally understand what you guys went through."

Do you guys feel this controversy is being blown out of proportion or the movement is justified?

In English:
These people stood up during intermission and shouted, “Please take pictures of this and spread it!! Please do not forget Park Jaebum!!!!!!” which caused many reporters to take pictures of it and all the fans there to cheer out in support and say how admirable they were, it was no joke.
Hotties are really amazing.

[News] Ivy, “I did not close down my minihompy because of 2PM fans”

Singer Ivy comes out to explain the statement she wrote on her minihompy ‘Thank you Hottest’ while closing down her minihompy.

Ivy’s performance with 2PM Nich Khun previously on 21st November on 2009 MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) has attracted many bashing on her minihompy by fans. In the end, her minihompy was closed down, and she left a message thanking 2PM fans Hottests which had led to another round of criticisms. .

But Ivy reveals that the reason for closing down her site is not 2PM fans, “It is very much a misunderstanding.”


Ivy said, “Even though there are fans who left hurtful bashing message on my minihompy, the message was meant for those who complimented me on the performance that day. I wanted to thank those people hence the message was posted up when the minihompy was closed down.”

She added, “I have also been through the phase as a highschooler who idolizes stars, I understand the fans very well, and because of that I want to thank the 2PM fans who have encouraged me.”

[news] kHottest phone call with JYPE about tVN News

NOTE: NO BASHING ALLOWED EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE EXPRESSING YOUR ANGER. Keep it clean!



this is something that came up on daum i think not too long ago. a khottest called jype to ask some questions. i've read through a lot of phone convo's of khottest and jype but i think this is the best one. plus it's recent and has to do with tvN's release of jay's personal life.

*throughout the translation, i will refer to the jype staff as "he" - nobody except for the person who called knows if it was actually a female or a male.
*to avoid confusion i italicized the parts that are the khottest's opinion.

QUOTE
1. 취재방송전 소속사에 동의를 구하지 않는지 묻기동의를 구하지 않고 촬영했다고 한다.
내가 그럼 청담동도 취재할때 동의를 구하지 않느냐 했더니
한국과 미국의 지역 차이라는 어처구니없는 대답을 했다.
결국 6명멤버 촬영시 사전동의가 이루어지나 재범촬영시에는 그렇지 않다는것을 인정했다.

2. 방송사실을 알고 있었는지 묻기
전혀 몰랐다고 한다. 아침에 기사를 보고 알아서 지금 논의중이라고 한다
그래서 도대체 소속사에서는 항상 늦게 대응하고 그 대응책도 논의만 하고 논의를 진짜 하긴하냐고했더니
대답을 못했다.

3. 앞으로 박재범사생활 침해시 강력대응하겠다고 기사까지 났었는데 대응책에 대해 묻기
기사는 나갔지만 강력대응에 대한 대책은 하나도 없다. 질문에 정확한 답변을 하지 못한다.
그러므로 결국 말뿐인 대책인것이다

4. 박재범이 알바를 하고 있다는 사실을 알았는지 묻기 (소속가수인데 서포트를 어느부분까지 해주는지 확인하기)
아르바이트를 하는것은 소속사 상관할바가 아니라고 했다
그래서 그럼 6명 멤버들도 소속사 소속이면서 아르바이트를 할 수 있는것이냐 했더니
대답할 수 없다고 말했다.
결국 박재범이 알바하는것은 관련사항이 아니나 6명멤버들은 알바를 할 수 없다는것이다.

5. 박재범에게 춤/보컬트레이너를 붙여줬는지 사실 확인하기.
진행되고 있느나 사실여부는 모르겠다
그럼 도대체 그 담당직원이 모르며 누가 아나? 박진영이 혼자 하냐? 정욱대표가 혼자 하냐?
확실한건 진행되지 않았다. 구해주지도 않았다는 것이다.

6. 한밤방송건의 정정보도 요청 공식적으로 하기로 하셨는지 묻기
공식적으로 정정보도 요청건 논의해보겠다고 했으나 논의한적도 없고 건의할 생각도 없다
왜냐하면 오늘도 똑같이 확인해보겠다라는 말만 되풀이 했다

7. 연말에 있을 박재범에 대한 기사,방송에 대한 어떤 대응책을 갖고 있는지 묻기
대응책을 별달리 마련해논게 없는것으로 보여진다.
자세히 추궁하자 담당자 연결해준다면서 전화를 끊어버렸다.

translations:
1. Asking if tvN asked permission from JYPE before invasion(?) broadcasting.
He said they didnt ask for permission. So I asked, "don't you guys ask for permission when digging into research" and they said a bizzare answer that "it's the difference between Korea and America." In the end, you can say they admitted prior consent is necessary for broadcasting/filming of the other 6 members but not for Jaebum.

2. Asking if JYPE knew about the broadcast.
He says they had no idea. They saw the articles online in the morning and now are discussing the issue. So I asked why the company (JYPE) is always so late at reacting and "discussing" without any counter-movement plans and if they actually were even "discussing" this with tvN but he couldn't answer.

3. Asking about JYPE's counter-movement plans to strongly prevent invasion of Jaebum's privacy in the future like JYPE stated in news articles.
News articles were published but they have no counter-movement plans - he couldn't even answer my question clearly. You can say JYPE's "counter-movement plans" are nothing but talk.

4. Asking if JYPE knew Jaebum was working part time (Checking how much support JYPE is giving Jaebum as his company).
He said it's none of JYPE's business if Jaebum works part time or not. So I asked if the rest of the 2pm members are allowed to work part time under JYPE contract and he said he can't answer. You can say Jaebum working part time isn't relevant to JYPE but the rest of 2pm aren't allowed to work part time.

5. Checking if JYPE supported Jaebum with a vocal and dance trainer.
He said it's in the process but he doesn't know for sure. If the person in charge of it doesn't know, then who does? Does only JYP do this himself? Or representative Mr. JungWook? Nothing has been done for sure. They didn't even try to help Jaebum.

6. Asking if JYPE officially requested to HanBam for a correction.
Although JYPE "officially" announced they will request for a correction and discuss with them, they haven't ever had this discussion or even have thoughts of proposing one. I know this because he said that he'll check over and over again just like he did any other day.

7. Asking about what JYPE's plan is for all the future articles about Jaebum that will come up towards the end of the year.
It looks like they don't have any plans. As I asked specifically in more detail, he said he'll connect me to the person in charge and just hung up.

[Cyworld] Clarification regarding Ivy's Cyworld

Thank you Hottests! Homepage will be temporarily discontinued

Original:
아이비가 홈피 문구에 고마워요 핫티스트 한 건 비꼬는 게 아니라
핫티스트들이 댓글로 응원 많이 해줘서 정말 고마움의 표시로 한 거예여ㅎ
그리고 홈피 폐쇄한 게 아니라 사진첩에 악플이 너무 많아서
사진첩만 잠시 닫은 거거든여?


In English:
Ivy was not being sarcastic to Hottests on her homepage header.
She was showing her gratitude by thanking Hottests for leaving so many comments of support.
Also, she is not closing her homepage, but just the photo album because there were too many comments on it.

[INFO] kHottests picket protest in front of Inkigayo

"The Generation of Disbelief in JYP"

"The time now is 1:59 PM.
There is no longer any belief in JYP.
There is no Hottest in 6PM's activities."

A fancafe went to SBS Inkigayo's hall and did a picket protest along with putting up banners and signature petitions. The fans of other artists showed great positive interest and offered to sign their names on our petitions.

There were a lot of 2PM fans but they have moved to support other artists with the promise that they will return when Jaebum does.

Thank you to all of our cafe members that met us in front of the hall.

[NEWS] 2PM Fan Union, 2nd round of donations and community service

2PM Fanpage Underground for fans over 20, has started the 2nd round of donations through the Naver Happy Bean on the 24th and 25th to the 'Children's Foundation', by donating books and doing community service.

In the Naver Happy Bean bank called 'People waiting for 2PM Leadja Park Jaebum,' fans have collected over $8500, and this was donated to the 'Children's foundation' to be used to support the children's study room and book collection.

An anonymous publishing company expressed their desire to participate and donated 300 books which was then distributed to 19 different welfare facilities under the name 'Underground.' International fans have also participated in the good works by donating $1500. The fan site 2oneday (http://www.2oneday.com) based in N. America, sent $1500, which was then donated to InKAS (International Korean Adoptee Service) and will also be used to purchase books for international adoptees.

Also, members of 'Underground' have proceeded with offline community service by visiting the 'Children's Foundation' welfare center in the mountains on the 25th. This is the second time they have visited after their first visit in September along with their donation to the 'Foundation for undernourished children'.

Furthermore, on October 10th, when Dream Concert was held, they have raised around $7650 by organizing a bazaar through the 'Beautiful Store'. During this bazaar, 30% of the profits made ($2550) was donated to a 5th grader at an orphanage.

'Underground' has been proceeding with the series of good works apart from Jaebum's withdrawal issue. This was not meant to be a one time thing, as their intention was to share with those in need, provide service, and they will continue doing good works through donations
and community service.
