‘Even the conference is useless’ Jaebum controversy ‘JYP-Fandom Parallel Race’After the conference, JYP and fans have gone in two completely different directions. A reconciliation or resolution between the two sides looks ambiguous.
After the announcement of the termination of Jaebum’s contract, attention in the entertainment industry was flooded toward the conference held on the 27th between 2PM members and JYP representatives and fans ended only where both sides revealed their stances. Although many had hoped for a good conclusion where both sides understood each other, both JYP reps and fans alike were left in disappointment.
Already, this situation has caused some 2PM fans to leave the fandom. As the days passes, the number of fans in the fan club are decreasing. Few fans here and there are protesting the 6 members of 2PM and have turned into ‘anti’ fans. In a situation where everyone is a victim, the situation is just spreading into a worse situation.
After the conference a representative of JYP said, “2PM members and Jung Wook representative were present for 4 hours as the conference progressed and tried their best to answer all questions.” Also he revealed, “On the receiving end of the news, we don’t know how fans are going to take this.”
However, fans’ positions are the complete opposite. Some fans raised her voice and said, “JYP and the 6 members are all fake.” JYP representatives only answered questions one-sidely was also a complaint expressed.
In the future, JYPE and fans parallels will continue. Some even worry that 2PM and the fandom will disassemble. In addition to this, the April album release may be a difficult possibility to come by if this continues. In reality, Jaebum’s return is now impossible is what a majority of those affiliated with the industry claim. Many also think that it is unfortunate that 2PM will be trapped in a cloud of fog in the future due to this situation.
On another hand, present at the fan conference on the 27th was 2PM’s Fan Union and if we follow what the file recording states, when asked for the possibility of Jaebum Park’s return, JYP Entertainment and the 6 members revealed, “There is no possibility of a return to 2PM”.
Member Chansung explains, “If Jaebum can endure everything and returns to the entertainment industry, we will
cheer him on. But a return to 2PM will not be the case.”
Regarding the personal issue all members answered, “It was a situation that we could not possibly cover up for him” and Jung Wook agreed, “It was a situation where there was no choice but for the members to agree on his departure from the group. It seems that even if they didn’t all agree the result would’ve been the same.”
Also, in regards to the “serious personal problem”, they revealed that only the members and a few of the JYPE staff knew what it was. This ‘serious problem’ was one that they did not want to be revealed outside. Then a fan asked, “Then if it is revealed to the public, we can assume it was released by you?” Jung Wook answered, “We do not want this to be revealed, but even if it is not revealed by us and is leaked that we are not responsible for it.”
In addition he states, “JYPE has no responsibility to take care of our artists personal lives, so we think that Jaebum Park is solely responsible for his actions. So looking at this situation schematically, Park Jaebum is the offender and the 6 members of 2PM are the victims.”
