No more 2PM.
This is going to be a long, emo post.
Read it, or leave it it's up to you. :)
For the first time in my life after being a Kpop fan since I was 14, I've lost hope on my favourite group. I guess they ARE tired of waiting, after all. Not even 2 years since they debuted in September 4 2008, Jay left the group. He is the leader. If you're not a Hottest, you won't understand. Hottest is the name of their official fanclub. Like Super Junior they have ELF (Everlasting Friends) and Big Bang they have the VIP and the list goes on. People might think "Why is she calling herself hot? what the fish?" -___- haha! No. Hottest is the name of the fanclub.
This all started in September 2009 when Jay's
Myspace comment surfaced on the internet and he
left Korea and went back to Seattle. The comments he made was back in the year 2005 when he was still a trainee.
(I was 12 back then) He's from the US and can't speak Korean fluently, different food, and the most important is, the culture is waaay different. The worst thing is that there's even a
petition made by the netizens saying that he should commit suicide. Moving on, multiple sources said that the 2PM members cried when Jay left. I don't know if this is true or not.
The Hottest started to boycott 2PM when Jay left. No, many of them are not Jay bias. I hate when I see comments like "Oh, you guys are Jay bias, that's why you're boycotting and not supporting the other 6 members" so just hush. Hottest around the world did flashmobs to get leadja
(leader Jaebeom) back. Proof?
Here,
here,
here,
here, and the list goes on and on.
The only update we've got on Jay after he left was Jay and his crew (Art of Movement) entering the breakdancing competition. You can look it up on YouTube. The other 6 members made a comeback with their first album 01:59PM. Maybe to show that they're incomplete without Jay? Who knows. They became more popular after the contorversy. They received awards, and lots of cfs such as Samsung Corby that I've been craving since last year, Spris, Paris Baguette, etc.
So. Not long after that, JYP himself said to Kang Hodong in
Golden Fishery that he will bring Jay back. After all that has happened for the past few months, I have no doubt to say this :
IT'S A FREAKING LIE. Jay's contract is officially terminated on the 25th February 2010. No more 2PM. You can read the letter from JYP
here.
27th February : The conference between the JYP representatives, 2PM and 87 fans
The conference lasted for 4 hours according to insider2pm. Easy to say, in just five hours, 2PM’s official fan cafe on Daum lost 46,000 members (and counting) from the original 329,000. I got this news from allkpop. I read lots of articles regarding their behaviours during the conference. Some articles stated that the boys were rude, some articles denied it. Which source should you trust? I chose to believe the ones who were at the conference, rather than the ones who translated the audio without knowing their body language and all. It can make a huuuge different since they're not allowed to take videos. And they're not polite after all :
Q: Members made final decision on Jaebeom on January 6th. The members were currently away on vacation and were spotted with smiles on.
A (Wooyoung): It was our first vacation.
(Taecyeon): We are celebrities. We cannot frown in public.
(Chansung): I cannot make sad faces when meeting up with relatives over holidays. What do you want? Do you want us to cause a scene during live performances, asking for Jaebeom to come back?
Q: Do you know of rumors that are spreading on the Internet? Aren’t you going to protect Jaebeom?
A (Wooyoung): We are not abandoning him, we are protecting him. I thought that if the details were released in future, I might regret my decisions.
(Chansung): Please do not question our friendship.
(Junho): After being told about what he had done, I honestly hated Jaebeom. We tried our best for his return, but right now, I think that staying silent is the best I can do for him.
(Taecyeon): Rumors will go away.
Hottest has divided into two : anti boycott and pro boycott. Some still want to support the other 6 members, but some had decided to not support the members who can't even save their own leader. You can read the source's update after the conference
here. Later after that, the sasaeng fans
(fans who follow their idols 24/7) revealed some rather shocking news about the boys. The other side of them. I don't even know how this could've happened in the first place. I was crying to say the least
(yeah, so what?) confused and furious. Here's the translated article : click
here and
here credits to insider2PM.
So, basically, I think I'm gonna stop liking them if they acted this way. Stabbed Jay's back, not wanting him to return, and etc. And I got this update from Sis Nad a few hours ago :
here to be honest, I'm confused. They have lost my trust from the conference. But why the staff from JYP resigned and even admitted that todays' 2PM is not the old 2PM? You be the judge. :)
**EDIT :
I just asked insider2PM regarding the
this site. The owner of the tumblr said that she did some of her own investigations on a sasaeng fan tumblr which is
this one. It's about the whole Jay sleeping in the corner, Khun being ignored and pictures of Taec with a girl thing. I was confused because insider2PM updated their
wordpress and gave us a link to another
sasaeng account , pretty much the same from the sasaeng's fan tumblr. So I asked them about the tumblr.
(The one who defended the boys) Click on the image below to read her thoughts
(insider2PM) and explaination regarding this matter. And yes, no more support for 2PM. Just Jay and Khun.
