JaeBum declares leaving 2PM, and sets off for hometown Seattle on 8th

jb_050909_3

2PM JaeBum will be leaving for the States after he declares that he will be leaving the group officially on 8th Septmber.

JaeBum posted a message on 2PM’s official fancafe on 8th September at 11.59am, with the title to the post “This is JaeBum” informing fans about his leaving of the group.

The incident happened with JaeBum’s Korean-offending messages posted on his MySpace page in 2005 were discovered on 5th September. With that, many Koreans netizens were unhappy and in just 4 days after the incident, JaeBum has decided to leave the group.

JaeBum will be leaving for his hometown Seattle on 8th September. After knowing that JaeBum will be leaving for the states, many fans have stated, “We should prevent JaeBum from leaving Korea. And there are plans for fans to come together at the airport.

After it was declared that JaeBum will be leaving the group, there was a new petition up on Agora to “Stop JaeBum from leaving 2PM”. And it seems that this affection for Korea by JaeBum has came just too late after the incident.

Meanwhile, JaeBum’s message left on the official fancafe on 8th September goes:

Hello. This is JaeBum from 2PM. I’m sorry to give a last farewell with this message. With that very apologetic heart I have, it seems it is hard for me to see everyone on stage again.”

I’m very sorry to everyone. I’m even more sorry to fans who have gave so much love. I will be leaving 2PM from today. I’m so sorry but I have to leave 2PM and you guys because I have been a leader hyung who not only did not give strength but became a burden. I’m once again sorry.”

Meanwhile, it was said that JaeBum has left Korea for the States to evade from being enlisted for military service after the incident, and the case was compared to as the ‘2nd Yoo Seung Joon’ incident.

Meanwhile, at the airport

  13. […] It’s been 100 days on 16th December since JaeBum left Korea previously on 8th September. […]

  14. OH MY GOSH! dang, who cares ! Let jae bum be, what have he done to deserve this, nothing! all you dumb NETIZENS have no life, otherwise you wouldn’t be doing this! You act like your life is so freaken good and awesome! Stop okay, your life is way more pathetic then mines and anybody else! you are just an ignorant child who cannot find any other things to do! you act like people have never made mistakes before in there life! korea is gay? and? it’s his opinion, is he going to die by just saying that and other crap and garbage? no, i don’t think so! Let him be, not all celebrities have it easy on them, some even commit suicide, or some even die of depression! Even if he won’t be in 2PM no more, doesn’t mean anything! Some people act like they can’t keep living just because of one simple PERSON! We all used to be ignorant, dumb, and not thinking correctly! also some still are! Jae bum, let him be, what are you to be snoozing in other people’s business, like you’re some kind of special internet retard specialist!

  15. i feel bad for him, they have to understand, he was a kid when he wrote those words yearsss ago!
    not only that, he was born and raised in america, culture, food and everyhing is WAY different.
    he might have been ignorant back then, but it doesnt mean he didnt change. everyone makes mistakes. not everyone is perfect. from what it looks like, he is truely sorry, he misses korea/ fans and his team! netizens are just making a bigger deal out of it, then it should be. the things he said on myspace was very immature of him, but like he said…..he was young! hes a grown man now. give him a break

  16. Jae I really do hope you get a chance to read this, you did something stupid and you regretted it and apologized for it you did all that you could to amend for it so please know that there are people out there that do support you no matter what you decide. Yes as a fan to your music and your fab. dancing I wish you would return but as true fans we must not only think about what’s best for 2pm we must think about what is best for you cause if your heart is not in it or if it will hurt you and you don’t want to go back I will still support you.

  17. […] fancam of 2PM member WooYoung’s encouraging message to fellow member JaeBum, who left the group on 8th September, has been the hot topic amongst fans and netizens […]

  18. jay,its so hard to accept the fact ur leaving 2pm,
    ur the leader,and ur the big brother to 2pm’s member,i’m not korean,but my friends here leave in thi country were really2 miss you,i dont want to hear any songs by2pm again until Jay bck to korea and be 2pm’s leader,i wish i can bring you bac to korea,i understand you Jay.it remind me the movie like “Wild Child” everyone change..please come back to Korea.ur brothers need you..i cant stop crying when hearing 2pm songs because one of them was leaving the group,and i feel incomplete with that..so i will always pray to God for you to come back to korea..to Netizens,please forgive him..please..2pm members need him,and their fans feel incomplete without him..i will always pray to god,everyday,everynight,everyminute..and i believe he’ll come back,and i always will..

  19. WHAT THE F IS WRONG WITH ANTI FANS IN KOREA!!!!!!! seriously i just heard about a handsom korean model that commited suicide, because anti-fans kept calling him gay. Some one actually started a petition in this site for jaebom to cimmit suicide, seriously isn’t that freaking illegal?
    lets look at chris brown, he did something way worse he beat a woman, that was just a few dang months ago, but his career is still strong because of all his fans. Jaebom put that post up like 4 years ago and people over-react.

    i don’t think i’m gonna be able to type anymore because im so damn pissed. i just discovered 2PM music like 2 months ago, and now ill never heard a complete song again!! thanks a lot anti fans, why don’t you go put some other talented person to suicide or ruin their future career

    ~amazingly pissed

  20. i just wanna ask this from the people who wanted Jae to leave! ARE YOU HAPPY? cuz we’re not. U KNOW WHY? cuz we’re so hurt from what you did to our most favorite group.

  21. netizens are so immature!
    i think jay’s first impression of korea is proving to be correct.
    dont these people have a life??
    ARGH!!!

  22. That’s the thing with some Korean fans. They never give artistes a chance. Same thing goes for SNSD last year. Now netizens of Korea can just harp about it for about a few years or so. I understand Jaebum’s feelings but I don’t think it’s a right move to leave just like that. I mean… if SNSD can stand the boycott incident Jaebum can definately rise up against those retard netizens and show them that he can do better. After all, it’s HIS own myspace page and those comments were from 2005. Gosh it’s something from 4 years ago. Childish netizens, I would say. They should be ashamed of themselves.

  23. i love 2pm and without jay it be diffrent,.
    why he must leave from 2pm group,.
    after so much working and finally become K-pop singer,.
    and get lot of famous,.
    jay was leave his group behind,.
    T_T

    The accounts are so sad, I really really can’t believe this has happened,
    2PM will never be the same again O.o

    I really hope he comes back soon..

  28. its really wierd, the day when i get Jaebum’s autograph, Jaebum leaves the group the next day~~~ TT TT im sooo deppressed!!!!!! but im happy i got his autograph as a sign of farewell~~

    Damn..why i have tears in my eyes now..TT-TT

    I miss him alot now..huhu….

  32. “JaeBum has left Korea for the States to evade from being enlisted for military service after the incident, and the case was compared to as the ‘2nd Yoo Seung Joon’ incident.” ….people this is probably incorrect because he is an American citizen. He was born in the states so he is not required to do the military service, and even if he did have to do it he is only 22 he stills has 8 more years to go before he has to “evade” from being enlisted.

  34. wow, what a pussy. Obviously he isn’t man enough to take a downtrend hit. I thought he was tight, but now he ain’t. Nigga got no game.

  35. it doesn’t make sense.. he’s leaving from being drafted in the military service??? isn’t he an american citizen??? why is this circulating when he’s an american born citizen?

  37. WHAT?!?!????! NOOOOOO!
    UGHHHH That’s so fricken stupid!
    AWWWWWWWWWWW urgh! if i lived in SKorea, HELLYEAH

    i love him in 2PM. UGHHHH that so freaken stupid.
    Dumb Netizens! LOOK AT what you did!
    This was like the friggen LAST straw i had for these ppls.
    Is the petition even working?

  38. OMFG i cant believe it
    see what you did you neitzens
    now we fan girls dont have 2pm anymore
    2pm is no 2pm without 7 memebrs

    Jaebeom Oppa~! you leave so suddenly~!
    i gonna miss you ,so is the group 2pm~!
    i hopee you will come back ='(

  39. We hope jaebeom will come back soon with 2PM..we here for you JAEBEOM OPPA…see you with 2PM soon,,,

  40. he cant be enlisted in the Korean army, he’s a US citizen
    you can’t have dual citizenship with Korea/USA, he would have to renounce his American citizenship and why would he do that??

  42. SIGN THE PETITION!!!
    for our leader’s sake!!!

    http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Jaebeom2PM

    thx!!!

    LOVE n SUPPORT OUR LEADER!!!

  43. ouch, my heart is hurting so much! *flooded with tears* T___T

    why it had to end this way. i want him back!!! JAY love all the way from Malaysia. <3333333

  44. OOOOOMMMMGGGG! I’m so sad snifff ! whyyyyy?! life is bad….

  45. Bring Jay back!

    What is JYPE thinking, letting someone as talented as him go so easily?! He spent FOUR bloody years as a trainee only to soar for ONE year?! NONO. PARK JAEBEOM HAS MUCH MORE POTENTIAL TO FLY!

    If Koreans doesn’t want him nor welcome him, the REST OF THE WORLD WOULD, DEFINITELY.

    Rest well Jay, 2PM FIGHTING!

    Love from Singapore (:

  46. What do you mean evading military service. He’s a US citizen and can’t serve. Anyways why leave one country with no wars to go back to one with 2.

  47. i think he’s already tired with all the stardom he gets where he has no freedom to speak up and at the same time, the pressure on him. i guess he gave up after seeing so many hurtful msgs.

    i hope he nvr quits. he will come back for sure, at least back to korea.

    love you jaebum if you’re reading this. nvr give up.

  48. i think Kenley is right, based on his comment i think he decided to leave based on whats best for the group with all the media and stuff. Because i’m sure 2PM members didn’t want him to leave, but he himself chose to leave. Anyway i REALLY hope hes changes his mind, because although he may think its best for the group, i think all Hottests and Members just want him back.

  49. eishhh, JYP can’t you do something about this. Members and fan clearly don’t want him to leave. who cares what these netizens think. Jay you can’t give up now so easily, after all that hardwork in your trainee days and leaving America. I don’t believe Wooyoung even fainted, alot of WooJay love there. 2PM Hwaiting!!! Jaebum PLEASE come back!!!

  50. damn, it must be a perfect lie! he can’t leave 2 P< like that! he's the leader, and they're going to release album! please tell me this is a lie!

  51. I wish the best to Jaebum and the members of 2PM. Hottest, I feel for all of you, cuz as a Sone I know how it feels to have your idols bashed. This situation was completely unfair. All I have to say to those netizens who ruined Jaebum: KARMA’S A BITCH.

    Jaebum, 2PM, HOTTEST FIGHTING!!!!!!!

  52. I am so sad now……

    ….……how dare these antis do this???? How dare they???=

    They have no effin’ right. I can’t believe this.

    I am so sad right now I don’t know what to do.

    I want Jay to come back. Really I do. But I know he did for the group, so that 2pm won’t suffer for the things he did in his past….

    ….I hate hate this.I wish that the antis who caused this will receive their dues…like bad karma. I do believe in karma.

    My perception of antis and netizens had gone to a new level. Believe me….

    I hope Jay returns to 2pm. Or that JYP stop him. or that this was just a break.

    Stupid, stupid, selfish, antis.

  53. ARE U HEPY NOW ALL HATERS???
    BASHERS???
    ANTIS???

    yeah..they just know how 2 kick down all da kpop entertainers~
    lol…now dat u found out dat he used 2 msg his us fren dat he really love korea in 2006,but dats all aftr he quit, now u’re s0RRY??regret???

    we won’t let any of dis hppen 2 other leaders~

  54. the netizen made him leave so they should bring him back if they are sorry at all!!!

    so people in here don’t really care b/c those crazy netizen!!!!

    i want jaybum back now!!! 2pm will not be the same without him.. if there is no american korean boy who has to ask nickhun about korean!! there is no 2pm!! i would rather see them get disband ( sadly to say) than to see someone else in there group or just the 6 of them..

    or the rest of the member could go to america and stay with jay until he comes back!!! which might work!!!

  55. i’m tearing……
    so0o0 sad~~~~

  56. THIS JUST MY HEARTBREAKER… esto ha a roto mi corazon profundamente ,…………………………

  57. FUCK THOSE NETIZENS WHAT KIND OF USELESS CRAP WOULD THEY SAY TO HURT PEOPLE?!?? IT WAS FUCKING YEARS AGO.
    FUCK ‘EM.
    JAYBUM EVERYONE HERE LOVES YOU,, NO MATTER WAT YOU WROTE. ❤

  58. Please help Jaebum redeem himself, show your support for Jaebum during this difficult time, and sign a petition of fans supporting a possible foray into the American entertainment industry. It is the only way that he will be able to redeem himself in the Korean public’s eyes. Plus, he has a better chance of achieving something in the US than all the other native-Koreans that have tried before him.

    http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/supportjaebum

  59. it’s not his fault!! he shouldn’t leave!! it’s mistakes he have done before his debut!! when he is young and immature, we all have done mistakes before
    he’s my fav member from 2pm.. it’s such painful to watch

  60. Let Jay be. I think it’s crucial time for him and he needs his family and friends support.

  61. so sad to see this happening…

    The Netizens are going to much this time

  62. i cried when i saw the fans kneeling down

  63. OMG!!!!
    Jay pleaseeee come backk X(

  64. where is that staker girl who posted his 4 yrs comment? Let me know where she is….i will personally hunt her down like a bitch!

  65. While this is very sad news, I hope Jay finds his happiness, if that means moving back to the United States then so be it. I feel really bad for the 2pm members during this time and this just goes too show that sometimes words can be powerful. Korean netizens should be ashamed at what they have done by causing a young guy to give up his dreams due to a 3-4 year mistake.

  66. I wonder why Koreans won’t post something on cyworld
    like.. an article or something that says
    “International netizens are mad/pissed/disappointed/frustrated at Korean netizens”

    • I AM SO AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS…SOMETHIN LIKE THE WORLD ARE ASHAME OF YOU FOR DESTROYING A HUMAN BEING DREAM AND HIS YEARS OF HARD WORK..AFTER HE APOLOGIZE FOR HIS WRONG BUT YOU IGNORANT PEOPLE WONT FORGIVE HIM….P.S ROT IN HELL SOMETHIN LIKE THAT!!!

  67. I’m like so pissed
    my feelings are like “If I can see those netizens who posted
    unfair comments to jaebeom. I swear I’ll torture her.”
    He’s gone! SERIOUSLY! GONE GONE GONE.
    K-netizens that posted mean comments about him are happy.
    Netizens that posted comments like “bla bla bla bla. he deserves it. It’s like bla. and blah so he bla and blah.”
    ARE VERY HAPPY.

  68. ive been out all day met a friend and they were the one who told me jae left… i though my friend was joking.

    now im like…wtf???

    jae can’t leave 2pm wont be 2pm without jae!!!! he needs to come back.

    he gives up too fast he needs to fight this like some people said snds has been bashed for so long i mean they have tonnes of anti (prob the most out of all the idol groups) but they still stand strong….

    so jay come back and fight…people will forget eventually i believe or i hope if not you just have to make up for it somehow.

    but i guess its hard to judge his decision. if thats what he really wants…as in giev up on his dream then i guess we just have to accept it. sigh~~~~

  69. nooo. i wanna go to korea then kill the crazy netizen !!!!

  70. IM HEARTBROKEN…. 2PM NO LONGER EXIST IN MY EYES WITHOUT JAEBEOM ='{

  71. WTF. Why would he quit on his own???? WHYYYY?! Can’t he just ignore the netizens? You know, like he can just be….screw them, I ain’t listening to any of their bullshit.

    And besides, I bet he knows that he has tons of other fans out there. Just log on to the internet and he will see that he has like thousands of people backing him up. So, he can definitely afford to screw those netizens over.

    WHYYY WOULD HE SUCCUMB TO THOSE NETIZENS??? GAH!

  72. WTF? I can’t believe I’m tearing up WTF?! seriously.
    I’m not even a fan of 2pm. sh*t.
    He’s leaving? WTF? O_O you don’t know how I’m so
    mad now. grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

  73. GOSH!!!OMG!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    JAY!!PLS COME BACK!!

    stupid netizens!!!i guess you are happy now huh!!idiots!!

    • yeah…they are happy right now..because they dont have a kind heart..
      jay come backk!!!! don’t stay too long in US…we need u back

  74. Somebody needs to send him an encouragement…

  75. I’m just so sad that he really is gone…
    I hope Wooyoung and the other members surpass this obstacle and rise up as 2PM again even without a leader…
    Jaebom will always be in my heart!
    He’ll forever be the leader of 2PM! 🙂

  76. I cant believe this.. !!!!!
    jay was my favourite member.. how could this happen
    netizens need to fuck off srsly!!!! im so sad right now, i already had a bad day but this made my day even worse :(!!

  77. NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

    Dont leace!!!! *cries*

    DONT LEAVE!!!!

    Fuck netizen

  78. FUCK FUCK FUCK.

  79. shit . im crying right now .
    this cant be happening !
    i wish its just the nightmare T.T
    jay CANT leave 2pm!!!

  80. THE REASONS FOR HIM LEAVING THE GROUP WAS STUPID!

  81. thats so sad,,, the situation is sooo screwed up,, im getting all teary & im not even a huge fan of 2pm,,
    poor wooyoung,, the groups relationship must be really good

  82. DAMNIT! and its not only jae too! its the WHOLE 2PM….. T^T

  83. jay it heart when u decide want to lev 2pm but i respect what u do,hope u doin jus fine out there,stay save..jay,we will miss u alot..

  84. omg… i’m not a fan but i feel sorry for him, 2PM and the fans. He shouldn’t just leave. Hopefully after a while he will come back to join 2PM again. I feel for the fans though…so sad… T___T

  85. NO NO NO N ON ON ON ONOOOO NOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    2PM WILLÖ NEVER BE THE SAME ! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  86. *cry*cry*cry… after seeing this article I really burst out and cried!! and wooyoung fainting, the other members’ cries!!! that’s too much. . . . .

  87. WTF why, jay why!!
    You shouldn’t give up. Why now?

    Another great leader and rapper gone.

    Fuck those netizens srsly.

  88. Í’m feeling really lost. Things have turned out this way all thanks to those people who do not know how to forgive and empathise. Put yourself in his position years back, wouldn’t you feel the same? Yes, he might have said those things, but he’s only human and he has admitted and apologised sincerely. Those netizens have left HOTTESTS stranded with broken hearts. What they have brought about was just tears and hurt to the thousands who are for Jae Bum and 2pm. They should be reflecting on themselves before criticising and breaking dreams. I’ll always support Jae Bum no matter what.
    We love you ‘leadja”!

  89. i think Jae just nd some time to clear his head…
    Personally I dunno how d netizens reaction in Korea is like n I’m assuming it must b really bad bcoz he decided to leave…but I also think Jae wants some time alone with his family for support n encouragement…
    I’m sure he loves his fans n his group members n also his mates in Korea…
    I just hope this matter resolves quickly n I hope that Jay’ll return to 2pm…
    I’m not a Hottest but I do think 2PM will b much better wif Jae as leader…
    N I think JYP himself will encourage Jae a lot since he’s in US at d mo…
    My love goes for all the Hottest~ u guys r awesome wif ur encouragement, support n love for him~

  90. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
    come back!!~~
    TT.TT

  91. IT’S UNFAIR TO HIM!! it will be so empty to see a 2PM without jaebum. why do korean netizens make such a big fuss out of things?? ppl make mistakes even when they are adults, plus he was younger den and he might not know of the consequences of the things he said. why are they so harsh on him? he already apologize already. it’s really heartbreaking.

  92. nice i live in seattle~ i will stalk him for everyone no worries =)

  93. Please please please please please let there be a silver lining. 2PM only debuted for one year T_T and they’re already losing a member! And JAY PARK at that. I hope this was not Jay’s decision. Now all the damn antis are happy! I wish he didn’t succumb to the pressure so easily! All those years of hard work and training, wasted. All of those years of training for his dreams, wasted. All of his dreams, wasted. They invaded his privacy! They have no rights to snoop around reading his private conversation!! Antis have no life! 2PM will never be the same again. No one can replace Jay! JYP should’ve have stepped up and said something about it. Wonder Girls? Other artists that enjoy 2PM’s music? This is all happening too fast. I wish he thought more about his decision. He let one little controversy take over his whole career. If SNSD, 9 girls, can get through the antis together than 2PM, 7 guys, can get through the antis together. Like SNSD. So One. Nothing, without 9. 2PM nothing without 7!!!

    • I agree, if SNSD can get through with all the incidents they had which was much more than 2PMs’.. then Jaebeom and his fellow members will be able to get through everything…
      If he leaves, he’s giving heartbreak to all his members and to the fans.. I just can’t believe the pressure got to him so quickly.. and he did not pull off another Steven Yoo incident.. –‘ Neizitens should know.. it’s completely two different situations.

    • i agree… SNSD had been through much more than jaebum has. i still support jae and 2pm. but his action on leaving his member like that is disappointing. this is one time you got bashed different from SNSD who have been bashed since their debuted.
      SNSD and 2PM can do much better than this.

  94. oh god what is this……………….
    if this is the only way to stop everything…. itd be the worst solution ever
    people really hate him so much why cant they just leave him alone and walk away…………. damn

  95. WHY ? WHY ? FUCKING WHY JAEBEOM?? U can’t do this.
    fucking don’t run away.
    2PM is nothing without you. c’mon u’re the fucking leader man.
    Please, dn’t do this to us HOTTEST.
    come Back.

  96. its sad to see jae beom to go
    but im sure we will see him comeback in the future
    whether its 3 months, 6 months, 1 years
    its probably been a hard decision to leave not only the 2pm, but the whole JYP family
    he wrote that when he wasn’t in the right mind back then, he apologised now, and becos those haters cant take an apology
    he is now leaving
    have some rest and come back with something new
    i’m surprised JYP allowed him to leave while his contract not finish yet,

    he is not the 2nd Yoo Seung Joon’ incident.
    that guy left becos of compulsory army etc etc
    jae boem left becos of what we think were bad comments from netizen
    2 different things

    anyways gl with his future

  97. this is ridiculous!!

  98. WHAT THE FUCK. WHEN MY FRIEND TOLD ME THE NEWS I WAS LIKE ‘IM NOT BELIEVING YOU~’ AND LIKE, THE NETIZENS ARE BING TOO HARD ON HIM. I MEAN, I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THE HOTTEST, IT’S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT WITHOUT JAEBUM.

  99. its gonna be hard for 2pm to recover from this fall… poor blokes…hope they are fine

  100. OH MY EFFING GOD!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  101. its so shocking news!!
    omg!!
    i didnt thought of him will really go……
    so sad T.T *tears coming out*
    what a waste..he is a good leader!(dun u think so?)
    gonna miss him..miss again&again dance 7ppl(2pm)
    now left 6ppl in 2pm..still can’t accept it..really gonna miss all of them in 7….
    take care oppa…and 2pm…

    we can’t change the faith…

  102. OMO.. is this really true??
    i’m crying now..
    wooyoung fainted?? see, not just jaebum whose hurt.. the others too..
    please make him back TT_______TT..

  103. this is not happening.. this is not happening.. this is not happening.. still in complete shock and denial..

  104. Apparently , they said that Wooyoung fainting is just a rumour by Antis.

  105. he really left …… 😦

  106. i bet the antis are happy now…
    that is what they want and…. TADA~ he gives u what u want..
    dun feel guilty antis, cuz u got no heart…
    eventhough 2pm is not my fav. idol, i will always wish them all the best whenever they are…
    my msg: be strong Hottest and 2PM members…

  107. Jay….T.T I wish u could hang on a little longer.
    Poor WOodong….T.T he is stressed out.
    The boys must have felt very sad for losing their leader n the friendship they have built.

  108. jay…
    im not a hottest and i like him because of what he is.
    hottest are not just in korean they’re everywhere!!!
    can’t you handle a single pressure? there probably many other artist who’ve been getting bashed and threatened?
    that’s low man…shame on you. you’re not strong enough as a leader. im sorry.
    goodbye jay.. i’m expected more from you.

    • That’s kind of harsh. Don’t know whose decision it was, but if he remained they probably felt that 2PM would be targeted and bashed by netizens worldwide (like SNSD). Though drastic, it’s the best course to shut those netizens who bashed him.

      • at least SNSD are strong enough to went through all those filthy comment about them. they’re girls and he is a guy. fans can only support but the decision is on himself.
        i’m not mad at him and im sorry for being harsh. look at snsd tiffany, she’d been bashed since she’s debuted and she still here standing still.
        i feel bad for 2pm, i know hottest out there is here for him.
        i hope he’s only want to break himself for awhile and comeback fresh as a good leader and idol.

      • seriously… although i don’t like SNSD but i do respect them for being strong after all the incidents like silence protest… i’m really really sad now cause i don’t understand what are the koreans thinking and i won’t understand…

        and i’m upset as well cause jay leave!! can’t u think of hottest.. 2pm members and stay for us?? u must believe that hottests are more than antis.. we love you and we want 2PM as a group with a leader.. pls come back!!

        JYP!! where are u???

      • @ Junky and Christy: I think while SNSD was hated it wasn’t to the point that people wished them to die. I think the emotional strain was too much for him. On one side he doesn’t want 2pm to suffer but also how can a person want to stay in a country where 3000 netizens willingly signed a petition for him to commit suicide. While some of SNSD was rude they didn’t offend an entire country so the backlash wasn’t as severe as this and eventually blew over but after seeing south korea’s hate for Yoon seung Joon (not sure on the spelling) even today, I am not sure if the netizens will ever give him a break.. Jay is probably extremely depressed and maybe moving to the US is the best thing for him right now.

    • naa…what snsd and jae have been thru its incomparable…total diff..its like comparing apple to durian or something. u just demoralized/disheartened him just by saying that..he never asked anyone to have high hopes & expectations on him…hmm…ure weird man

  109. K NETIZENS ARE NOT VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT JAEBEOM HAD SAID BEFORE~!! HE WAS RIGHT AFTER ALLLL~!!! PLEASE PROVE HIM WRONG SOMEHOW!!!! DONT LET HM LEAVE!!!!

  110. WTF! That’s just…… too much even for words

  111. omg >< i am not even a fan ! but this is just too cruel to Jae.

  112. korean netizens are heartless, cold… just like what Jay said. look what they’ve done to him!! ruining his dreams?? oh man, come on! i hope THIS IS A CONSPIRACY!!

    Jay, you are the only 2PM leader. :”'(

  113. fcuk them korean netizens! They’re way overboard! This is why a lot ok korean stars are committing suicide. they put too much pressure on them!

    I feel so bad. It just happened to quickly. We were all caught off guard. Poor jae.

    I just hope he finds happiness in the US. Away from evil korean haters. I hope you find a career on Hollywood. You’ll be better off there.

    God, I hate this!

  114. He’s gone…!@#$%%^&
    Helpless…..

  115. honestly, I’m not an Hottest but I wanna ask the other Hottests, “where are you when Jaebum think that he should leave 2PM”.. I think you should give him spirit..

  116. D:
    Please tell me this isn’t real.
    Jaebum can’t leave! God I thought it was going to blow over after he sincerely apologised.. but no, it went so far as to making him leave?? Nice going haters.
    >=(
    Not happy.

  117. NO,JAEBUM,DON’T LEAVE!!!
    Those comments are already the past..they were left by jaebum when he was still an ordinary guy just like any other high school boys in his country..This so effin stupid..He deserves another chance…He shouldn’t have left.I don’t really know 2pm but Jaebum is a great leader and he’s super hilarious..i really do like him and what’s done has been done..why are those netizens doing this to him??
    its not like he has said anything offensive in public after his debut..im sure he became a good kid after debutin…This is so unfair for him but still,i wish him good luck and i hope that he’ll change his mind and return to 2pm..FIGHTIN

  118. that’s not fair!
    JAEBEOM PARK!!!!!!!!!!!
    Dont yu care about the fans who wants to keep the 2PM including you altogether!!!???
    PLEASE hold on tight and i hope that this is just a vacation for yu, and really not leaving the group..

  119. OMG!!!
    dis is getting worse n worse n correct me if i’m wrong…
    but i think d netizens r blowing dis matter out of proportion!!!
    Wooyoung fainted watching Jay leaves~
    2PM loves him n Hottest loves him n I think dis is just too sad~

  120. Oh my god this is crazy.

    Devastated, really.

  121. my tears was flowing when i read that wooyoung fainted. I cant believe this happened. It all happened too fast! they was celebrating their 1st year anniversary and poofff! this news broke out. Poor Jay.

    I’ll miss him tons! His dance, his voice, his dorkiness.
    Ps: I’m not a avid fan of 2PM.

    Good luck jay! I hope to see you in the future! Hwaiting!!

  122. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
    Jaebum please don’t leave 2PM!!! pleaseeee…..

  123. wow….this issue has really blown out of proportion hasn’t it? :l i’m a little disappointed that Jay has chosen to leave 2PM, it’s as good as satisfying what the netizens have always wanted out of him. I’d thought he would stay on and try to regain the trust from the Koreans. But i can see where he’s coming from, him being the leader ought to take full responsibility of his actions and not let the group suffer together with him.

    i’m feeling a little down about him choosing to leave. hey, i’m not even an avid fan. It’s just sad to see someone had to give up his dreams so easily because of mere unhappiness by a bunch of mindless, cold netizens who are slowly losing their humanity.

    and regarding fans trying to stop him, not trying to be pessimistic, but even if he comes back, the feeling is much more different than if he had chosen to stay on. I mean, he already publicly announced that he’s going to leave, so it’ll be harder for him to come back and he’ll definitely be bogged down with more negative criticisms from the public.

    all the best to him.

  124. nooooooooooooo
    Korea Netizens….u guys r really crazy, scary and heartless :(( R u happy now???
    No , Jay , Please somebody.. stop him :((

  125. HOTTEST pls stop JAY…….. Jay.. dont be like this.. you gave up too fast!!!!

    wtf hater anti..!!@#$%^&

  126. this is just too much.
    it was a mistake he has apologized for.
    i hope the group will continue what they started.
    if anything, let this be a lesson to the young and careless to watch what they post… it may back fire later on.
    let’s just hope for the best for everbody.

  127. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!!!
    I live in Seattle.. if fans cant stop him from leaving, I will definately be going at the airport and telling him to go back.

    THIS IS NOT FAIR TO HIM!!!!
    But can this be done? Can the fans really change his mind? If he officially leaves the group, then he can still come back right? PLEASE TELL ME SOOOOOO~!!!!!

    • ur a dumbass who doesnt know anything about korean culture you may know kpop but u dont know jack shit about korea itself
      go read his myspace comments u twinkie fuck

      • STfu bitch..u dont even care about him okay? He has probably changed and u need to too…being the jackass u are

  128. jay’s not a korean citizen so why should he be enlisted for korean army? he’s a US citizen isnt he

  129. Kpop is full of drama no wonder why many celebs commite sucide … its kind of sad to see him leave the group yes I what he did was wrong and i will not make any excuse for him but i dont think leaving the group is the answer for the probelm i think he should stay in korea and prove to everyone that he changed and I really hope he will change his mind and rejoin the group

  130. that must have suck for 2pm now.
    They will now have 6 people now.

    Plus he would be leaving the wild bunny show and everything in korea.

    I wonder what the company and 2pm is thinking about that Jay is leaving the group?

  131. damn…i read that after this..they found him talking about how much he loves korea on his myspace…AFTER those comments….this is so sad…and so f*cked. since i live two hours away from seattle….im gonna go and throw him back on the airplane…*sniff*

  132. SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTT
    whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. no T.T

  133. i’m so sad now.. please stop him..
    he deserved second chance!!!!

  134. WOW this taking this way outa hand!!
    DONT LEAVE!!!
    2PM MUST STOP HIM SOMEHOW!!

  135. follow Jay update news in here

  136. noo ! Please stop him ! oh noo.. jaebum don’t leave. How i wish i at Korea now .

  137. Man, jay was right, Korea is wack..esp those netizen..
    If jay really leaves K-pop, I deff leaving K-pop too..
    And not bcoz I’m Jay or 2PM fans, bcoz its clear and obvious that Korea is a hipocrite country..
    Everybody act like they have no sins..
    A smart country yet a very dumb country at the same time..

  138. he’s already leaving..

  139. dang! I will go to seattle if he leaves and talk to him personally T.T if only I could

  140. this post is too intenseeeee.
    im not a fangirl but i am still sad to see jaebum, leader of a group thats been gaining massive popularity lately, leave. truly saddened.

    btw youre really quick with the news Eileen

  141. OMG WHAT. I THOUGHT JYP SAID HE WAS NOT LEAVING!!! i can’t believe netizens have so much power now

  142. The fact was that haters released only information about him hating Korea. Now there’s news of him loving Korea coming out, wanting to stay longer in Korea etc coming out, probably because they felt guilty.

    Haters just need to get a life. It’s obvious people planned this upon him or rather 2PM. So stop all your fucking hate words like ‘He deserves it’ or ‘I don’t feel sorry for him.’ etc

    It’s just so UNFAIR to him.

  143. If only I can be there to stop him too 😥

  144. shit noo 😦

    • I can’t belive it.. NO NO NO, i bet the fucking neitzens are happy now. Bitch, please. Its enough, stop torturing him.

    • Dude, like if i was in his shoes i’d probably go nuts in korea seems like expectations are soooo set up so high one mistake and you’ll be sorry…i understand why he said that it was gay because it is, especially when i first seen their styles and everything including the hair!!! Those netizens should’ve first put themselves in his shoes and picture it before judging him from comments on myspace!!!Seriously how can they stoop so low!!Hopefully i’m not the only one pissed off. You can easily tell that he’s changed from when he was a trainee. I mean sure what he said about hating korea and all was stupid but still doesn’t ppl get tired of their traditions/culture/backgrounds/etc. once in awhile ’cause i definitely do!!!And how come that netizen who leaked the comments didn’t get any fair share of the “punishment”….well i guess now a lot of Jae bum’s fans are probably holding a grudge against him[netizen] now though. I’d like to see Jae bum continuing what he does best which is rapping/bboying/singing but what all of us Jae bum fans are wishing & hoping for is that Jae will reunite with 2pm and continue being the best!

      • i agree with you ….. he realy should come back now 2pm is just a half heart.

      • I don’t really care about that netizen but i miss jaebum too. Doesn’t mean you can say we, koreans, are gay, Pakou.
