With the announcement of a conference to be held between JYP Entertainment representatives, the remaining six men of 2PM, and select members of 2PM’s main community sites, tension has risen between fans and JYPE. The reason behind the meeting is to have an open, candid discussion between people who are very involved and concerned with all things relating to 2PM. On the 22nd of February, a JYPE associate spoke with news company Osen over the phone, This time, fan representatives, 2PM members, and representatives of the company will be participating [in the meeting]. The latest conference was regarding the Wonder Girls, and it was held in private. However, we expect the scale of this conference to be larger in comparison. With the news regarding the Wonder Girls‘ SunMi and HaeLim clarified, JYPE is now trying to clear the air regarding Jaebum, but many fans are not pleased with the principle of the conference. Instead of viewing it as an opportunity to learn the truth, some fans believe the whole purpose of the convention is to create more attention for 2PM. Whether or not the thoughts of these fans are correct, a JYPE representative stated, “This conference will be a place where we will be able to have a heart-to-heart talk about the truth and authenticity of the various rumors that have circled Jaebum’s withdrawal.” The topic of Jaebum has been controversial for quite some time, and many people still debate the accuracy of the released information regarding how and why 2PM’s leader left. There are fans who want to boycott the group to send a message to JYPE, and there are fans who decide it’s best to continue their support for the remaining six members. Hopefully this conference will clear up some matters to placate everyone involved, including all 2PM members, their fans, and the workers at JYP Entertainment.
