JYP: Jaebum Will Not Return
Ahead of the conference with fans to be held this weekend, JYP releases a shocking announcement on member Park JaeBum on its official website on today that Jaebum will not be returning.
Hello, this is JYP Entertainment.
Last September, 2PM’s member Park Jaebum announced his withdraw from the group and returned to Seattle after the shock of his words he wrote on the internet during his trainee time and we will reveal the course of action henceforth.
Though those words from the case that occurred last September did not looked good to everyone, because they were his words during his hard trainee days and written on his personal space the company agreed with Park Jaebum goon’s opinion to take time for self discipline, this does not mean we thought that he would stop all activities in entertainment or forever leave 2pm.
At the time the company could have convinced Park Jaebum goon to stay and promote with as a 7 member 2pm and held back his withdrawal. Though it could be considered that parts of Park Jaebum goon’s words were exaggeratedly mistranslated bye netizens it was definite that those words could have hurt many people, in that situation if we were to enthusiastically embrace Park Jaebum goon and promote with the 7 member 2pm this could have made the image of Park Jaebum goon to the public forever negative and so we agreed with his decision.
When a celebrity makes a mistake that disappoints the public and they do not apologize for their own mistakes or if the company embraces that celebrity, there have been many cases before when this further changed the views of the public in the negative direction and therefore we thought it would be good to show his willing withdrawal from the group to have time for self discipline.
Thankfully enough after Park Jaebum goon’s withdrawal many of the public opinions changed and showed their thoughts to give him another chance.
