Latest about JaeBeom (2PM Leader)

Antis Create a Suicide Petition for 2PM’s Jaebeom

Antis can be a bit vicious, but this is way over the top.

It has recently been revealed that 2PM's leader Jaebeom will no longer be on Nodaji and will stop all activities until his Myspace controversy clears. But apparently, that wasn't enough for angry netizens. Some antis wanted him to quit show biz altogether, some wanted him out of 2PM, and then there are those antis just wanted him to disappear......And thus, a petition titled "Jaebeom Should Commit Suicide" was created on Agora net of Daum, "Go back to America" ,"I'm disgusted by you" and "Jaebeom will be the next Yoo Seung-joon" before it was taken down on September 7.

But things seem to be looking up, because another petition entitled "Please Forgive Our Jaebeom Just This Once" on Agora replaced the other hate-filled one and has gained over 6,000 signatures in two days. He even released a heartfelt apology to the public about this controversy. This kind of hatred is too bitter and no one deserves it. If you wish to support him, there's an online petition going around 2OneDay Forums

On the official fancafe, leader Jaebeom announced that he will be officially quitting 2PM. JYPE has just confirmed this is true. This decision was made after his recent Myspace controversy was blown out of proportion. Jaebeom will be leaving Korea today at 6:30pm KST.

Jaebeom posted:

"Hello, I'm 2PM's Jaebeom. I'm sorry for giving you my last greeting through this letter. I think it will be hard for me to see you all on stage because of my sorry heart. I'm really sorry to everyone, and I'm even more sorry to the fans who have shown me love. From today, I will leave 2PM. 2PM boys, I'm really sorry to the boys and I'm sorry I couldn't be strong as a leader and a hyung and have to leave like this. However, I hope you will be more cool and charming.

Again, I'm sorry.

Jaebeom"

Jaebeom Leaves Korea

 

Former 2PM leader, Jaebeom, has left Korea. The fallen star left Korea on September 8th, 2009 on an afternoon flight at Incheon Airport with over 500 fans literally screaming, crying, and begging for him not to go.

Since the scandal broke out, much controversy has stirred up in the Korean and online community with hate and support forums popping up everywhere. Rumors had been spiraling that Jay was leaving 2PM but JYP announced that he would be staying with the group, leaving fans relieved, only to have the moment shortened by a guilt ridden Jay who announced he would be leaving the group to take responsibility as a leader and to no longer put the group through more trouble.

Korea reports blame mainly the online community, saying they took a small mistake and blew it out of proportion, pushing Jay over the limit and caused him to resign with their hate forums and blogs, although many have expressed their positive opinions about him. One netizen even said, "I am not a fan of 2PM but I am a fan of music. I admit what Jaebeom said was wrong but it is undeniable that the guy is super talented and thus he should be forgiven."

With Jaebeom leaving Korea and stepping down as leader, new rumors are spiraling that Junho will be taking over as leader of 2PM. How this will affect the group and its schedule is unclear but one thing is for sure; it will never be the same again.

Jaebeom reportedly arrives at 12:40PM PST in Seattle.

Many fans both in Korea and worldwide are in hysterics, and rumors have been flying off the roof. Though it's heartbreaking for many to see this talented leader leave, the dust has yet to settle and we are still waiting on further official reports from JYPE. Thus, no assumptions on 2PM and Jay should be made yet as no formal plans have been announced.
