2PM Perf @ 24th Golden Disk Awards

2PM's performance was such a riot! people thought all them were at the stage and everyone around them were just dancers and after taking off their mask people were ecstatic! Cunning and awesome!

Even Lee Seunggi from behind were enjoying the gimmick.

I kindda missed Jaebom when they did the "Again and again". Too bad he created his own monster and he wasn't able to get away from it. Move on Jae and come back soon.

Jaebum finally breaks his silence

Jaebum finally breaks his silence

2PM leader Park Jaebum, moved back to his hometown Seattle after leaving the group (temporarily) to deal with 'Myspace bad comment issues' he did more than a couple of years ago.

The producers of KBS variety show 'Sunday Night' said that, "meeting Jaebum for the first time after leaving to Seattle denied our request for the interview. Instead he sent a video message he made himself, saying "I am rethinking my actions and behavior... I am working out a way to learn from them and have nothing else to say. I think time must pass before I can say anything.".

At least we know that there's a remorse. Let's give him another chance, he was young back then and alone.

The show will air on the 25th.

Jae's Hot Issue

Jae's Hot Issue

If you are one of the "Hottest" (2PM Fans Club), will you be willing to spend a dime to send your fave boy group leader a message from a plane?

Well, that's what the Hottest did. 2PM's fans sent a message through a plane saying, "Jae, What time is it?" at exactly 2PM in Seattle. Roaming around Seattle's air for 2 hours. Whew!

Now he's not just Korea's talk of the town but in his own town in Seattle as well.

There's some rumor that JYP headed to Seattle last September 30 to have a man to man talk with Jae and a dinner meeting with his family before he fly back to NY.

Watch the video from Komo. Seattle's local news program.

10 million Won for Jae's Return

Hottest's all over the place started organizing their support for Jaebum return. They are gathering donations for charities to bring the sexy leader back.

September 25th, 2009, one of 2PM's fan clubs, UnderGround, donated 10 million won.(?) Well, yes they did! That is more than 8500 US dollars! Sorry about that, I can't contain myself. Bow down to Korean fans!

They gave it to Naver Charity Campaign, "Happy Bean" and they also went down to visit their beneficiaries. The chikdren of the said foundation were very happy.

The group stated: "JaeBum’s incident has very close relation with the societal problem of the local and overseas Korean society. So following this fund raising campaign, we hope to let our overseas beneficiaries know of our Korean culture."

Thumbs up to you guys! That was fantabulous thing to do to support your idol. Great, great idea. I hope JaeBum and JYP will realize how they are being loved by their fans, the good things they did to show their support and acceptance of Jae's apology. Come back Jae! Come back to your second home.

Hello, I’m 2PM’s JaeBum.

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.

JaeBum

This is terribly bad news for 2PM and all 2PM fans. YG confirmed this news already. Jae must be really having a hard time being alone in Korea. Put yourself in his shoes, it's really hard when your real family is not around and adjust in the environment and culture that you are not brought up with. But who knows, cross your fingers because this might be just temporary.

Jaebom released his public apologies and as follows translated from Nate.

"Hello everyone, this is 2PM's Park Jae Bum.

I wanted to apologize about what I posted on Myspace a few years back. I'm sorry. I want to tell you how I felt back then.

I came to Korea in 2005, when I was in high school. I was born and raised in US, so I did not have a lots of knowledge about Korean life. I could not communicate well, the food did not fit me and I did not understand Korean culture.

All my family was in the US, and it felt like everyone was turned against me. I did not know when I was able to debut, and I felt very lonely. There were various problems at the time, so I even thought about just giving up the whole thing and go back to my family in the US.

The reason I said those things about Korea was that I hated the position I was in, and the problems I was facing at that time. As I was so young and immature, I did not know how to express my feelings other than that. I made a mistake.

After that, I just forgot everything about it. I am so embarrased and sorry about what I wrote then. Since that time, I am now completely adapted to Korean life, and my opinion has changed. I am thankful for everything and that I am able to do what I do. I wrote those words four years ago, but I am completely changed now.

To my family, HOTTEST, 2PM members, 2PM fans, and everyone else, I'm very sorry."

There you go guys, forgive and forget? Or what he said was really true?
