IT'S CONSPIRACY!

Thursday, February 25, 2010 @ 10:11 PM

What Jay had written on his personal website did not seem to be right for people. Nevertheless, we did not think this is a serious issue as he should leave the entertainment industry or 2PM for good. That’s because the post had been written in a personal place while he had got through difficult time as a trainee. However, we understood that Jay wanted to have time for confession.

We could have persuaded Jay to stay in 2PM as 7 members, not leaving 2PM. However, it was obvious that his posts would have been hurt people, even though there are some mistranslated parts, exaggerated by netizens. At the moment, making an excuse for Jay and remaining as 7 members could harm Jay’s personal image for the public. For that reson, we agreed with his decision.

There were previous cases that the entertainer himself or his agency didn’t admit the fault and the agency tried to justify him. The opinion of the public got worse because of thier attitude. We saw those kinds of cases several times, so we thought it would be better for Jay to leave 2PM voluntarily and have time for confession.

Fortunately, the public opinion got better after Jay’s leaving on 2PM. Many people thought we should give him another chance. We did not offically announce the fact that we had a plan to have Jay back, because we’re afraid that it can have a bad influnece for the public opinion which started to sympathize with Jay. Nevertheless, right after Jay went back to Seattle, we began to find great teachers who could teach Jay singing, dancing and acrobatics. In fact, JinYoung Park, who is the producer of JYP, visited Seattle to meet those teachers and give a pre-lesson, 29th of September last year. We completed a perfect education programme.

The contracts of every adversitement, event and stage were not limited to 6 members which acts now on. There was always a contract clause that it would change to 7 members after Jay’s coming back. We were preparing for Jay’s come back to Korea.

In November last year, we suggested Jay to make a comeback in the album which would be released on April, this year. As Jay agreed with this suggestion, we completed a plan for Jay’s comeback. We were supposed to hold a press conference in the 3rd week of Feburaury, right after Seol holiday, and 2PM would start again with 7 members on March.

The public opinion became favorble after Jay’s leaving. It is expected that Jay’s comeback would make a lot of energy. Most importantly, we knew that fans would support us again. For those reasons, our company and all 7 members were excited. However, we’re worried about the public opinion which would change negatively once again, if we announce the news of Jay’s comeback. We did not declare this plan despite a lot of criticism of fans.

However, on 22th of December last year, Jay urgently called Jung-Wook who is the representitive of JYP entertainment. He confessed that he had committed a huge fault privately. The fault, which he had committed while they released Again & Again in the last summer, became a problem. We cannot reveal what exactly the fault is since it’s about his privacy. However, it was much worse than the problem of last September. It can bring a more serious problem socially as well.

We wanted to discuss about this topic with 2PM members directly, but, since they were really happy witht the news of Jay’s comeback plan and had great results in awards, we couldn’t let them know at the moment. Therefore, we told them 3th of January, when thier offical activity was finished. 6 members, who were quite shocked, agonized this issue. 6th of January, 3 days after, all the members expressed their opinion that it would be hard to be with Jay anymore.

Our company decided to cancle the contract with Jay, under the decision that he is not appropriate for our company. We wanted to let you know our decision right away. We’re sorry to be late to announce it, owing to Jay’s personal reason.

The things that are mentioned so far are all real, not including any false. We should be sincere because this topic influences 2PM, which are valuable singers, the hearts of people who loves them, a lot of presses and the public. The reason for clarifying what happend between Jay and our company is that it will bring more controversy and suspicion among fans and the press if we make another reason for covering it.

We’re truly sorry to announce this news for fans and lots of people who have been waiting for Jay’s comeback. Our company will make more and more efforts with 6 members in order to come with better 2PM.

Thank you.
