Support Park Jay
Okay. So this is going to be seriously long. Since I'll start from day one.
090409 2pm's 1st anniversary! Hooray! I was celebrating this day since they are already 1 year. 1 year of friendship. 1 year of dorky bunnies. 1 year of making a name in the kpop industry.
090509 Kornetizens started to state how Jay was a disgrace to korea because of his myspace comments. That he should just go out of the country and quit 2pm. It was frustrating at the point of complete annoyance. Because how dare! It was just 2pm's anniv, then this? I was stopping myself from killing those Kornetizens for making Jay suffer and sad, but I didnt lose hope. I know he wont listen to them, so I just decided to just let this issue flow.
090609 Jay is getting more and more tired and stressed because of Kornetizens. They started a "Jay:Go Back to America" Petition. Then I found out that WB ep 8 was suspended because of this. I was seriously hurt.
090709 2PM'S ACTIVITIES, SUSPENDED. My first reaction was WTF?! @_@ suspended?! BECAUSE OF KORNETIZENS? Pathetic. Lame. But I trust JYP to have a plan about this. Jay was too close to quitting but we knew he wouldnt. Kornetizens just kept bashing and bashing him. They didnt stop. I feel so sad for Jay. Considering that the myspace comment was 5 yrs ago? :( I was just too sad. I cried. I cant believe 2pm activities are suspended because of this. What about their album? Their comeback album? From the start, I knew WB was going to be 13 episodes (?) or something, then 8th become the last episode, then JYPE &MNET decided not to air it BECAUSE [i quote] IN THAT EP, JAY WAS HAPPY AND SMILING WITH ALL THE OTHER MEMBERS AND IT WOULD BE RUDE TO AIR IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS. ALSO, IT WOULD...." I dont even want to continue. But it was about the reputation of the show and whatnot. Completely Ridiculous. TTT.TTT
Night of 090709 I thanked JYP for defending Jay. It was so nice of him to defend Jay. I slept happy that night.
Okay. Here it goes. :( SEPTEMBER 08, 2009, TUESDAY
I recieved txts of how Jaebum wanted to quit but I ignored them. I KNEW JAEBUM WON'T LEAVE 2pm alone. HE CANNOT. I knew Jay will continue to fight.
Wooyoung was crying outside the JYPe building. I had a bad feeling about this...
"Hello! I'm 2pm's Jaebum.
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla..
from now on, I will leave 2pm."
I SCREAMEED.
I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. I JUST BURST OUT INTO TEARS. I REALLY DIDNT EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN.
Fast forward, I cried all throughout the day.
"Jaebum is reportedly going back to seattle 6:30 KST."
OHSHIT! I BURST INTO TEARS ONCE AGAIN. I CANT BELIEVE HE WAS GOING BACK TO AMERICA, I WAS PANICKING, SERIOUSLY I WAS. I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD JUST GO TO KOREA RIGHT THEN AND THERE AND PREVENT HIM FROM GOING.
IT WAS LIKE THE WHOLE WORLD CRASHED DOWN ON ME. I COULDNT EVEN BREATHE.
Fast Forward, he arrived at the airport.
"I will stay healthy in America, I will be back as a better person."
HE WILL BE BACK. SO, YES, I GOT MY HOPES UP.
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, WOOYOUNG FAINTED.
@$#^&$%&$%%^#
I DONT KNOW WHAT I SHOULD CALL THIS DAY,
BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW, SEPT 8, 2009 is THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE.
2pm isnt complete without jaebum.
IT ISNT. IT WOULD NEVER BE.
I'm counting the days when he would be back in 2pm.
I LOVE YOU JAY PARK. I ALWAYS WILL.
STAY HEALTHY IN AMERICA. JUST FORGET ABOUT ALL THE STRESS.

Letter from Jaebum's Friend in Korea
Hello this is Jaebum's friend who was in the same class with him and I would like to share how Jaebum lived at the time.
Jaebum moved to study at our class for his 3rd year in high school. There was nothing special. I just heard that he was a JYP trainee from USA. I regarded him as an ordinary student. At first, he could not adjust himself to Korean cultures and barely spoke Korean. Jaebum was not in acquaintance with friends and preferred to be alone. As time passed, he could finally get along with friends. We played basketball together. He seemed to be fond of physical education class the most. Since he had to part from his family and friends who he used to hang out and practiced dancing with in the States, he looked lonely at times. He was living by himself in a tough conditon as a trainee in Korea.
Jaebum had a lot of things to do. He usually practiced singing during his free time or writing rap lyrics. He loved to go to the gym the most. I remembered inviting him for lunch but he rejected and only ate food with protein nourishment. How pity he was then. We were in the same basketball team. The friends in our class used to sing birthday songs to him. When we graduated, Jaebum was trained full time at his company and one day he boasted to me that he was put into a group, 2PM and would be on national televisions. I knew that he worked so hard before he debuted with his first album.
Not only Jaebum, I heard that all JYP trainees and staff also worked so hard. Even though Jaebum had extreme tight schedules, during the second album promotion, he could come and join our alumni party. I was happy to see his confidence and shine coming from him which was different from the time he was still just a trainee where his future was in doubt. He told me that he liked Boom-hyung. Boom-hyung is a fun person who takes care of him so well. I knew that he was living a happy life at the time.
But, for the past few days, there were a controversial of Jaebum's offending comments from his myspace. All those efforts he put were shattered in the blink of an eye. I tried to call him because I was so concerned. He told me he was at the airport and about to leave for USA. I asked if he'll ever come back. He said how could he when so many people hate him this much...
As a friend of Jaebum, there is nothing I can do. I can only let him leave like that. His flight left at 6:30pm. I can only wish that he go back to have a better life with his family. Even in the US, I wish he still carry on and fulfill his dream. I would like to thank you all who loved my friend. Jaebum Fighting!
“Now I think I have become a real Korean”
“I'm proud to be Korean”
“The Republic of Korea”
“Korean people are like stars, they dress so well comparing to me I dress like a pauper. Oh no, yes I am a pauper.”
“I'm not familiar with English now, isn't it funny? Haha”
These messages were written by Jaebum in 2006.
Looking at those messages, you can see that his attitude has changed.
He said he was proud to be Korean and he truly love Korea.
Please believe him.
Please don't judge him only by the message he wrote when he was a struggling trainee (4 years ago)
Please...
