2PM Jaebeom apologizes!

2PM Jaebeom’s myspace comments from years ago were dug up by netizens, causing an outrage in Korea. But don’t be too harsh on the guy, it was an honest mistake and besides, we’ve all said very similar things. In any regards, Jaebeom has released an official apology, so forgive and forget!

Hello everyone this is 2PM’s Park Jaebum. I would like to apologize on behalf of the comments I had made through Myspace a few years ago. I’m sorry.

As I tell all of you about how I felt that time, I also would like to apologize. In January of 2005, I came to Korea as a high school student. I was born in the States and I had insufficient knowledge of how Korea is. Being it my first time, I couldn’t communicate with others, my taste buds didn’t fit, and I barely knew the culture which I couldn’t understand. I felt as though I was treated coldly by the people around me as my family was left in the States. It was such a difficult situation where I didn’t even know if I was going to debut. Due to many hardships, things were getting too hard and I was getting lonely being homesick. I had the thoughts of quitting and I wanted to go back to my family in the States. The comment based on the Korea part: I wrote that because of my personal situation I was placed in and my emotions took over. I was too young and said things in the wrong words. I was too foolish, young, and facing difficulties where I made the mistake into turning my surroundings worse. Time passed by and I forgot that I had even written them. I am now embarrassed and truly sorry of those comments I had made. After that time, I had adjusted to everything and my thoughts have changed tremendously as I thank the people around me to get me to perform on stage in any situation. Those comments were made four years ago, but I am a different person now. To my family, Hottests, members of 2PM, and those who love 2PM, I am truly sorry. From now on, I hope that there will be no mistakes like this ever again. I will say it one more time that I am truly sorry.

  1. Its so sad that he had to move out of the crew!! :( wow until i heard it n tell it to my cousin, she was crying a lot… omg i wich he’ll have another chance to come back… Do any of u guys no where he is right now? I miss him lots! Hes the best leader in their group but now, he is no longer a leader! (SIGH) so sad :(

  2. :(
    man why did he had to leave?
    bring back memories:/

    anyway love you jay love you 2pm!

  3. Aww, i will miss Jaebeom! (T ^ T)

    What’s his myspace, btw? Just wondering.

  4. Netizens are so silly….like jaebom said he was younger that time and doesn’t know the culture of korea because he grew up from different culture why can’t they just forgive and forget about it?? and they should end up like this…..JYP was also silly for not understanding the situation…..they have to understand that adopting from the culture that you don’t belong is too hard…..maybe his reactions were not good but he was younger then and besides they have to understand that people from western countries are extrovert people they will say what they want to say….it’s natural for them….kicking jaebom from 2pm just because of that reason was really a stupid decission

  5. What could be worse than this?

  6. i wish the netizens never even found it….then jaebum would still be in the group and everyone (ME) would be happy!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. like seriously.
    look at his apology.
    its so sincere.
    things arent the same anymore..

  8. wow thats a really nice apology

  9. come back D:

  10. Ppl need to get their heads out of their… butts… it was 4 yrs ago! and even then what does it matter? i say the US sucks all the time and i get ppl that agree with me you know? He made a mistake and has apologized for it, everyone needs to leave the poor guy alone. Honestly 2PM is the first korean group i fell in love with, they are the ones who opened the floodgates for me lol. Jaebeum i love you! and if there are some ppl who dont love you know that there are even more who do! (^_^)

  11. i liek the fact that jay admitted to his fault but he had a reason why he idd that action. like seirously i could understand. if you put yourself in his shoes, new to the country, language, everything, its hard to get used to to and adapt. ofcourse you’ll say i hate this and that everyone has said so in the past

  12. goddamn, BE UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE. stupid antis now he’s out of 2pm T_T

  13. even before he publicly apologized, everything was already forgotten. THIS IS JUST A PETTY THING.

  14. Jayy! of course we forgiv you.
    we love you .. don’t leave because of the anti’s .. you still hav your awesome fans!
    your group needs you. JYP does too!!
    we understand that that message was from wayy back .. and i dont know why netizens and antis are so pissed about it .. i mean fuckin hel .. it was WAYY back.
    please come back :( x

  15. I think that’s a reasonable explanation. Why can’t this just satisfy everyone? F_ck antis.

  16. Damn…..this is too harsh…
    If koreans had to go the states when they lived their whole life in korea, i bet they would even feel homesick and depressed! so why cant jaebum be? just cuz hes famous? just cuz hes a idol? shouldnt be, hes same human like us.
    seriously, reading this hurts me….

    jaebum didnt have to apologize, he was just being a normal guy.

  17. what world are we living in..when a heartfelt apology..is no longer taken seriously..?
    but comments such as..’he looks hot lets rape him’..are?..and as much as i myself..do not like that term..and the way it sounds..at least you can differentiate it..between being a joke..people seem to be good at..ignoring..written or verbal common sense worded in truth..at least he had the common decency..& courtesy to say the words….i am sorry..& that was his honest feelings..with good intentions…

  18. pls don’t go

    jayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  19. awww, forgive & forgetttt<3333
    I STILL LOVE YOU, 2PM!! :D

  21. Korean netizens you have got to give it to them for getting overly dramatic. Come on are you serious? It was four years ago and not only that he wasn’t too comfortable with korea at first. Can you honestly say Korea is super nice to cool foreign people ? Not really especially since they can get pretty jealous. I mean I’m korean and like it’s pretty wierd for me too at times especially since here all the people at least smile at you while passing by where as in korea even little girls glare at you. Plus you have to give him credit he was born in the States. Can one of those netizens come here and deal with like all the asian racism and say oh i perfectly love the US sooo much?? NO.

  22. awww, don’t worry hunnie, you’re already forgiven…people who doesn’t agree with me needs to shut their mouth and read the whole apology letter he wrote and realize how he’s very emotional and sad of the situation he was in…people needs to be considerate of other people’s feelings…if i was in the situation he was in 4 years ago i would’ve said those words too..knowing nobody in your hometown and didn’t know how to communicate, your taste buds weren’t fitting in, that’s horrible, it’s like you’re living in another planet..loneliness and tons of emotions will burst out of you…trust me cuz i have had a little bit of that situation…though not to the point i didn’t know how to communicate. please, forgive this guy…everyone deserves a second chance why can’t he have one too?

  23. hahah if they still hate him after this, lol they are just heartless

  24. Forgive and forget netizens!! fighting Jaebeom!! <3

  25. I forgive and continue to love you ♥

  26. :D I was right. xD

  27. WTC….. people treat this like his the only made sinful mistake…… if they think that he should commit suicide.. its like saying we all should also.. bc we at least ONCE in our life has said or done something Stupid…. Tell everyone to STOP actin like Idiots. and get over.. i dont understand why this is such a big deal…

  29. we understand you jay! at least the sane people understand you! don’t worry about the INSANE NITZENS~

  30. GODDAMN, just get over it people. i forgive you :(

  31. its impossible to hate the guy. xD

  32. i agree with a couple of previous members who posted that the way he wrote was probably worse than the things he said. yikes!

  33. nice apology.. but i don’t think its needed.. it was 4 years ago… i understand u said u hate korea, but so wat, ppl use the word “HATE” all the time. I know for a fact that ppl in korea say they hate America or Americans…….

  34. i don’t think netizens are gonna let him off so easily :/

    keep fighting hard jae! i’m on your side 100%
    everyone makes mistakes, even celebrates! look at american celevbrates, they fuck up all the time but they mess up 100000000x times worse than a “myspace comment”

  35. @27 pareho tayo :p

  36. Keep on going Jaebum.

  37. come on it was when he was in high school. if you go to korean sites right now, it’s just mad crazy. they’re all talking about kicking jay out of 2pm and they’re like yankee go home and i’m like wtf he was freaking young @ that time and first of all, i don’t understand who would look through jae bum’s myspace and find those comments and just post them up everywhere so they can get at jae bum like that. this is like really bad and i’m truly worried about jae bum. and another thing, wooyoung on his cyworld said 2pm is altogether, i don’t understand why people are saying crap about him since he’s just trying to be there for jay and showing people that 2pm is a strong group, but a lot of people in korea are saying that he’s just trying to cover him up and not admit his faults when jay already wrote an apology and explained his situations at that time. this is so frustrating and it’s pissing me off so yeah.

  38. Aww! We still luv U Jay! ♥

  39. I will forgive you, JAYYY! :D
