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, one of Daum's portal sites. Over 3000 people have signed this petition, leaving comments such as "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.
All I can say is, I truly hope that things work out for Jaebeom. 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. Also check out the 2OneDay Forums.
Focus on the positive instead of the negative, Jaebum!

Woah that’s a bit harsh. I think Koreans are a bit repressed, because they’re not allowed to be this rude in real life so they use the internet as a way to vent their anger. Then again, some of the comments I see by Americans are just as bad, so eh.
