Public interest in the�Park Jin Young and�Park Jaebeom story�doesn't appear to be waning any time soon, as it was brought up again during the former's appearance on KBS 2TV's "Win Win."
As allkpop has previously reported, the filming of this episode drew much attention earlier this month after questions�regarding Jaebeom were unexpectedly brought up during the recording, catching Park Jin Young offguard. He later posted a formal apology on the JYPE website.
The JYP Entertainment producer�was asked for his thoughts on Park Jaebeom's exit, to which he carefully responded, "Our company has already released an official statement, what more is there to say? To say anymore, when the bright futures of so many young people are involved..."
He said, "It's a mistake he made when he was young, and he debuted at a young age. They're mistakes anyone at that age could make, but because he was a public figure, it's unfortunate.�At a young age, he had popularity and honor, and to have something like that explode, I could never forgive him."
"I was forced to choose between protecting that young child, or deceiving the public. If I were to cover at least some of it and protect the child, it's possible I wouldn't have to deceive them, but if the situation were to exacerbate, it is only Jaebeom that gets hurt when the public finds out the truth," he concluded.
Netizens commented, "Park Jaebeom is not even a part of your company, stop talking about him," "If you really were to protect him, you wouldn't even speak of his name on shows like this," and "Park Jin Young, is that really the best you could do?"
