Get the Fuck Over It, Hottests
Jay is gone. Your "leadja" is not returning to 2PM. There will be six members to the group. 7 - 1 does not equal 0, it equals six. A six-membered 2PM does not make them 6PM. Jay is in America. He is home, where he belongs. Boycotting does nothing. Making threats to kill yourself in front of the JYPE building does nothing but make you look like an idiot.
Get the fuck over it and move on.
I will be the first to admit that I would love to see Jay back in the group, but I have also stated from day one that I didn't believe he'd be back anytime soon, if he came back at all. BECAUSE THIS IS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AND THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT MAKING MONEY.
Honestly, Jay fucked up. He did. Was it right for all of South Korea to react the way they did? No, absolutely not. But it still doesn't change the fact that he fucked up. Twice, according to the JYPE official statement. I don't know what Jay did, nor do I care. If it's as horrible as everyone is making it out to be, why the hell would you want to know that?
Why are you demanding that what he did be released to the public? You keep saying Hottests deserve to know ... actually, you don't deserve to know. Because that is personal. That is something that impacts Jay's life, Junsu's life, Junho's life, Wooyoung's life, Nichkhun's life, Taekyeon's life, and Chansung's life directly. IT DOES NOT IMPACT YOU. IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
And even if they did release the reason, how could YOU be so selfish in demanding that? Yeah, that's right. It's selfish of you to demand it. Have you ever thought about what EXACTLY it could be? Have you ever thought that if it is so bad that no one can speak of it, that it could very well DESTROY Jay's life? Are you all really that selfish that you need to satisfy yourself, give yourselves peace of mind rather than hope and pray that whatever it is Jay did will not harm his NEW life in America? If you're all so interested in protecting "Leadja," then shouldn't you be demanding NOT to have this reason released?
Also, this boycott is the stupidest thing ever. Don't listen to them. Go ahead. A six-membered 2PM has actually been doing fine without Jay. You know why? Because they're talented and because rational people recognize that even though they are one less member, their talent has not changed. But go ahead and turn your backs on the men you once loved and obsessed over. Way to claim to be a Hottest.
I honestly don't blame them for saying that 2PM would be better without Jay. Because they have been doing fine without him, and because they have to worry about THEMSELVES and their families and their lives and their futures. Can you honestly blame them for looking out for themselves? Jay screwed up, whatever he did that is so horrendous could also screw up their future. Again, if you claim to be Hottests, you'd be supportive of the future of Junsu, Junho, Wooyoung, Taekyeon, Nichkhun, and Chansung.
I just have to also mention that I heard some people actually talking about committing suicide outside of the JYPE building. I hope that is just a rumor, and nothing serious, because that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. You're really going to end your life because Jay is not coming back to 2PM? Okay, great. Make ALL SEVEN men live in guilt for the rest of their lives because you're a fucking dumbass.
I will support 2PM. 2PM consists of Junsu, Junho, Taekyeon, Wooyoung, Nichkun, and Chansung. I will not boycott this nor will I sign any petitions against them, so don't bother asking me to even spread the word. With or without Jay, I support 2PM.
With that said, I will also support Jay in whatever he decides to do in life. If he somehow makes it here in the American music industry, I will support him. If he decides to stay out of the limelight and live a quiet life in Seattle, then I will support him. If you love him as much as you claim you do, you'd do the exact same thing.
7 - 1 = 6
Oh, and feel free to unfollow me on Twitter or leave hate comments below. It doesn't bother me. You've all asserted your feelings and opinions VERY strongly since September. I feel I should be able to do the same.
And then there is part two of this post ...

Park Jaebeom, I Love You. And by Love, I Mean “Obsess Infinite Amounts Over.”
Park Jaebeom, how we'll miss you.
So, I’m writing this as my one and only blog entry to get my obsession out of my system, because I can no longer afford to ogle over someone that I cannot see perform as the leader of 2PM. And I know that the Hottest (the official name for 2PM fans) are protesting and boycotting events of the now six member group until their precious leader is restored to his rightful place, but I honestly do not see that happening any time soon. Not trying to put a downer on all of you Hottest out there, but realistically speaking, unless your boy and Park Jin-young (CEO and founder of JYP Entertainment) work out the whole sticky situation, then Jaebeom will more than likely stay in America.
Which sucks for all of you in Asia (and everywhere else in the globe), but it is quite a happy thought for those fans who reside in the States. Honestly, I think that if he is still under contract with JYPE, then he needs to get out of it and focus on making a name for himself here in America. He’ll do exceptionally better in the American market than he ever would have just staying within the Asian countries. Not just here, domestically, but internationally as well. How many major musicians and actors and actresses that are internationally known are American? The answer is a lot. Because we pimp our citizens out hardcore, treating them like high-class whores.
And Jaebeom, darling … you are an American-born citizen. Embrace the whoring out of your American career.
Your hip dips put Cristiano Ronaldo to shame.
The controversy revolving around Park Jaebeom (or shall I call him Jay Park since he’s now back home in America?) stems from a silly MySpace comment he left when he first traveled to South Korea to become a trainee for JYPE—four years ago! The American teenager told a friend, “I hate Korea. Koreans are gay.” Which, in the States, that might not seem like such a bad thing, seeing as how it’s common teenager slang to refer to something that is dumb (not that teenagers referring to something as “gay” is okay, because it does offend homosexuals and it should never be used in a negative manner). But when that’s literally translated into Korean … holy cow, it’s like the ultimate Yo Mama joke.
People made a huge deal out of nothing, out of a cultural and linguistic misunderstanding, and in fear of possible backlash against the entire group, Jaebeom did the correct thing (in my honest opinion) and left the group. Hundreds of fans went to the airport to beg him not to get on the plane to go back home, but what they don’t understand is what could have happened if he stayed. And they also don’t understand that while their intentions of boycotting in hopes to get Jaebeom's and JYPE's attention and to call for his return to South Korea are noble, and the amazing unity that has occurred between Hottest all over the globe, their efforts are pointless. It’s about politics, folks.
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely and one-hundred percent want him to remain active in the music industry, but I don’t think it will be with 2PM, and if it is with 2PM, it will not be any time soon. Enough of all that, though.
Jaebeom is lovable for a lot of reasons.
One, looking at him, I can’t help but think dirty thoughts. Two, I really want to lick chocolate syrup or whip cream off of his abs. Hell, I am even willing to eat kimchi off of his body, and that is saying a lot because I cannot stomach the smell of Korea’s beloved dish. I just can’t.
Does this really need a witty caption?
Jaebeom’s dance moves are insane. I could dedicate a whole blog post to his dance ability, but I won’t do that because, again, this will be my one and only post regarding him and my obsession of him. But, for a little teaser, just a quick taste of the sick moves, here are a few links I highly recommend. I suggest you either: clear the surrounding area free of furniture, as seeing him will make you want to attempt his flawless movements, or keep some Kleenex nearby, because ladies you will need to wipe the slight drool that will escape your mouth. (The last video has made me a firm believer that Jaebeom is an absolute dirty freak in the bedroom. If you don't find it temperature-rising-sexy, then please let me know where you are located so I can call the nearest mental health facility and have you checked in).
Until Jaebeom either: A. returns to 2PM and remains the leader, B. embarks on a solo career here in America (unlikely, but my deep wishful thinking), or C. something incredibly juicy happens in regards to the current crap-hole of a situation, I will not obsess over him further nor write about him in detail, other than the occasional mention and link back to this post. It’s too devastating and heartbreaking for me to deal with.
Park Jaebeom, in the highly unlikely chance you will ever read this (still, have to put it as a precautionary thing so I don’t get put on an international stalker’s list or something), know that whatever you do, there will be millions of people around the world, supporting you. You are a super talented guy, and even though times might be dark right now, your future is indeed bright. Hang in there, lovely. Oh, and I also love you.
Yeah, definitely going to be on that list.
Yours,
The K-Pop Addict
