Feb/18/2011 : Jay Park's Apology. Dumbfounded.

I expect most of you people are aware of the incident where Jay Park (who was the leader of 2PM) had to be sent to the US, forced to drop out from the K-pop idol group 2PM due to a mysterious error that he had made, still not identified. 

Due to this incident the majority of the Hottests (official name for fans of the group 2PM) took the side of Jay Park, either by extreme fandom or sympathy. But ironically 2PM (Jay Park's fans called the group 6PM since now there were only 6 members without Jay) was on their peak as an idol group with their new song Heartbeat.

As time passed until now, 2011 February, people became more flexible and were able to have a more reasoning mind. 2PM (without Jay) fan club and popularity steadily recovered although we still have questions about the reason of Jay Park's drop out from 2PM.

All of the information above I expect most of you guys to know, and also that Jay Park showed almost no sign of apology and disappointment towards his mistake and towards 2PM.

But now, after a year, we are informed about Jay Park's official apology to members of 2PM and JYP (Park Jin-Young, president of the company).

The majority of the people now share ideas that I personally think should have always been supported throughout the 2PM dilemma.

Translation: I do not event want to know what kind of mistake it was that Jay Park made, but honestly as a person who liked Jay in the past, it's quite disappointing.

Translation: JYP and 2PM tried their best to provide a shield for you (Jay) even though it required them to suffer severely from the audience. But you have to apologize at this kind of time instead of reflecting at that period? At that time you even said you were very honorable in front of God.

In fact it is a little late for this kind of news to be informed to us. I was always disturbed by this issue with 2PM, and I actually think it's a better clean end to the unfortunate affair.
