Park Jin Young speaks up officially about 2PM JaeBum for the first time on MBC Golden Fishery.
On Golden Fishery aired on 11th November, Park Jin Young said, âIf JaeBum comes back, he will return as part of 2PM of course. It will not be a solo comeback.â
MC Kang Ho Dong then asked, âDo you have to send JaeBum off to America in such a rush?â and Park Jin Young replied, âWhen JaeBumâs case was exposed, it was put under great criticism. And when he returned to the States, suddenly public opinion was âWas there a mistranslation?â and that he did not do any wrong. The answer is in between.â
He continued, âEven though it was not like it is a mistake, it was not like it wasnât a mistake as well. Someone who is responsible for part of the culture or has nothing to do with our culture should not be receiving the criticisms.â
âJaeBum is not a bad child. Back then he was going through a tough time and was not motivated at all. He even said to me âIf it is not Park JinYoungâs song, I am confident of successâ. But I like it that he does not lie. JaeBum has been changing and the JaeBum now is very different from the JaeBum then. The JaeBum back then had caused hurt to many Koreans, but the JaeBum now is very embarrassed by what he has done and does not want to burden the group as the leader so he has decided to leave. If itâs me I would have done the same.â
Add-on translation:
Kang Ho Dong then asked, âAs the company, shouldnât you stop him?â Park Jin Young said, âHe did wrong, and on his own he thought that he did wrong. If you care about JaeBum, I think that public opinion and fans should leave him to be. He will know that everyone cares, but leave him to be for now.â
Lastly, he said, âThe thing that I can do is be help as a dance and song teacher to help him keep his standards as a singer up during this resting period. When he is willing to return on to the stage, I will help him willingly. If JaeBum is to return, he will return as 2PM and not solo. JaeBum, the other members and myself will not want a solo comeback.â
