There is a petition going around Korean websites to stop all 2PM activities due to leader Jaebeom’s Myspace controversy. As of the 7th, those in favor of the petition are a little over 5100 netizens. Although the number does not seem that big, for a group who is currently active, it is a number that can greatly harm their future.
For those of you who are not already aware of Jaebeom’s Myspace controversy, here’s a little bit of background information: Myspace comments that Jaebeom had left for his friend a couple years back, have recently surfaced and have caused much dilemma for 2PM. The comments read towards his dislike of Korea during his trainee years. Being the prideful Korea, many were offended by the comments and quickly took action to bring 2PM’s leader down.
2PM was supposed to return with a new album in October, but because of this controversy, they may have to lay low for awhile.
Regarding 2PM activities, JYPE stated:
“For now, 2PM will not have any broadcasting schedules and all of their music performances have been canceled. They will only be recording and practicing dance moves for their new album.”
JYP in regards to removing Jaebeom from the group:
“Although, we feel very guilty and sorry for all the people who have been disappointed by Park Jaebeom’s past mistakes, I will not be taking him out of the group. Many people have been suggesting ideas of banning Park Jaebeom out of 2PM, but that will never happen. We believe that he has done something wrong, but as a whole, we do not think it is enough to be taking his dreams and goals away from him. This was not a decision made by only the JYPE staff, but it was something all of the fellow 2PM members have agreed to.”

With all 2PM activities on hold for now, Jaebeom will be kept out of the limelight until matters die down a bit. For ways to support 2PM, check out the 2ONEDAY Community.
