2PM Park Jaebum Myspace Scandal
I didn’t expect that 2PM’s leader, Jaebum will end up leaving the group. If you’re not familiar with 2PM. I’ll give you few details first about the group. 2PM is a 76-member Korean boy band such as Junsu, Nichkhun, Taecyeon, Wooyoung, Junho, and Chansung.
These all-male group is under JYP Entertainment same with Wonder Girls company. Let’s omit Jaebum since he decided to leave the group on September 8 because of what he did on his Myspace account way back in 2005 by posting a Korean-offending messages on his account. Fangirls were totally shocked with his decision of leaving the group.
Here’s the message of JaeBum’s message on the official fancafe posted on September 8:
Hello. This is JaeBum from 2PM. I’m sorry to give a last farewell with this message. With that very apologetic heart I have, it seems it is hard for me to see everyone on stage again.”
I’m very sorry to everyone. I’m even more sorry to fans who have gave so much love. I will be leaving 2PM from today. I’m so sorry but I have to leave 2PM and you guys because I have been a leader hyung who not only did not give strength but became a burden. I’m once again sorry.”
Korean netizens most especially to anti’s must be really happy after hearing Jaebums declaration of leaving the group. I feel so sorry for him and for korean netizens. ARGH.
To all fangirls, Hottests and Kpop lovers… please support 2PM even without Park Jaebum. I’m sure that he will be glad if you will still continue supporting his former group.

Park Jaebum Announcement
Park Jaebum announced his resignation on the band's website (Korean language).
Recently, it became known that the singer had written critical remarks on the social network site with the following messages:
"Korea is gay. I hate Koreans. I wanna come back. Korea is whack, but everyone thinks I'm like the illest rapper wen i suck nuts at rappin."
The remarks were posted just after Park Jaebum arrived in South Korea as a trainee for JYP Entertainment, which ended up signing Park Jae Beom as part of One Day, which later slit into 2PM and 2AM.
In the years that followed, 2PM and 2AM rose to fame, and Park Jaebum's earlier remarks came back to hurt him.
