As some of you might know, on the 25th of February, it was announced that 2PM leader Park Jaebum (also known as Jay Park) would not be returning to 2PM. Apparently, all the other members agreed to this. It was said that this had already been decided back in January because of a grave mistake on Jay's part during Again & Again promotions. (Fans found out that it was pretty much impossible for Jay to have done something really bad since his schedule was packed. And some are saying that the members and the manager didn't know themselves until the letter regarding Jay's contract termination was put up on JYPE's site).
To be honest, I don't know what to believe. Yesterday, on February 27, a conference with a JYPE representative, the remaining 2PM members and 87 chosen fans was held. According to fan accounts, the remaining members (especially Taecyeon) weren't very nice to the fans, and neither did they talk about Jay in a very good way. Well, at least Taec and Chansung didn't - not really. Nichkhun and Wooyoung were said to be the quietest among 6PM. Here's some interesting insider information that I've stumbled upon:
"We have been able to reach our source. By now we’ve all read the many fan accounts from the conference and it’s obvious that the atmosphere was negative to say the least. The news we’re about to give to you is shocking and regrettable. The Hottests deserve everything from beginning to end, and have always deserved the whole truth.
It’s true that the boys’ manager had a meeting with them in their dorm beforehand to tell them how to behave at the conference. They wanted to calm the fans and also reinforce the “facts” provided in their statement. When the time came around for the actual conference, things changed. We had no intentions of misleading our readers. We ourselves, really did think that it would be scripted.
What the members said during the conference was all their own thoughts. Our source told us that all the emotions were true, but Junho faked the crying. There are still parts from the conference that were scripted. Khun never called/messaged Jay. We all know that many things in the statement were false. The members, of course, said they were true.
That being said, most of the things said by the six were from their own mouths.
They’ve turned against Jay.
We’ve kept quiet about which members support Jay and which ones don’t. We did this because no matter what, we still believed in seven. We didn’t want to see fans fighting or bashing because of the other members and we didn’t want to give the other members trouble. We also believed that they still loved Jay. As long as they still loved Jay, Hottests and 6PM were still the same, and therefore we needed to protect them. That’s why when everybody started bashing 6PM, we defended them.
After recent events, we’ve come together and decided.
We’re through protecting a group that failed to protect its own leader. We owe the truth to the Hottests. We owe it to Jay. Feel free to spread this.
Just like we’ve said before with everything we post, it’s your choice to believe it or not.
At first when the controversy exploded, Junsu and Junho were angry at Jay because of what he said. Junho yelled at Jay and Junsu ignored Jay when he tried to explain. They didn’t understand fully so they were confused and frustrated, like all the angry Koreans. As far as we know, Junho was still angry at Jay when Jay left for the airport. Taecyeon, Wooyoung, and Chansung cried and Taecyeon and Nichkhun tried their best to bring Jay back. As time passed, all six members wanted desperately to bring Jay back. More months passed. We got the news that members were starting to turn their backs on Jay. The biggest shock to us was Taecyeon, since he was the one who advocated the boycott the most in the beginning. At this point, Taecyeon, Junsu, and Junho were against Jay coming back and were also against the boycott. Taecyeon and Junho wanted more fame and popularity, while Junsu wanted the position of Leader. Nichkhun was in the middle. He supported Jay but also learned from his family that he should be grateful to JYPE for giving him opportunities. Wooyoung and Chansung were on Jay’s side, but Wooyoung soon moved to the middle too. Up until the few days before the conference, there were still three members waiting for Jay. The remaining members who decided that they don’t need Jay decided to tell Chansung and Wooyoung lies about Jay to bring them to JYPE’s side while Nichkhun was in the Philippines filming Danbi. Now they have both turned against Jay.
Nichkhun is the only member who is still waiting for Jay, but even he is not completely against JYPE.
We will not answer questions about this.
It’s true that the boys went to karaoke and got drunk after the conference. They had dinner before as well. Our source told us that they celebrated because they’re relieved to have Jay gone.
THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT:
We want to reiterate that plans CAN CHANGE.
We said before that a video of Jay might be released. It has been filmed and they planned to show it at the conference, but didn’t. They’re planning on bringing Jay back to Korea. They will make him say to fans that he doesn’t deserve to come back. He will ask the fans to support the six members. This will serve as his final apology and farewell. This was originally planned to happen on February 14th, but it has been changed to the 28th.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS IS UNCONFIRMED. Our source just wanted us to warn you of what’s possible. It’s urgent that you SPREAD THIS.
MAKE SURE PEOPLE KNOW JYPE IS GOING TO MAKE JAY LIE.
Another side note, if the situation gets worse (I really don’t know how it can get much worse than it already is), it’s likely that 2PM will disband.
It’s your choice whether you want to support them or not. Right now… I don’t think anyone does. To us, it’s not worth supporting a group like this.
Our source left a message:
“Today’s 2PM is not the old 2PM anymore.”
Our writers have been by 2PM’s side from the start. We’ve done what we could and we’re grateful for our source, our affiliates, and our readers. We’ve confirmed with our source that even after all this chaos, Jay still wants to come back. We will update soon about what we can do to help Jay.
Writers will also update with their respective rants.
Our next official update might be our goodbye.
Thank you."

http://insider2pm.wordpress.com/ If this turns out to be true, then it's really sad what money and fame can to do a person.
Actually, I have to say that I'm quite disappointed. I'm trying not to believe these things, but it's hard when everyone's saying the same.
I can't believe they would do that to Wooyoung and Chansung - and neither can I believe that they actually believed them.
The only one I still have faith in is Khun - I hope he doesn't do the same and stays the angel he is.
Also, lots of Hottest have left the Official Fancafe (apparently, over 50,000 already). Jay's fancafe has kicked out all registered One Day members (which I can't really understand - 2AM has nothing to do with it. Actually, Kwon seems to really love Jay, from what I've read about their trainee days. And Seulong too, or he wouldn't have said these things a few days/weeks ago).
What I want to know is what Jay could have possibly done that the other members suddenly started hating him. Drug abuse? Getting a girl pregnant? Aren't these things forgivable?
Some others say that Taec and Chansung might have said all these bad things at the press conference as to take the hate away from Jay - which I doubt, after reading this. I wonder how Jay is doing right now...
On a brighter note, Chase Malone (also known as Cha Cha; a member of the same b-boy group Jay is in - Art of Movement) is going to release an album in 2010. And fans are speculating that Jay might be featured in it.
AOM (I'm guessing Cha Cha) have stated on their Facebook (after being bombarded with lots of shout-outs to Jay): "There are good things to come. If you guys are angry about certain things, you don't have to stay that way. Just wait a little while for good things to come :] The music will never die!"
Now, are they telling us something or what?
