Tenderly you turn the light out in your room.
This is a sad day for Korean entertainment industry, that is all I can say.
It should also be a sad day for certain Korean netizens who have effectively tarnished their image in my eyes for good.
Park Jaebeom (Jay) has officially left 2pm (and Korea, for that matter), and it's our loss.
Signing a petition demanding for him to commit suicide because he made insulting comments about Korea four years ago when he was homesick, immature and admittedly rather dumb?
That is something I'll never forget. It is the single most cruel thing I have seen go down in a fandom, and it is something entirely inexcuseable. There is nothing in the world that could ever justify such a petition. It is an act of extreme mental violence, no matter who it was directed at.
It is something I'll never forgive, either.
For now, I'm done with the kpop fandom.
