2PM@Park Jaebeom has requested to terminate the current contract with JYPE
Park Jaebeom will not return to 2PM and JYPE's new group



It is confirmed that 2PM's member and exleader Park Jaebeom will not come back to the group. After a highly controversial scandal two months ago, Park, a Korean American, quickly resigned from the group and flew back to his hometown in America and has been keeping a low profile for a while.

2PM's fans have reacted negatively to Jaebeom's departure, creating boycotts against JYPE and 6 member 2PM for the past month. JYPE officially announced their stance that they will welcome Jaebeom back to the group when he is ready. However, 2PM's fans have expressed their distrust in JYPE's willingness to take Jaebeom back and continued with the boycott amidst 2PM's comeback activities this month.

The situation took on a new turn today when JYPE announced that Park Jaebeom has requested to terminate the current contract with JYPE. A JYPE representative said that even though the contract is still valid until 2013, they understand that the pressure Park Jaebeom is experiencing is too much for him to handle and believe that Park does not have the confidence to continue to perform on stage. Park Jaebeom's anti-Korean comment a few years ago on his friends' Myspace profile has also damaged JYPE and 2PM's image in the public so it is very hard to bring him back to the group without risking 2PM's success. Therefore, the two sides decided to terminate the contract last week and starting next month, Park Jaebeom will be free from any responsibilities for JYPE.

Meanwhile, JYPE stated that they will continue to promote 2PM as a 6 member group. JYPE has also decided that despite the 2PM's high popularity, they will keep the group under low profile and only produce one album per year for 2PM. JYPE will also debut another boy group yet to be named in order to bring a fresh air to JYPE whose image has been tarnished in the public after Jaebeom's scandal. This new group will be active both in Korea and China.
