Hottests refuse to purchase 2PM’s album

2pm3_hannah_20091113

No Jae-bum, no album purchase.

On November 12th at 7pm, Jae-bum fans put up posters around the Seoul City Hall Station, stating they will not purchase 2PM’s album if Jae-bum isn’t back. Clearly, these hottests are stating that they are unhappy with 2PM returning to the music scene without their, now ex-leader, Jae-bum.

For those that can’t read Korean, the flyer states,

2PM, We won’t buy unless there’s 7 members.

We will take down these posters ourselves at 10pm, so please do not take them down.

What a way for Jae-bum fans to declare war against JYP, but will it help much?

    i understand that fans love JaeBum, but to rip down posters, that’s just mad rude to all the other members!

    • 2 Michelle November 16, 2009 at 5:07 am

      They aren’t RIPPING or TEARING posters…they’re saying they’ll take down their OWN posters so the cleaning crew doesn’t have to.

    Esther. i totally agree with you. that’s really rude.
    those crazy hottests. do they really think this will work? if they don’t support 2pm now, there will be no more 2pm. that way jaebom can’t return as the leader. >:O

    Hottest should really put yourselves in jay’s shoes and leave him alone! He will come back but He just needs time to reflect and rest too! Not supporting 2pm with the current 6 members is not supporting Jay’s friends! We should all support their album more than before and maybe jay will be touched and return sooner! By boy cotting them, you’re just adding on to Jay’s troubles and burden! You’re making Jay feel really guilty that fans are not supporting 2pm’s album cos he’s not back.. When will you guys ever give him a break! 2pm is not only made up of Jay Idiots! Hottest shouldn’t call themselves 2pm fans..just call yourselves Jay fans. Actually, you are hurting Jay so don’t even call yourselves a fan of any of them..anyways..i’m quite sure that there are many other fans who are more than ready to support this album..2pm Hwaiting! Love you guys forever!

    even though jaebom havent come back yet, hope the fans and the hottest will buy their album and support them. Stop boycotting! Support them but still believe in jay to come back! cause without their support 2pm 6 members will be nothing. If they dont stop , and jay decide to come back , there might be no 2pm to come back to.

  5. 7 yuuki88 November 15, 2009 at 1:31 pm

    the people who are doing this aren’t fans, but confused, angry people. if they love Jaebum so much, why don’t they do what he said? he told his fans to continue to support 2PM after he quit. if they can’t do that, they have failed as a fan!

  6. 8 en November 15, 2009 at 1:54 pm

    if we support 6 member … maybe jay won’t coming back because 6 member without him, many people’s support 6 member this is make his down … and never coming back to 2pm again…

  7. 9 Cappuccino. November 15, 2009 at 2:01 pm

    Oh well. No buy, no group, and selfishness everywhere.

  8. 10 alice_inwonderland November 15, 2009 at 3:16 pm

    that’s bull, how could they be so inconsiderate to the hard work the other members did for their comeback album? why can’t the Hottest consider the feelings of the other 6 boys, wouldn’t they have been hit hardest from the whole ordeal? at this time, shouldn’t they be offering their support? all this boycotting crap disgusts me.
    by acting like this aren’t they making jay feel worse about the situation? JYP’s already stated that he’ll come back when he’s ready, by acting like this aren’t they placing extra burden on him, is this the so-called ’support’? i’ll assume that he’s already heard their (Hottest) voices, give him some time, he’ll be back when he ready.

    those Hottests claim to be 2PM fans, but they’re really Jaebeom fans and are lying that they are 2PM fans. And they’re really not that great at being Jaebeom fans either with all the crap they are pulling. With fans like them, who needs enemies

    I think Jay would prefer to come back quietly- but now it will be impossible. Every stunt that these specific Hottests do is just bringing up the issue again: Jaebeom had offended people and now he’s not here. I think Jay just wants to put all this stuff behind him, but the Hottests aren’t letting him.

    I hope there are some sane Korean Hottests out there protesting against these stupid anti-2pm moves.

      “those Hottests claim to be 2PM fans, but they’re really Jaebeom fans and are lying that they are 2PM fans.”

      OMG NOW I FEEL LIKE I WISHED I LEARNT KOREAN FASTER. I’D GO TO THE HOTTESTS’ FANS WEBSITE AND TYPE THAT. ILY FOR SAYING THAT :O <3

  10. 13 en November 15, 2009 at 4:24 pm

    oh.. god.. just one chance… give him one just one he stage at the mama awards.. with other member…he will make changes in himself and 2pm group…
    does not mean no support 6 member but it’s difficult for me… was different without jay i think 6 member feel that.

  11. 14 Tess November 15, 2009 at 5:41 pm

    @Esther: you got it wrong, Jae bum fans would not rip down the poster of 2pm’s new album but because “On November 12th at 7pm, Jae-bum fans put up posters around the Seoul City Hall Station…” so when they said: “We will take down these posters ourselves at 10pm, so please do not take them down.” they mean that they will take the poster that they put up at 7pm.

  12. 15 GG November 15, 2009 at 5:44 pm

    This anti-2pm move has got to be stop. they were trying to make things more complicated. You were all thinking of Jae. How about the other members sake? :3

    ** I’m not an anti-Jae here but *the show must go on*

  13. 16 Rni November 15, 2009 at 8:11 pm

    why is it popseoul is not postinng new posts?? haha, i wanna know more news….. haha

  14. 18 haha November 15, 2009 at 8:32 pm

    some of you are taking it a bit far with your attacks on the hottest in korea. seriously, im not for or against what they are doing but all this could have been avoided if an official press conference was held with jay or jyp there explaining everything. was it? no. instead it felt like they were trying to let things blow over and did it? no.

    jyp basically left the fans in the dark for a long time about jays possible return so i can understand their frustration.

    though im not a huge fan of gdragon, when his whole scandal broke out and a lot of people were calling him a plagiarizer, YG was there backing him from the start. that, i can respect.

    • 19 boom chon November 16, 2009 at 10:14 am

      exactly we are left in the dark — so why do hottest claim they know more than us — i gotta say they are jae fans not 2pm fans — and you never know jyp keeping silent about it could be a request from jay himself

  15. 20 Jessica November 15, 2009 at 8:40 pm

    If I were JYP I’ll just disband this fan club and start a new one with a different name. I’m sure there are still some hottest left that against of this boycott on the 6 member and of the album.

    Hottest is turning out to be an anti fan club rather than their fan club.

    I get it that they want leader Jaebum back (heck I was one of them), but I finally understand now that it’s not JYP nor the 6 members fault that Jaebum isn’t back yet. Why punish them? It’s Jaebum that doesn’t want to come back. He isn’t ready yet.

    • 21 boom chon November 16, 2009 at 10:08 am

      agreed jyp need to let this group go — they are dragging the rest of the boys down — harsh but true

    • 22 Sushi November 16, 2009 at 12:11 pm

      I completely agree; as much as I love Jaebum, its his choice to come back. Hottest is perpetuating the issue and making the other boys in the group feel worse when its really not their fault. This is what happens when immature korean teenage girls come together, the mean girls scenario.

  16. 23 Lisa November 16, 2009 at 3:19 am

    I love how they speak out for all of us fans. I actually bought the album though. Jay may be my favorite member, but I will accept this album. Jay will come back on his own free will. Korean fans really need to get a life.

  17. 25 pikah pikah November 16, 2009 at 12:25 pm

    it’s just weird,they put Jay in that particular situation..and now begging for him to come back?!

    netizens shouldn’t digging his grave in d 1st place~myspace..

  18. 26 IRIS :) November 16, 2009 at 12:53 pm

    people, if you were really 2pm fans, you would support his brothers as well. to them their like family,
    imagine your family being mocked and made fun of just because of something that you did.
    thats what you guys are doing to him.
    you guys should support them no matter what!
    so, im gonna stand up tall and BUY their album

  19. 27 sorrynalangfe November 16, 2009 at 1:09 pm

    That’s so immatured. And downright stupid. It makes sense if minus that one singer, there’s a marked change in the song, meaning the songs in the album had noticeable changes because of their leader’s absence, then I will not buy the album. If they still can manage to fill the cd satisfactorily, I’ll support them and by it.

  20. 28 whoaxthere November 16, 2009 at 4:20 pm

    why are they doing that?
    why do they choose to dwell on something that is already solved?!
    jay is coming back, shoudldn’t they be happy about it?
    why can’t they understand that he can’t come back immediately?
    things like that take time.
    why do they choose to create more problems for everybody?
    what more could they possibly want?
    jay isn’t the only member of 2pm. so just because he’s not in the group anymore, you’re all just going to stop supporting the rest of the hard working 2pm members?
    trust me, i’m sure they’re having even more of a harder time than ANY of us are.
    you guys need to stop making everything such a big deal.

  21. 29 pinkheart November 16, 2009 at 5:30 pm

    “No Jae-bum, no album purchase.” Really? Oh my gosh they (fans) are insane…

  22. 30 en November 16, 2009 at 9:29 pm

  23. 31 sam13 November 16, 2009 at 9:46 pm

  25. 33 xoxojaeBOM November 17, 2009 at 5:42 am

    some hottest are ridiculous..
    u love jaebom but u dont support his group..
    what is that?,,,yes,u want jaebom back..but why
    do u couldnt respect his decision,,let him free
    now for now,,,give him rest,,support his decision and at the same time support the rest of 2pm members..then accept him back soon with warm big welcome when he wants to come back..is it really hard for u to do that? i bet u must know that jaebom also want his group to be success too even without him..or do u think he wants his members fail in their careers when he’s not around with them as for now??he is the best leader
    who loves his members so much,so it’s impossible for him
    to wish bad luck for him members right?..if u really love jaebom,,please stop burdening him with this boycotting event..stop making him feel guilty when u start to boycott the rest of the members…it’s not the rest of 2pm members who made jaebom back to seattle…stop being immature and please think rasionally and positively…SUPPORT 2PM MEMBERS AND PRAY FOR JAEBOM COMEBACK ARE THE BEST THING TO DO FOR NOW…well,eventho some of the people dont want to buy 2pm’s new album coz this BOYCOTTING event,but there are still a lot of people who buy it..so,dont worry 2pm oppa…u still have hottest who love u even when u are 6 or 7..and for jaebom,we always pray and hope for your comeback,,comes back when u are ready and we’ll accept u with love..we’ll wait u,jaebom oppa no matter how long..for those who didnt buy it,u must be regretted soon if u didnt buy this album..trust me..the best masterpiece..

  26. 34 shinhbang November 17, 2009 at 7:41 am

    Korean citizens are so overrated! I mean sheesh, calm down people. You can’t always get what you want. I’m a big fan of 2PM and would love it if Jaebum comes back… but isn’t this going way overboard?

  27. 35 db4lb_yo November 17, 2009 at 8:21 am

    How can they call themselves FANS??? If they destroy 2PM, will that make them happy??? This is just plain sick

  28. 36 pat2xpamii November 17, 2009 at 10:29 am

    waaahh!!! they’re not supporting 2PM!!!!!! :( maybe this incident will cause 2PM to disband!!!! NNNOOO!!!!!

  29. 37 JAYANH November 17, 2009 at 11:39 am

    OMG, these hottests in korea are driving me crazy.
    He has plans on coming back danggit! He needs time right now! What more do you want he’s freaking coming back! Just not now. grrr..It seems like they dont care for the other members of 2pm anymore.

  30. 38 boo November 18, 2009 at 10:15 am

    Fangirls are always so annoying.

    They act like their cause is so noble.
    Retards.

    You care about 2pm, but 2pm only cares about the fan group as a whole, not the fangirl as an individual.

    To the singer, fangirl = nobody.

    Fangirls, please calm the hell down and go obsess over something that matters.

  31. 39 WHAT TIME IS IT? IT'S 2PM! November 18, 2009 at 9:09 pm

    무슨 글언 팬들이 다있어!
    what kind of fans are they?
    betrayers of 2pm.

  32. 40 Anonymister November 19, 2009 at 8:34 pm

    “We will take down these posters ourselves at 10pm, so please do not take them down.”

    At least you know what time to arrest them.

  33. 41 olivia November 20, 2009 at 11:47 am

    have those idiots ever considered that maybe jaebum doesn’t want to go back?(idk if he does. I can’t speak for him but,) would it be better to have 1 guy live in misery making some horny obsessive fans have their fix or have him life for himself?

    • 42 olivia November 20, 2009 at 11:50 am

      oh yeah! and let’s not forget! these probably the SAME exact fans who were stoning him b/c of his myspace comment telling him to leave. they need to make up their mind
