Recent rumors of Jae-beom are only rumors, says JYP Entertainment.
Recently, there have been many rumors regarding Jae-beom of 2PM, which have all been officially denied by JYP Entertainment.
The rumors include:
1. Debut in Hollywood film, Hype Nation. This is a dance movie and the staff have been looking for a fluent English speaking Asian star. Initially they wanted Boa but after her rejection, they turned their attention to Jae-beom.
2. Jae-beom filmed an MV. Unknown sources suggested he filmed an MV most likely for his solo career. This is because leaderless 2PM has been too successful with the 1:59PM album, which made him uncomfortable about returning. Other reporters put forward this argument because the leader's return could be controversial and knock 2PM out from the top. Still others disagreed because last year, JYP himself announced on MBC that everything is up to Jay and if he is to return, it is to 2PM. Furthermore, if Jae-beom is to choose another agency and have a different singing career, that would cause an uncomfortable relationship with JYP, not to mention upsetting the fellow 2PM members.
3. Jae-beom as a panel member on MBC's Come To Play. He is to replace Noh Hong-cheol, a comedian panel soon to leave the show, and make a come back through this show.
4. JYP Entertainment to make an official announcement on the 23rd regarding Jae-beom's return.
JYP Entertainment checked these issues with Jae-beom directly and announced that these are only rumors and not the truth. Plus it is too early to make any announcement about him.
Though only rumors, these have become hot potatoes in Korea, ranking as the number one issue in most portal sites.
