Ex-2PM member Jae-beom has issued an apology following the recent scandal over myspace comments.
Park Jae-beom, now a ex member of 2PM has left an apology post on the official JYP site after the latest controversy.
Park Jae-beom's post:
Hello everyone, this is Park Jae-beom of 2PM.
I would like to apologise for the posts I put up few years ago.
I am sorry.
I would like to take this opportunity to explain my thoughts and apologise to you. On January 2005 I came to Korea under as a high schooler. Since I was born and bred in America, my knowledge on Korean culture was short and since it was my first time here there were difficulties with the language, food and the entire culture.
Rest of the family were away in America and it felt as if people around me were treating me rather harshly.
At the time, the debut date was unclear and everything in jeopardy.
Due to various circumstances, I was exhausted and lonely that I missed home so much and even had thoughts of giving up to return to my family in America.
Furthermore the reason for my perception of Korea at the time was because of personal things that I let it out too emotionally.
I was too young and described my feelings wrongly. At the time I was amateur, childish and too exhausted to have made a big mistake of blaming everything around me.
Then the time passed that I had forgotten about those posts.
Right now, I am truly sorry and embarrassed.
Today I have adjusted in all aspects and my mind has also changed entirely for me to work here which I am thankful about.
Those posts were written 4 years ago and everything have changed now.
I am deeply sorry to those who love us, my family, 'hottest' and my 2PM members.
The history is not going to repeat itself. Again, I apologise with all my heart.
- 2PM Jae-beom -
