'Jaebum Marketing' Stop!

[theuncolored.livejournal.com]

After having left 2PM, Jaebum has been the target of exaggerated marketing tactics. Various broadcasting companies have been using Jaebum as a means of advertisement. Jaebum's agency, JYPE, has expressed their disappointment. "Jaebum is spending time by rethinking his actions. We understand why everyone is so curious and interested about him but we wish everyone would just step back and give him the time he needs. Please stop intruding into his personal life."

The 'Jaebum Marketing' issue was exacerbated with a show aired on the 25th. 'Sunday Night' producers chased not only Jaebum but also his father.

Netizens have been expressing their anger with the intrusion into his personal life, his house, his family, and his day to day activities. They also criticized the panelists irresponsible and aggressive statements. The discussion board for this show has reached 2,000 posts with netizens expressing their anger.

It is not only broadcasting companies taking part in 'Jaebum Marketing' but also cable channel's Mnet and their MAMA production. They released a statement saying that they would like to bring Jaebum onto their show. Unfortunately, Mnet failed to take into consideration of JYPE's situation. It is basically a 'He could come' but a 'He also couldn't come' situation, making the fans angry with their irresponsibility.

It is expected for much more broadcasting companies to use Jaebum in their marketing ploys up until the end of this year. JYPE has stated "With such intrusion into Jaebum's personal life, we believe that him and his family will only be in more pain. Should such events happen again, we will personally step in and request a decline for all intrusions."

Just saw this on tumblr;



I need to go to NYC ASAP.

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

On topic; Profiting over someone else's turmoil? Not cool Mnet, not cool.

[aunts.livejournal.com]

LOL the JYP building sure doesn't look like THAT in NYC, plus I'm not sure if NY Hottests would have the time AND the effort to make 15,000 ORIGAMI ROSES, XD
Our post-it situation almost 2 months ago barely had a good turnout, LOL.

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

Tumblr has lied to me once again.

[caro1az.livejournal.com]

HAHA! THIS.

[dominique-franc.livejournal.com]

I think this is the most concrete statement we've had

[injichan.livejournal.com]

[xoxoknlove.livejournal.com]

They also criticized the panelists irresponsible and aggressive statements.

LOOK WHO'S TALKING.
oh my bad, starting a "suicide" petition is totally not aggressive
and then crying like a baby about your mistake is totally responsible.

This. Boy needs some space, so let's give it to him.

[herro-is-vip.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's because it was actually serious? No doubt SM wants the Kangin deal over with and people to stop talking about it so that they can go back to making money.

[caro1az.livejournal.com]

Yeah, IA.

[ricey11.livejournal.com]

You kinda fucking suck right now JYPE.
If you were on this shit harder some of this could've been avoided, especially the 'Sunday Night' shit.
I get that no one is gonna leave that poor boy alone but, I think, JYPE should've made this statement and done something ages ago.
/end illogical wishful thinking

[x3eviie.livejournal.com]

GO GIRL! ~
IA. Alot of this shit would've never happened if they took action a LONG time ago. It's too late now. D:

[fadeintoyou.livejournal.com]

"Jaebum is spending time by rethinking his actions..."

wh...whut? I hope they don't mean he's spending the time thinking about what he wrote. bcuz WTF there's nothing to think about.

"...we will personally step in and request ..."

woah, way to be harsch and show them who's boss but really, where was this hard ass act when the shirt first hit the fan!? too little too late.

[ichlibedi-an.livejournal.com]

yes.

[heyahala.livejournal.com]

double this

[x3eviie.livejournal.com]

THIS.

[shiawaseni.livejournal.com]

so i guess MAMA being the show Jay announces his comeback on, isn't going to happen...

[sayitisso.livejournal.com]

JYPE, DIAF.

of the very few statements you release, this?
you are disappoint all over again.

i swear if i saw that man walking down the street i would eat him alive after shoving all those post its and roses and letters down his throat /end fiery passionate anger

not really, but seriously? get on top of your business, god fucking damn it.

[injichan.livejournal.com]

The damage is done JYPE. But better late than never.

[theprerogative.livejournal.com]

Netizens need to make up their mind. Intruding into personal space? Isn't it a little late to say that when they already did which was the whole reason why he's gone. Gee. Walk your talk, Netizens.

[beauty0fparting.livejournal.com]

"...Should such events happen again, we will personally step in and request a decline for all intrusions."

Ok, JYPE, and how do you plan to do that? I'm not sure about laws or anything but I'm pretty sure you can't request for a restraining order against the media as a whole.

Can they? *is ignorant*

[rawthorne.livejournal.com]

I think it's tricky to get a restraining order when there's been no aggression - verbal or otherwise. Unless you count the antis... Getting a restraining order against the media is essentially barring them from reporting on something. I doubt you can do that without infringing the freedom of the press.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_kitera/]

For some reason, I'd probably be laughing my head off in amusement if I was in Jay's shoes right now. Cos here I am, happily in Seattle, back with my old friends, able to rest and do all the things that i haven't done for the past four years, whereas in Korea, it's chaos everywhere and everyone's battling with each other....over me.

Lol.

[splendidlure.livejournal.com]

lol. Let's hope Jaebum has your sense of humor. ;D

[hansoogie.livejournal.com]

Dear JYP/E

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Jaebum is spending time by rethinking his actions.
I think this pretty much confirms JYPE made him leave as a punishment instead of him just quitting voluntarily.

[herro-is-vip.livejournal.com]

That's what I was thinking. It's really odd word choice compared to "Jaebum is taking a break/resting/spending time with his family".

[evil-zucchini.livejournal.com]

Hello, JYPE you should have done this ages ago.

[heyahala.livejournal.com]

After what had happened, only NOW they want to STEP IN (just) to request a decline for intrusions?? Wtf, if they (JYPE) had done better in handling this crisis, all these things are not going to happen. Conspiracy is just a conspiracy. For now, all i have to do is just to applaud their surprisingly 'good' skills in entertainment business.

[chatnero.livejournal.com]

Media needs to stop stalking him and his family. :(

and wow, the jype has spoken. where were you before, jype?

but no, srsly, WHERE WERE YOU?!
if only they had the guts to do say this when the scandal first broke out. argh.

Jaebum is spending time by rethinking his actions.
wow they make it sounds like he's done a crime or something.

[theweathertoday.livejournal.com]

they should've done/said something like this when the shit FIRST hit the fan.

[sugardrizzle.livejournal.com]

... And in the first place, they didn't want him to appear in variety shows and stuff. :|

[rawthorne.livejournal.com]

That's the trouble with being vague, you give the inkling that he might come back, you leave the door open an inch and it's obvious they'll take a mile.

If JYPE had been clear from the start ("Jay isn't coming back for the next X number of months, after which period we will consider the facts once more") then fans would've quietened down and the media would've left him alone. But no, because this, at least, keeps everyone talking about 2PM.

[miyavi-type.livejournal.com]

That's what happens when you are a celebrity. No one should be surprised but they always manage to be. Idiots.

[r-hr-maniac.livejournal.com]

A bit late, but yeah. ...I have nothing else to say. :/
