Hottests Empty Their Wallets

[jaybomb.livejournal.com]

The 2PM Underground Fan Movement has delivered their bankbook project on the 28th of October to the JYP building.

The bank book project showed 11,000\ in the fans' bank accounts, money that is put aside to purchase 2PM's album. On the front read "This money will be spent on the album with 2PM's Leadja Park Jaebum's Return." On the back read "I <3 JAEBUM."

The underground movement stated that this is the 2nd boycott movement after the CD returns. "We did not physically collect money but this was rather a show of the fans' thoughts and another way to boycott. It's not only Park Jaebum but for a CD with all of the 7 members of 2PM."

The bank book project had participants from all age groups of middle, high school, and college students with 20~30 year old career folks. Student parents, 2AM fans, and international fans also took part by sending their checks in a separate clear case.

The first try had 1,816 checks, with the 2nd garnering 4,376 in the short 12 day trial, collecting over 6,192 total bank accounts. The total amount of "money" collected totals to 68,000, 000 won (5, 700 USD).

The underground movement has stated "What the fans want is not 2PM's leader Park Jaebum's return but for the company to take back Park Jaebum's withdrawal from the group and for the company to protect him, along with the assurance that Park Jaebum will return."

can... somebody explain this to me? I feel like a dumbass, but I don't really understand what the fuck is going on here.

[miyumiyuxxx.livejournal.com]

they're sending fake bankbooks with about $10 in each, saying that when jay comes came, they will have money to buy the album. the total money in these fake bankbooks is $68 000, so it's telling jyp that if he gets jay back, he's makin $68 000 more.

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

it is a way to prove that with Jay back fans will be happy and are willing to give JYPE $$$

[shopaholism.livejournal.com]

I must seriously be burnt out from my week of non-stop studying, but you've just confused me again. Why that amount of money for each member? I mean, only $10? That's a really fucking cheap album. I'm apparently not catching the symbolism here.

...I miss Jay too, but aigoo. Whatever, I know *I* will be buying this album. 7=1, yes, but 7-1 =/= 0.

[stinky259.livejournal.com]

that last bit♥

and I'm not even a 2pm fan.

Dear hottest: STOP WASTING YOUR MONEY ON WORTHLESS SHIT! You want to make a statement? Donate to a fucking charity in Jay's name!

Waste of paper! You are depleting the environment

[hospitalise.livejournal.com]

what is it gonna be next, hottest are wasting too much electricity blogging about jay? :l

[scream-yourpain.livejournal.com]

Boycotting... Ok.

[star-hime.livejournal.com]

I don't know what to say but I found this shit funny as hell for some reason.

[extraenchanted.livejournal.com]

HELLO THERE SHIGE.

"What the fans want is not 2PM's leader Park Jaebum's return but for the company to take back Park Jaebum's withdrawal from the group and for the company to protect him, along with the assurance that Park Jaebum will return."

Isn't that basically the same thing? Hottests, let Jay go. :(

[breut.livejournal.com]

err, I think it's a bad translation. The point of the boycott is to assure that he will be able to return if he so wishes -- basically, an open door policy.

D':

they obviously don't give a rats ass about the enviroment, I hope JYP atleast rescycles the books instead of throwing them out like he's probably going to do.

[bbgroove.livejournal.com]

... I don't see how this act proves all of them don't care about the environment. Truthfully other people have done much worse for things that they aren't even nearly as devoted to.

[bbgroove.livejournal.com]

I think this is clever. Showing JYPE how much they'll be missing out on (not a lot but still) not to mention I bet most people who end up getting the album will most likely download it illegally, so still no profit. Hurting JYPE's money revenue seems like the only way to get the point across to the higher ups (JYP himself excluded because he did show some effort)

[leadja.livejournal.com]

their on a role~

[familiarplaces.livejournal.com]

they're*
YAH GURL, I JUST WENT GRAMMAR POLICE ON YOU~ xD

[adieuxs.livejournal.com]

A+

i think its a nice way to make a statement.

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

You know how they had the "no cats" day on the internet? Is there anyway we can have a "No Hottest boycott" day?

[karatefeelings.livejournal.com]

Haha. With all that's going on make that a "No Hottest boycott" Week or Month.

I know they're sincere and mean well, but ugh, too much is too much?

[shikinluv.livejournal.com]

So long as they're not stalking Jae physically, I'm down for anything the Hottests are trying at the moment. They're making so much effort to get him back that it's hard not to be moved.

[star-hime.livejournal.com]

This.
I'm so tired of seeing comments where people are dissing the Hottest like they're the bad fanclub of k-pop. Not every Hottest is doing this also. It's not like the Hottest are getting on a plane to Seattle and going to Jay's house to kidnap him and bring his ass back to Korea. Now that will be crazy.

[shikinluv.livejournal.com]

He has a seven year contract with JYP apparently. I don't think the company just let him go off scot-free when he left Korea for Seattle so people are speculating that he might have to return sooner or later.

[jaybomb.livejournal.com]

lol I'm sorry but can I just say that recycling is sooooooooo not the point here.

I'm pretty green but I'm guessing this paper probably wasn't going anywhere useful anyway?

[x3eviie.livejournal.com]

LOL IA.

[remap.livejournal.com]

Student parents, 2AM fans, and international fans also took part by sending their checks in a separate clear case.

omg :'3♥

[pandamanic.livejournal.com]

this is so freaking sweet of them.
i love when the hottests do stuff like this.

[neptunepirate.livejournal.com]

I love this project. I think it's clever.

But I would think that because I'm Team Khottests and therefore crazy, but w/e.

[heyahala.livejournal.com]

Way to go, Hottests! <3

[pocketofskies.livejournal.com]

lol at anyone who is linking this to recycling paper

i think this is super qt idec they aren't bothering jay or anything so i'm up for it, dnw jay to be forgotten. I STILL BELIEVE HE WILL COME BACK OK

[shopaholism.livejournal.com]

look.

LOOK.

LOOK HERE, YOU.

FIRST IT WAS THOSE PAPER ROSES, NOW IT'S FAKE BOOKS. THIS SHIT CANNOT STAND. FORGET ABOUT CASSIES PRINTING OUT 203984034875934805 PAGES OF TVXQ SCHEDULES, THAT SHIT WAS SERIOUS. THIS, THOUGH, IS JUST A BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THE RAINFOREST. THINK OF THE FUTURE. THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

[hospitalise.livejournal.com]

he left because of the shower of hatred from antis. hottest are doing their best to show him that the majority loves and supports him. what's bad about that? :\
