Jay Park is asked about his current relationship with 2PM...again

[tofucakes.livejournal.com]

After placing #1 on his comeback performance, one can’t deny that Jay Park has made an epic comeback. It seems like Jay’s past controversy is now a vague memory that no one really cares about anymore. Even so, any mentioning of 2PM and Jay Park/Jaebum in the same sentence always sparks an interest in the public eye.

Well, Jay Park finally decided to address his current relationship with his former bandmates in a recent interview! Check it out below.

–

Reporter: “This may be an uncomfortable topic for you to discuss but I think it’s necessary for you to talk about 2PM.”

Jay Park: [Jokingly] “If it’s an uncomfortable subject, then you can just avoid it all together… [Smiling] I’m ready to talk about it now. I’m not uncomfortable, so go ahead and ask.”

Reporter: “I read an article that you don’t keep in touch with 2PM?”

Jay Park: [Calmly] “Yes, that’s true.”

Reporter: “If they don’t contact you first, will you take the first step and reach out to them?”

Jay Park: “If you look at it that way, couldn’t they contact me first too?”

Reporter: “If that’s the case, what is the biggest reason for you not contacting them first?”

Jay Park: “Just because.”

Reporter: [Confused] “Just because?”

Jay Park: “Just because. If I meet 2PM while recording a program, I think I’ll be very glad to see them again. Actually, during a recent recording of ‘Inkigayo,’ I saw 2AM’s Jo Kwon again and we cheerfully greeted each other with ‘Hey! It’s been a long time!’…I don’t know how 2PM feels about this but if I see them, I can gladly greet them.”

2PM is currently working hard promoting their activities in Japan. Because of this, Jay Park and 2PM haven’t had the chance to meet in person. Although the relationship between the boys have become distant over the past, they both have become the best at what they do.

I ain't even mad about this lack of contact.
do I want them to meet once 2pm gets back from japan? yes. do I think they'll ever get back together? hell no. he's moved on, 2pm's moved on, jype has moved on and doesn't want to cockblock jay from doing his thing.
he made his mistake, he went through his ~exile~, he's matured, and he truly seems happy with his life right now.

for a situation like this, it could've turned out a lot worse, js.

...I miss my original otp though negl :' (

Lol the 'truth' will never come out. companies always have shit happening in the background that we'll never know.

I miss them as 7 too. still, I'm happy for Jay. He deserves to do well.

[chaincombo.livejournal.com]

again and again and again and again.
loll sorry had to. but seriously they need to stop asking this question

[jaejunggim.livejournal.com]

again and again~~~
I was thinking the same xD and yes they need xC

[lyndaosaurus.livejournal.com]

Actually, during a recent recording of ‘Inkigayo,’ I saw 2AM’s Jo Kwon again and we cheerfully greeted each other with ‘Hey! It’s been a long time!'

This makes me really happy. ;______________;

IKR? ;_____; ♥

[devilstay.livejournal.com]

Just here to say I feel you on the original OTP thing op. Hanchul...I miss it sfm, their friendship and everything that went with it.

Also, pleased to know that Kwon and Jay greeted each other, just like everyone, thought they would. :)

my Original OT7 T____T

[peachypie21.livejournal.com]

[theycallmeriz.livejournal.com]

tbf, he tried.
interviewer was pushing buttons.

[peachmacaroons.livejournal.com]

[kanghodong.livejournal.com]

lol mte

[gumdrop-showers.livejournal.com]

Those gifs. ;~; If Jay & the 2PM members will be able to interact in a friendly manner again, I think I just might die of happiness. The 2PM bromances were awesome. TaecJay all the way, man

[hazelxdream.livejournal.com]

+1

[miirae.livejournal.com]

he seems way better off doing his own thing, but it'd be great to eventually see them all be friends again.

fffuuu jay/wooyoung ;w;♥ i ship it.

let's expose wooyoung

[tofucakes.livejournal.com]

woobum will always have a place in my heart as my first 2pm ship lmao

sobs I swear he doted on him more than the other maknaes

[voleur.livejournal.com]

so basically i got this:
"why should i contact them first? they should contact me first. bitch."

didn't jay already make some effort/statement to talk to them before anyways? i could be wrong but w/e. maybe 2pm hasn't been making much effort so jay is like fuck that shit. i mean no offense but if anyone should contact anyone, it's 2pm who should contact jay since IDK JAY IS THE ONE WHO IS ALONE/HAD TO STRUGGLE THE MOST with what happened.

but w/e look at him now. ;)

[ayumikoshiro.livejournal.com]

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if 2PM was advised not to contact/talk to Jay. It seems like he had a pretty good time catching up with Kwon but even he wasn't in contact with him before. Jay has more freedom than they do actually, so while I understand Jay's feelings he probably understands that JYP is doing the final string pulling at the end of the day.

[theycallmeriz.livejournal.com]

I don't mean to be a black cloud or anything but... Even if he does meet 2PM again, I doubt they'll be rekindling any OTPs anytime soon. They'll probably just greet each other in jondaemal and then awkwardly walk past each other in the corridor.

[voleur.livejournal.com]

ikr i can't help but think of how AWWWKK it'll be between them lol

[michurusan.livejournal.com]

AWWWW, when he saw jokwon again! :(

[aures.livejournal.com]

just let them, don't ask, we won't get the truth

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

he still sounds like a douche answering that question. albeit an honest one.

he's been honest with a lot of things, but why can't he just admit that as much as he wants to interact with them, there are outside forces that just won't allow it? he doesn't need to go on the defensive about it.

[kyungsan.livejournal.com]

well prob because if they were outside forces that won't allow it, he wouldn't be able to talk about them LOL

[hpn88.livejournal.com]

This situation will never not be awkward.

[count0nme.livejournal.com]

i guess since 2pm's management doesn't let them answer questions about jay, he's unsure of how they feel towards him? but he on the other hand always says that he's open to greeting them

[taecish.livejournal.com]

aww he spoke to kwon ^_^

[devilslover422.livejournal.com]

i see this whole interview as jay wanting taec to call his ass!!!!!

[inudela.livejournal.com]

what i don't get is why sidus hq won't just tell the reporters not to ask about it. It's not like that's not possible. plenty of companies do it. especially now that we've heard it time and time again.

[unreal.livejournal.com]

IA. It seems like sidus hq doesn't even care and just accepts every interview they can get.

[toshi830.livejournal.com]

Even I, a straight male, would approve of TaecJay reunions.

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

lol omg it's actually scary

[pivotandsway.livejournal.com]

they both have become the best at what they do
what is 2PM the best at jw? oh wait now I remember

[miszmba.livejournal.com]

Lol you're always hating. Chill.

[oraday54.livejournal.com]

Srsly. These are the only answers I wanna hear from now on. The reporters deserve nothing more and we fans deserve nothing less.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

tbh i miss 7PM and i wont give up my hopes in a special stage sometimes in the future where they will sing A&A again as 7. just for one performance.. and i could die happy.
but knowing JYPE this seems.. impossible.

but eventhough i was a die-hard 7PM supporter i have to admit that theyre both better off without each other. you can feel that 2PMs music wasnt really jays thing and that hes happier as a solo artist.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

p.s. i would really love to know what JYP thinks about jay and his success as a solo artist.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

I think they don't necessarily have to become as close as before but, they should at least become friends as artists.

Tbh ever since "Without U" and when Jay called Khun's rap fire I've really been hoping for something there...

[aishiteruyuto23.livejournal.com]

fans got mad reacted negatively at him for commenting on Khun's rap, though. :|

he also (sort of) stood up for 2PM during Dream Concert last year when they fan-chanted "Park Jaebeom" during 2PM's stage.
