Aside from the fact that Kim Yuna won Gold, some boyband member officially called it quits, and Korea is now in a clusterfuck of emotions.
The guy:
The comments:
The Protests:
In short:
- Jay Park was born in Seattle. 2nd Generation Korean American.
- Won an audition. Went to Korea, trained for 4 years.
- Was part of 2PM under the Company JYP. The company that made http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=rain+colbert&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=, Wonder Girls etc.
- Hit number 1 for almost a full year. Gave hope that Asian Boyband Idols aren't pussy looking faggots like these guys
- Pretty much every female celebrity in Korea loved these guys because they weren't pussies, and they actually have talent. Includes SNSD etc.
- His myspace comments that were posted when he was a kid fresh into Korea surfaced.
- Shit hits fan. Career ruined in 4 days. 4 years to become who he is, ruined in 4 days.
- Apologizes
- During these 4 days people made petitions telling him to go kill himself.
- Leaves. Kpop world is sad and in shock.
- Same people who made the hate comments and petitions change thier mind.
- Widespread protests + Flashmobs
There's a shit ton of articles on this scandal. Just google Jay Park.
Why did I bother to post this?
I like a few of thier songs, the guy lives just past the border, and it's an interesting read.
Not only that. They're also redefining the way people see Asian Males.It's still a boyband, but they have fans all over the world. Including white girls.
I only answer to my username, my real name is Irrelevant!

somebodies a major fan...
so this is kind of like the Korean version of the Edison Controversy, except edison came out looking cool; since he banged every hot chinese star and hid in his parents house only because a gangster was going to kill him....
this Jay Park guy is hiding because he made fun of koreans and from a million teeny boppers who want to let him have his baby... gay
their country truly is in mourning, the Chinese team ended up with gold... a quote on the backlash
A furious South Korea stepped up its condemnation of Australian referee James Hewish on Thursday, a day after being disqualified and losing its Olympic women's 3,000-metre short-track relay title to China. Internet users and sports fans in South Korea seethed with anger Thursday with some of them calling for a boycott of Australian products, Korea's Yonhap news agency said. Hewish also caused controversy when he disqualifed South Korea's Kim Dong-Sung for "cross-tracking" in favour of American Apolo Anton Ohno at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games.

I can't believe haters actually dug out myspace comments from 05.
I thought he quit right when the whole "scandal" started.. I'm sad to see him go tho. 2pm is one of the few korean groups I like. Plus it doesn't hurt that he's cute ) Posted via RS Mobile
My AFC gave me an ABS CEL code of LOL while at WOT!

Jesus Christ, Koreans have such fucked up priorities. What a backwards country.
I'd go on more about this, but I have to go line up in the rain for six hours so I can watch (On a tv screen) the greatest Canadian Olympic hockey team ever play but IF THEY LOSE I WILL HATE THEM FOREVER!!!!!!!
Anyway, koreans are crazy.

Man, no offense, but you spent wayyyyy too long on that OP on stuff that maybe korean girls would care about. Anyway, sucks to be him, thrown out with a few anti-korean comments. As Chris Rock says.. "You gotta watch what you say, baby!"
who cares, a whitewash/westernized american kid in a korean skin trying to make some money from a country he does not have respect to. He deserves it. I bet he can barely speak korean properly.
Fuck him.
If he is so talented, start a new career in the States.
The difference of us canadians : you didnt get an olympic medal? thats ok, you will train harder next time.
Asian people: How dumb can you be to wipe out your own countrymen in a skate race. You are a disgrace. Now we send you to military forever.
