EPTWhoever dug through his Myspace to 4 years back was looking REALLY HARD to find something.
Jessica Ho insulted BoA on myspace I believe, and that pretty much ended her career due to people complaining and bitching.

Thanks for the explanation about Jessica Ho and Brian Joo, but they really don't look like big deals to me. Brian's remarks seem excusable to me, especially since it wasn't his intention. Jessica Ho should have been more careful, but it's pretty stupid for people to go back and check old messages that they wrote -_- Also, it seems that a lot of Koreans dislike black people. When I was in Korea, my aunts used to talk about how black people always start fights, hitting people in the street and stuff. I don't want to sound like a racist, but that seems to be how it is. Whenever I'm on a bus or a train in New York or Boston, the rowdiest kids tend to be black teenagers and a lot of the time, they are talking about fighting or something. | ||

I meant as in the media taking it seriously. Since Tae Yeon's remark wasn't "serious" they didn't care. Once Jessica and Jay make remarks about Korea or a Korean artists, every site bites them in the ass. | ||

Judging and bashing them based solely on our (US) standards and customs doesn't really make sense since we don't know how they grew up or view things that we've become sensitized or desensitized to. Random Kara ramen CF since I know there are a lot of ramen fans: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oGQZpNMGvQ That's the mister dance! And yeah, many countries tend to be racially homogeneous while America was built on immigration; most people's ancestors came to America less than 400 years ago and people are still arriving daily. | ||

I'm sad over this scandal because 2pm are my favorite band and Jaebeom happens to be my favorite member (aside from Chanseung after meeting him and scaring the crap out him with my fangirlness.) - it's been reported he's not even eating meals (although if this is true we'll never know.) I hope they can just come out of this and carry on performing/bring the new album soon. JYP should have just said FU to the netizens and carried on public appearances, but sadly that's how things work over here.... Also this week it's been reported netizens are annoyed because JYP spelt ramyeon as 'ramen' (Japanese style) in hangul. -_- Someone needs to remind me why I live here sometimes - when issues like *that* are so deathly important to a cross-section of the population. | ||

Like in the US most non African American can't use the N word or else your gonna get mowed down. Also stuff like this http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=99095 And I think Americans are more homophobic than compared to other countries / culture. | ||

Either his account has hacked or it's true. No statement from JYP right now. http://www.newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=200909081238361002 translation needed "Hello, I'm 2PM's Jaebeom. I'm sorry for giving you my last greeting through this letter. I think it will be hard for me to see you all on stage because of my sorry heart. I'm really sorry to everyone, and I'm even more sorry to the fans who have shown me love. From today, I will leave 2PM. 2PM boys, I'm really sorry to the boys and I'm sorry I couldn't be strong as a leader and a hyung and have to leave like this. However, I hope you will be more cool and charming. Again, I'm sorry. Jaebeom" | ||

Korean artists have come back from sex tapes before... Edit: I have my suspicions he has more bigger reasons as to why he's quitting and using the netizens issue as a cover | ||
