The brutal controversy surrounding Jaebum's entry

Really, enough is enough. Everyone has different thoughts and opinions are bound to clash which is definitely understandable. However, the situation has gotten to such a severe point that all I have left to say is enough is enough. On the 18th, Jaebum entered Korea through Incheon Airport and immediately became swept in another controversy. As 2PM's former leader, Park Jaebum left for America last year and returned for the first time in nine months for a Hollywood film. Reports regarding his return spread across the internet and amongst netizens and over 1,000 fans showed up at the airport.

The fact that 1,000 fans showed up shows that there are still many Korean fans that support Park Jaebum. At least, at the scene of course. But when you come online, the situation takes a drastic 180 degree turn. Countless fans and journalists may have showed up at the scene for this top star but on the internet, Park Jaebum is being treated as the "nation's enemy." It's as if Park Jaebum dropped the worth of Korea or harmed some national interest. He's being treated as something worse than a murderer, quite literally as the "nation's enemy."

The reasons for such treatment is because, according to a netizen, "He wrote that he hated Korea and belittled us. After the public began showing a hostile response, he left for America without any sort of clarification. Now that the country is noisy with the world cup and Tablo's degree fabrication controversy, he returns to the country as if he can avoid the public's criticisms. " The statement isn't completely wrong. As 2PM's former leader and member, Park Jaebum has yet to properly clarify anything understandable for his fans and it isn't an exaggerated opinion to state that the date of the 18th was purposely chosen amidst a time of controversy to lessen the attention.

But looking at the issue from the outside, these assertions can only be seen as wild speculations. It's hard to understand how anyone can still criticize him for 'belittling Korea' nearly a year after the first article regarding it was released. Still, netizens leave biting comments such as, "It hasn't even been that long since he said he hated Korea (and he's already coming back?)" If such assertions were true, then yes, he deserves the treatment of the "nation's enemy "but to me, it is nothing more than netizens constantly using the same attack when the words were merely written during his trainee days when he first arrived in Korea. Where have the netizens gone that always demanded 'fresh ideas' from variety programs?

The second reason is also hard to understand. Of course, when one has a certain opinion of someone, it's hard to look at them in a positive light and their every move suddenly becomes something negative. Regardless, the second reason is a considerably more disgusting type of 'wild speculation.' It's nothing more than slamming in a piece of a puzzle and hoping it fits. Park Jaebum's return was scheduled as the middle of June since a long time ago, as reported by the press. Park Jaebum had always planned to enter Korea at such and such date for Hype Nation and scheduled accordingly. This just proves that the netizens constantly pushing their opinion of Jaebum entering Korea at a controversial time to avoid criticism is wrong.

Isn't it truly too brutal? With Park Jaebum preparing to enter into Hype Nation, there is no reason for such hatred to be directed his way. Criticism is healthy if it helps lead the celebrity down a better path. But criticism is only healthy to a certain extent. What's going on in the internet right now against Park Jaebum are nothing more than personal attacks and merciless hatred. These things can never be called criticisms. These are nothing more than just 'hate.' Park Jaebum is being so cruelly attacked with logic that doesn't even make sense. Such actions by the netizens only further aids in making Korea become 'Anti Korea,' 'The nation where rumors overpower, Korea,' and 'The nation of # 1 hate, Korea.'
