from 4 years ago were able to do some good rather than only bad.
We should bombard the Korean media, but rather than just with letters
about how we want Jay back, we should send letters about how 2PM and K-pop
helped us gain an appreciation for Korean culture. Things were strange
and unfamiliar for Jay at first and the language barrier was a major
issue, but he grew to love Korea and Korean people.
We can identify with that. When you first become a K-pop fan you have no
idea what anyone's saying, and you don't understand the significance of
hyung, dongsaeng, and maknae. But once you spend some time with your
favorite group, you begin to see that everything you learn about Korean
culture changes the way you look at the way they interact. It helps you
understand the dynamic between the members and how they interact with
others.
An interest in K-pop also leads to an interest in the Korean language.
Once you learn saranghaeyo, you're hooked.
Many of us English speaking fans immediately latch onto members like Jay
and it draws us in further. K-pop is stronger with foreign members and we
need people like Jay to help promote Korea's positive aspects to the rest
of the world.
My point is, we should encourage everyone to send their own personal story
about how K-pop helped them learn about Korea. We can show them that his
culture shock didn't discourage us. We can ask to hear what Jay grew to
love about Korea so we can make a point to appreciate it too.
If we are going to contact the media, we have to do it fast because JYPE
keeps making decisions.
Here is the contact info I was able to find to the three big networks and their American counterparts.
