As a celebrity, as an artist, many are wondering who will receive the most love from their fans and who will receive the most public support.

-> The public is on Jaebum's side, however...

Any internet post regarding 2PM is filled with hateful and criticizing replies. Netizens have belittled them about their skills and have even used the statements of the conference against them.

However, the power of 2PM was strong. From the 19th through the 26th, 2PM recorded at #1 in album sales on Hanteo's chart and took first place on M Countdown within a week of their comeback, taking down Rain and Hyori.

-> Stop hating our oppas! 'The rivalry between fans'

In figure skating, there's Asado Mao and Kim Yeona, and in the MC'ing world, there's Yoo Jaesuk and Kang Hodong. Within fandoms, it's 2PM fans rivaling against Jaebum fans.

Jaebum's representative fansites 'Underground' and 'Oneday Room' prohibits anyone from even writing the words '2PM' and 2PM fansites have also prohibited any discussions regarding Jaebum as they continue to support a 'six member' 2PM.

Jaebum fans have even targeted 2PM's new album's title track, 'Without U,' by stating that the lyrics are in reference to Jaebum. The lyrics tell a story of a man that has been betrayed but manages to come out on top. JYPE drew a line regarding this issue and stated, "It has nothing to do with Jaebum." However, fans have not backed down from the claim that it is 'using Jaebum's name for noise marketing.'


The influence of 2PM and Jaebum is strong, almost to the point where there is nothing left to talk about in the Korean music world without them. There's a saying that you will grow as large as you have been in pain. 2PM has been withstanding a hard situation where everybody is ignoring them but continues to work hard to reform their image. Jaebum himself is also going down a successful path with a movie and album in the works. All eyes are on them as everyone watches to see whether 2PM and Jaebum will be able to pull in the attention and support of the public and grow even bigger.

The public may have turned their backs on 2PM but Hottests are showing off their unending, unwavering support in order for 2PM to show their full potential.

While the album did place #1 in album sales for the time period mentioned, the article failed to point out that 2PM is not even currently ranked in the top 5 of Hanteo's overall music chart.


2PM's album sales were also previously reported as being less than what is implied in this article. 2PM sold 2.6k albums on their first day of release, and have currently sold a little over 14k. Idol groups with fandoms as big as 2PM sell well over 20k on their first day of release alone, with SHINee selling 10k on their first night. 2AM also sold 6k on their first night.

Mnet also stated that 2PM won due to online votes once suspicions arose regarding their win.

As posted here, in the recent One Day music rankings, 2PM is barely doing an 'all kill' in any of the charts like this article implies.

JYPE has come out and publicly announced that the lyrics to 'Without U' are, in fact, in reference to Jaebum and the controversy surrounding their fans.
