JYP Entertainment’s Park Jinyoung was asked to once again reflect on the controversy over ex-2PM member Jay Park’s withdrawal on the most recent set of KBS 2TV’s ‘Win Win.’
When asked, “Can you tell us just briefly about 2PM Jaebum’s withdrawal?,” by MC Kim Seungwoo, JYP thought carefully and then replied cautiously, “What more can I say after the company has released its position [on the issue]? I can’t say any more because it’s a story in which the future of young people with potential is too entangled with….”
Park Jinyoung continued, stating, “The most regrettable thing that can happen is when [artists] make a mistake when they’re young and then they debut early, so those common mistakes that they might make explode into a large public matter. Because it explodes when they can make money and give strong performances at such a young age, it is all the more unacceptable.”
The producer explained that he was unable to do anything about the matter because it had grown so large. “If [the issue is] small, I can cover it, but it grew too big so I had to choose between protecting this child and deceiving the public. If I cover it up somewhat, I can protect this child and not deceive the public at the same time, but the situation grew bigger and it seems that this guy will be hurt if I reveal [what’s going on] when the public says ‘reveal the truth.’ That part is the hardest.”
Jay Park’s contract with the South Korean management company was officially terminated in late February 2010 following several months of controversy and conflict.
