After news of 2PM's Jaebeom's permanent departure shook the kpop world, it seems like the young man's close family members have something to say as well. A fan site that is currently protesting against leader Jaebeom's departure from beast idol group 2PM, Underground, stated on March 1st, "We will do good things for Jaebeom while being his 'right and left wings.'" The site wrote,

"On February 25th when JYPE irresponsibly and unfairly declared Jaebeom's permanent absence as a member of 2PM we said we would go against the company. By any means possible we wanted to return Jaebeom his repuatation that had become tarnished. However, for 6 months Jaebeom and his family members went through a hard time handling various hurtful rumors that had spread around. They no longer want Jaebeom to become an issue now, and are hoping that time will heal."

"I want to send my thanks to all the fans. Please continue to keep an interest and watch Jaebeom once in a while. Despite all kinds of rumors that could more than cause a person to despair, our Jaebeom has shown us his normal self and allowed us to not despair but have hope. I thank all the fans again and pray that their hurt feelings caused from this issue will heal quickly. They have done so much."
