WooYoung speaks up about Jaebum's racism

It appears people are forgiving but not quite forgetting the Jaebum Myspace incident. This particular heated debate seems to be popular with irate netizens and fan’s. To recap anyone unaware of the situation/living in a cave, netizens have recently dug out some caps of 2pm’s Jaebum writing some not so great things about Korea e.g. ‘korea is whack they think i’m the illest rapper when i suck nuts at rap’ and ‘korea is gay’.

Wooyoung has taken to his blog to leave an optimistic message towards his fans and a sign of loyalty to his leader. The title was ‘Hottests… Thank you’ then went on, “We 2PM is not 7 members, we are one.”

The rest is after the cut!

I think people should leave him alone by now, it’s obvious it was an immature mistake and he already apologized which comes across sincere. With some people it seems they just want an excuse to be angry and wont believe he’s changed. I mean what do you expect he has been living in America basically his entire life and to suddenly end up in a different place with a different culture. It’s not fair to say ‘but you’re Korean’, it’s like yeah by blood but the dude wasn’t living there or familiar/accustomed to the formality and differences between the States and his ‘homeland’, he had no friends and was homesick (yeah just because you are doesn’t mean you have the right to say those things, but he those feelings do fuel it and make you write rash things). At the age he wrote those statements he was probably a bit bratty and used to front all this gangster talk, but he’s obviously lost this and has grown up since, so if anything he’d be embarrassed looking back on it. What also annoys me is some people are saying ‘look this is what happens when you go to places like america’. Err talk about hypocracy! Some of my aunties used to be offended when I was 12 years old and would say negative things about China, but they would say things like ‘everyone in England is fat’ or ‘people there dont study hard enough’. But I wasn’t offended, I would say dude you’re exaggerating and stereotyping but after all stereotyping is based on some kind of truth (whether it be warped or not).
