Me too. I go back and forth. The whole week was sad. I wish the boys would come out and just ask Jay to come back. He is their friend and was a good leader....he took them to #1...they should speak up now and make JYP change his mind. I really do want the 7 to be together. Not 6.
same here. I am still hoping that he will change his mind OR this is a marketing plan for 2PM. Rain is supposed to debut a new boy band in Oct - head to head with 2PM's new album. Maybe JYP is going to do stick to 6 and if they are loosing to Rain's boys or not selling songs, he will bring Jay back. Most people have forgiven Jay and understand him.... why not JYP!!!!! I am hoping that he will support Jay when he is ready to return as he stated. And I hope Jay return soon.
It wasn't really JYP's decision, I thought it was, but he respected Jay's decision and let him go, Jay had to do what was best for himself.
It's kinda weird that Rain was from JYPE, but broke free and is making his own boy group...that go up against 2PM...it's going to be interesting...but I have to wonder how things will all pan out without Jay.
BUT I don't think it's the best for Jay. It's like running away. He should go back to Korea, have a press conference, face the nation and the fans (and antis too) and move forward. I think he really need to do that for himself so he can make peace with it.
If you've seen all the shows, or interviews, you'd see that in spite of the confidence Jay shows on stage, he is very very insecure. He's very hard on himself, expecting to do things perfectly, and he doesn't think too highly of himself. He's the kind of person who can see the best in others, except in himself...and I know that personality trait all too well.
The only reason why he chose to leave was because he couldn't face all the hatred towards him, I mean, if 300,000 people petitioned for me to die and wanted me to step down from my leadership position, I'd choose to leave too...actually, I'm the time to stay and spite people, but I understand what he did and why. He's out of his element, his biggest support is his family and they're millions of miles away...
I mean, it took a lot for him to perform his last performance with all that stuff on his mind, you saw how unorganized the guys were, right? I truly felt that last performance with Jay wasn't like a usual 2PM perfomance. It seemed like they were all distracted by what was going on with Jay that it came out really messy, and not like performances that would normally blow us away.
His selfless deed was leaving the group so he wouldn't bring the rest of the guys down, but that's why he feels so embarassed, like he wasn't strong enough...and I don't think he's a coward at all...I think he did what was best for him and the others, and I commend him for that. He wanted to leave, and if he returned, he'd be stronger, and a better person for the guys...that's what he said.
I get what you're saying, but if Jay were to ever return to confront those haters, he has to be a stronger man...and for the longest time, I could tell Jay wasn't the strongest in the group...He was the leader, but he was the most insecure and self-conscious one...he needs to believe in himself, in his talent, and have confidence before he can ever return. I don't think he needs to be a different, better person...I believe he already is that, but he just needs to believe in himself. I believe that those years he spent in Korea has a taught him a lot and helped change him, JYP said so himself...
He just needs to see what we see in him.
