These are the men I grew to love, and these are the men I will continue to love. Amidst all of the rumors and speculations, fact versus fiction, fans versus anti-fans...one thing I want to clarify: I may be confused at times with certain issues, because I am a person who always sees the good in people, and that is sometimes a little naive of me...but I believe that when I put my faith in someone, that person has to be worth it, and I will remain loyal until the very end.
2PM was the first group that introduced me to the Kpop world, and I grew to love each and every one of them, as individuals, but also as 2PM. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't even be fans of other Kpop groups, I wouldn't have known that they existed, and I take great pride in the Americans who have succeeded as 2PM members. The thing I loved about 2PM, even One Day as a whole was because of their close brotherly bond during their training years. They may have had a lot of hardships, together, as a group, but I believe them to be the same boys that woke up early in the morning to do physical and vocal exercises...that cried when someone was getting eliminated, and rejoiced when they were finally able to debut and be as successful as they are now. I believe they are closely bonded, and they treat each other with respect. On top of that, I believe they honor and respect their fans, because they are the kind of idols who know they wouldn't get to where they are, in large part because of the support from their fans...and as their fans, we should always support them. I can't stress that enough...When you commit yourself to something, you should commit all the way, 100%, with no doubts.
Maybe I'm being too serious, but I believe being a fan of an artist is like being in a relationship with them. You have to give them constant support, love, trust, and everything they would need to help them move forward in life. You're not supposed to be obsessively possessive of them, because they are not yours alone, and they have a life that they need to live in spite of all of us...but it is like a relationship because they are human beings who make mistakes. Like a relationship, you accept your partner exactly as who they are, their flaws included, and you just stand beside them to let them know that who they are is okay with you.
It is sad that even though there's so much grief going around with 2PM, that people are causing so much more pain than necessary. Maybe I added a little fuel to the flame, but I wanted people to know what was out there. Why hide the truth or lies? We should be able to be objective and choose to believe whatever we want to believe. I have always given people the benefit of the doubt, and I will continue to do so for 2PM. I honestly don't believe these guys are as bad as people claim they are, and I believe that who they are on-screen are their genuine selves.
They may just be an idol group, but I'm serious about my devotion towards them. I feel that in this time, they need our support more than ever...all 7 of them. In my eyes, Jay is and will always be 2PM's fearless leader that I will always love and support...and it will be hard because there's just 6 of them, but it comes natural to me to support 2PM, so I will.
