The New York offices of JYPE have been covered in a rainbow of Post-It notes, but the sticker extravaganza was not to vandalize or to deface the building. The Post-its were left by fans of the boy band 2pm’s ex-lead-member Jay Park. Jay resigned on September 7th of this year when he was the focus of a humiliating story in the media. 5 years ago Jay had made negative general statements towards Korean people on his personal Myspace. During that time the singer was JYPE trainee and a teenager. Instead of a massive outpouring of understanding a great percentage of the Korean public felt he was out of line and quickly called for him to quit the very succesful boy band.
The fans who are mostly female understood right away that it is part of life that human beings can and will get frustrated by others. It is these very fans of the super talented star that rallied together and planned various events to protest Jays departure and to ask him to return. The Post-It note event was planned and asked fellow fans to write messages for Jay in support and left on the building for the media to focus on.
Again these localized groups are coming together as a whole on Oct 27th, 28th and 29th to organize another event of Post-It messages for Jay and More.
