Has JYP really given up on Jaebum?

Opinions have spread since JYP announced he will continue 2PM’s promotions as six members. Whilst this is happening, some have captured signs of JYP trying to protect Jaebum, so they are now interested in what will become of Jaebum’s future.

SportsDongA found out that eventually Jaebum returned to his family in Seattle, USA but that his contract with JYP is still valid. If he had completely given up on Jaebum, he would have terminated the contract, but JYP Entertainment is still keeping it.

Also JYP has not antagonized the fans who requested that Jaebum withdraw his resignation, but are taking down post-its on the JYP office in ChungDamDong, Seoul for safekeeping.

One can also tell from the text he posted over two instances on the 10th and the 17th that he wants to carry Jaebum through this. He emphasized the fact that time for reflection was needed in his first post on the 10th, saying “Right now the important thing is not 2PM’s Park Jaebum, it is young Jaebum. I think it’s very important for him to look back on himself and reflect.” Reflection, or ‘time-out’ is something that happens before coming back, so if there were no plans for him to return, the word is meaningless.

In the second post, made on the 17th, JYP revealed his intentions many times over saying that he will ‘give him time, give him opportunities. ’ He emphasized the fact that this could actually be an opportunity for him to return better and stronger, “There are some people who worry that the dream he’s prepared for the last 4 years has just collapsed, but the skill he crafted and polished in those 4 years still remain with him. If he gets the chance to mature as a person, he can fly higher and bigger.”

Also he stated “I think it’s an overreaction to request an immediate withdrawal of his resignation. I think it is my duty to respect his opinion to take some time offstage for himself, and do my best to help him if he says he wants to return to the stage later. I think that it would simply be better for everyone to support and encourage him then” therefore showing intentions to help Jaebum’s return after time have passed and the situation has matured.

As of now JYP has not released an official statement about these points.
