*NOTE: I warn you that this is an OPINION BASED ARTICLE. To those who hate 2pm, or hate those who like 2pm now can you please just walk away and not read this article, I do not like to hear any comments saying that I am biased on this article cause basically, I will say what I want to say and I will try to be not biased as much as possible, but this article is based ON MY POINT OF VIEW, MY OPINION, MY PERCEPTION, MY ARTICLE.


------------------------------ARTICLE START!-----------------------------------------




2pm's comeback has been one of the most controversial comebacks this year, why? because this is their first album and appearance where Park Jaebeom is officially not included because he has taken his final decision to stay in United States and stop his activities being part of 2pm.

It would be an understatement to say 2pm was hated by their fans.

THEY WERE DESPISED.

Eversince their comeback, they showed that they are going to fight all these mayhem being thrown at them.

They have thrown the beastly image and showed a more mature image, and it clearly showed in their songs the pain they have went through these past few months.

Fans worldwide has expressed their hate on 2pm or should I say what they call "6pm" ever since Park Jaebeom left 2pm.

Despite Park Jaebeom's attempts to stop these with his comments encouraging 2pm on the release of 2pm's Without U music video, still fans kept coming and telling Park Jaebom to "STOP IT" and to "LOVE AND RESPECT" when basically, in this situation that phrase has already lost it's sense.

Fans were hurt. Fans felt betrayed. Fans got depressed.

Typically normal for fans to feel this way when their favorite group experiences member problems and issue's.

But why is that even after both side's has made their statements and has clearly moved on.... These fans or should I say "fans turned to haters" hasn't moved on till now?

On their comeback. 2pm showed a lot of mature songs in their album.



Dont Stop Cant Stop showed a lot of fighting spirit to 2pm, especially with it's lyrics. It's very clear that 2pm are not going down without a fight from all the hate these haters are throwing to them. What struck most is that the song clearly centered about the haters and saying they are not going to go down with their hateful comments and gestures towards 2pm.



On their comeback, it was pretty tense, the odds looked like it was against them.

Taecyeon was being criticized a lot for his appearances in Family Outing 2 saying that he is one of the reason's why the show is receiving low viewer rating, especially with his rumored "love line" with SNSD member yoona who is also a member of the show.

Wooyoung was almost diagnosed with vocal nodules from his sever soar throat and had to lip sync during performances in order not to strain his vocal chords to worsen the situation. Still, he performed together with 2pm.



After a few weeks, Junsu was reported to be rushed to the hospital due to severe knee pain due to intense practicing for their comeback. He had to wear a cast on his right leg for three weeks to treat the injury. Still he performed together with 2pm.


If this was another idol group. With 2 members not a their best, the group would have automatically stopped activities and waited for the members to be cured until continuing their broadcast activities.






On their guerrilla concert, Taecyeon cried during the show because he got too emotional and couldn't hold back his tears anymore. It felt sincere enough, I havent seen Taecyeon cry on stage before and this has got to be the first.


I really admire 2pm's fighting spirit, that they are breaking the odds and still stands strong on stage. It's been really tough for this guys. Being thrown hateful comments and not being able to defend themselves.

After all the hate they received, it's about time they get saved right? basing from the strong fan chants and album sales 2pm has been receiving, I have one thing to say: 2PM STILL HAS FANS AND THEY ARE NOT DYING OUT OF FANS!

And Isn't quite ironic? That when the "fans" that turned into haters has turned their back on them, the loyal fan's dedication for the boys only strengthens. This is the perfect test to see who are those who are LOYAL fans of 2pm. Who can be truly called "HOTTEST" that has been with 2pm through thick and thin, hot and cold, scandal and issues and in victories and achievements.

My message to the haters is that, It would be about time for you to move on. Just like what you say, "LOVE AND RESPECT" I just hope that you really grasp the real meaning of that phrase when you say it.
