Follow Up: Yookyung, 2PM


Article: 'A Pink withdrawal' Hong Yookyung responds to Joongang Uni special treatment admission controversy "It's not true"

Source: Mydaily via Nate

1. [+358, -16] She didn't withdraw from the group, she was kicked out.. ㅋ Her dad wrote on Twitter that she was ordered to leave the group.

2. [+246, -109] Money really does solve everything. With that ugly face when she can't even sing or dance, she debuted as an idol with money and now she's leaving through money too ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+200, -103] Then withdraw from Joongang Uni along with A Pink

4. [+85, -1] I heard she was kicked out, not voluntarily withdrawn. They wanted to add a new member so they kicked out Hong Yookyung, who doesn't have any popular, no singing talent, and ugly looks. What's funny is that Yookyung's father was the one that paid for A Pink's dorm. Cube really has balls kicking members out like this.

5. [+62, -2] She was kicked out, go read what Yookyung's father wrote on the internet. Her company is seriously ridiculous... The fact that they want to add a new member says it all ㅡㅡ

Article: Lying after manipulating the photos... 2PM embarrassed with photo lie caught at Tokyo Dome concert

Source: Kuki News via Nate

The article basically calls JYP liars because JYP explained that they had another company edit the 'colors' of the photo and didn't double check before releasing them as press photos. Journalist quotes other photo journalists saying that it's impossible for such an error to occur since editing the colors is a completely different process from cutting and pasting parts of the photo.

1. [+545, -46] They look so cheap, aren't they even embarrassed? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're already failed anyway, might as well retire at this rate ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+507, -32] This article is back ㅋㅋㅋ Their controversy was #1 article before but it seemed like JYP erased it and took it off the rankings ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ and now they release this explanation article super fast, they must've been really embarrassed

3. [+515, -46] No public recognition, bad public image... This is how 2PM landed all those CFs.. Lying about their stats, releasing false information ㅋㅋ Don't they feel any shame landing CFs in such a manner?

Article: 2PM reps "We apologize for the Tokyo Dome picture controversy... the number of audience members is real"

Source: Star News via Nate

1. [+268, -29] So basically, JYP: It's true the photos were photoshopped but the audience is the same ==== Are they joking ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+255, -33] What's funny about 2PM is that they're always delaying their album releases while making money off of concerts and CFs. They're still running around singing 10/10 like it's all they know how to sing. Awkward acrobatics that they've been practicing for years now and voice cracking galore in their singing... Or are they holding back because they know their talents aren't up to par with the new rookies these days?

3. [+194, -19] I seriously question what editing the colors of a picture has anything to do with cutting and pasting, you crazy b*tches ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+57, -9] Park Jin Young: Half audience, half photoshop

5. [+45, -6] 2PM could release a new song in Korea and it wouldn't matter because there's a bigger chance of it failing. Since they need to be making money anyway, they probably wanted to brag about how they pulled off a successful Tokyo Dome concert in Japan so they can snag CF companies and maintain their image as 'top idols'. Then they'll continue delaying their album for a year or two more while living off of their CFs... This is a marketing tactic agencies have been using for a while. I guess JYP was caught this time, though ㅎㅎㅎ
