Sidus HQ defends Jay Park against claims made by Park Jin Young

In response to the statements made earlier by JYP Entertainment’s Park Jin Young over former 2PM leader Park Jaebeom, SidusHQ officials have released an official statement on the afternoon of December 22nd.

The message reads:

“Title: SidusHQ – Official statement regarding Park Jin Young’s mention of Park Jaebeom

Hello, this is Park Jaebeom’s agency, SidusHQ.

We would like to make an official announcement regarding some of the statements Park Jin Young made on the December 21st episode of “Win Win.”

First of all, Park Jin Young’s statement was expressed in a way that implied pity.  He stated, “Should the truth be revealed, this friend will be hurt. We are not revealing it in order to protect him.” Such unconfirmed statements opens room for a variety of different speculations, and as Park Jaebeom’s agency, we can no longer look over the matter.

We at SidusHQ are curious about Park Jin Young’s intentions on creating another controversy with the nuance of ‘being hurt once revealed.’ Through “Win Win,” Park Jin Young stated that he “could not lie, or speak of the truth.” We would like to retort by asking why the truth cannot be disclosed. Under the pretext of protection, such irresponsible statements have only given pain to Park Jaebeom.

We are curious about the problem that ‘will bring harm to him once revealed‘. We are hoping that JYP Entertainment will confidently reveal the problem that ‘cannot be revealed in case it brings harm to Park Jaebeom.‘

By not speaking the utter truth and merely beating around the bush, we cannot help but wonder whether it is Park Jin Young himself that is ‘deceiving’ the public by furthering the public’s frustration and curiosity on the issue.

Like we stated this past July after we signed on Park Jaebeom, Park Jaebeom is a ‘thoughtful young man with a large heart. A young friend that has ran without rest to achieve his dreams.’

We hope that Park Jaebeom will no longer be wounded by his former company and will be allowed to actively promote himself. We would like to express our gratitude towards the people that continue to support and regard him with warm eyes. We greet you once more with a better image.

Thank you.“

JYP Entertainment will take full legal responsibility for JYP's statements

JYP's side has announced that they will take all legal responsibility about the statements made about Park Jaebum's withdrawal.

JYP(e) passed on their point of view about singer/JYP representative Park Jin Young appearing on KBS 2TV's 'Win Win' that aired on the 21st and mentioning Park Jaebum's 2PM withdrawal, "We think regretfully of the way the controversy about this 2PM member change has occurred again. However, we think that it is inappropriate to reveal detailed information about the 2PM member change at this time. However, if there is any lie that twists the truth of this event, we reveal that we will take any legal or ethical responsibility".

This means that they will not explain further about sidusHQ's official request "Reveal the truth of Park Jaebum", but they haven't twisted the truth, either.
