The fans of boy band 2PM are taking action to bring back the group's former leader Park Jaebeom to Korea, according to the group's online fan cafe HOTTEST on Friday.
The fans are reportedly planning to hold a big demonstration on January 31 throughout the country, demanding that agency JYP Entertainment (JYPE) withdraw Jaebeom's resignation from the group.
His comments -- including "I hate Korea" -- created an uproar around the country, particularly among Internet users, leading to his decision to leave the group and return to his hometown Seattle.
2PM fans had immediately protested against the singer's departure and called for his reinstatement into the group. The group's producer Park Jin-young, however, asked that fans and the media give the young singer time and space, although he had hinted even back then that Jaebeom may resume his singing career.
The demonstration will kick off on Sunday at 2 p.m.
