Jay Park’s fanclubs’ “warm” good deeds of hats for newborns and coal sharing

Jay Park’s fandom’s good deeds are a topic of conversation.

One of his fansites known as the “Park Jaebeom Band in Jay Effect” took part in a campaign to make knitted hats for newborn infants from November 1st of last year through January 31st. A total of 35 members participated in making 130 hats which were donated in Jay Park’s name to Save the Children. They provided proof of their work by uploading a video onto YouTube showing a relevant certificate and pictures of the goods they made.

Another of Park’s fansites called “Dear Jay” has overseen coal sharing events over the past year for the Bapsang Foundation (밥상공동체-연탄은행/Community Dining Table & Coal Bank). On the 12th, a total of 60 people contributed their warmth and kindness by volunteering to distribute coal in the Joong-gye-dong section of Noweongoo, Seoul.

Meanwhile, Jay Park has also been a focus of attention with his participation in the Co-Ed subgroup 5dolls’ music video released on the 11th.

Journalist Go Jae-yeol: “Jay Park’s apology was enough. Here is why.”

Go Jae-yeol (also known as @dogsul) is a well-known Korean journalist who writes for magazine SisaIN and contributes to a number of newspapers. He has written posts and articles on Jay as well as his fandom several times in the past year. We were requested to translate Mr. Go’s response to an apology posted by Jay on February 17th that was directed towards JYPE Entertainment and his former group 2PM. (A full translation of Jay’s post can be read at Soompi and allkpop.)

Mr. Go’s full response to Jay’s post:

I’ve decided to write about it after seeing many posts arguing over Jay Park’s apology letter.
(Although Jay Park’s fans won’t like the fact that this is being discussed…)

First of all, I’d like to make it clear that I have quite a considerable amount of knowledge on the ‘mistake’ Jay Park mentioned.
Although Jay Park described it as a ‘mistake,’ I would downgrade it as a ‘misfortune’
I assume it will be considered even more so in the American culture in which Jay Park has grown up.
(It is very far from what the general public thinks as a ‘mistake.’)
