Jay Park used to be 2PM's trump card

2PM was originally one of two pieces of Oneday along with brother group 2AM. To become a piece of Oneday, Jay Park and twelve trainees had to go through hard days on Mnet's survival show Hot Blood Men.

Big step backwards in career

With talent and support from Korea's leading entertainment company, Jay Park's career is expected to be stretched by the red carpet. But it is the incidents of "flying wind" related to the statement that have ruined the reputation and all the previous efforts of the young rapper.

Nearly a year since the debut, online evidence has been circulating showing Jay Park's unpatriotic attitude and disgust at Jay Park's Korean trainee life on MySpace since 2005.
