2AM’s Jo Kwon, normally known for his silly antics and funny nature, recently tweeted a heartfelt message towards 2PM’s Junsu, whose father unexpectedly passed away last week from a heart attack. Unfortunately, it seems that the singer’s good intentions were misunderstood by Hottests.
Through his Twitter, Jo Kwon had tweeted, “My heart breaks for Junsu hyung whom I have known for a long time. Everyone please pray for Junsu and his father.” He continued, “As time passes, we often experience times of hardship. As I have always felt before, I have once again learned to be thankful. Please enjoy a great Lunar New Years with your parents. And also, be thankful for this moment.”
To begin with, there is nothing wrong with this message as Jo Kwon meant for everyone to enjoy whatever time you can spare with your parents as it is during times like these where you realize how much your parents mean to you. But, Hottests misinterpreted this message and criticized Jo Kwon for being “insensitive” to both Junsu and his father.
Jo Kwon responded in kind by writing, “It has just come to my attention that my Tweet has become a controversy among fans. I have reread my post to see how it could have become misinterpreted by Hottests. The thankfulness I’m referring to in my tweet was written with those precious people in mind, who have always been there whenever hard situations like this arise.”
How, and why, would I have put those words up with malicious intentions? I was surprised almost to the point of being scared by the harsh comments.”
Hottests’ actions have led Jo Kwon to delete his tweets, but indeed, he was baffled by how the misunderstanding could have arisen.
Perhaps Hottests were unhappy that Jo Kwon said to enjoy a great Lunar New Years with parents, seeing how Junsu could not do the same with his father. However, had they taken the whole message in its context as a whole, they would have seen that Jo Kwon meant no ill will.
Nonetheless, I read that and I shook my head in disbelief.
