The group has been making the headlines again with their new endorsement, rumors of Jaebeom's return, the airing of the Infinity Challenge episode recorded with Jaebeom before the MySpace controversy, and of course, the anticipated KBS's 'Into Sunday Night' news segment revealing Jaebeom's life after 2PM.
However many viewers were perturbed with the filming that arguably invaded Jaebeom's privacy, especially since he seemed to have been unaware of filming. As the episode showed, the producers of the show actually flew to Seattle and found his house, not through scheduling, but by asking shop owners and other locals for his residential address.
But it doesn't end there, as the show also interviews Jaebeom's little brother and his father. But later in their journey, they finally find the man himself at a recreation centre. Many netizens and Hottests were upset and furious at the producers for invading his home, family and everyday life in Seattle.
On the KBS website discussion board, netizens have written more than 2000 posts criticizing the producers, calling for an apology from KBS and to end the programme 'Into Sunday Night'. Looks like even netizens have their limits about the extremes, aggression and ethics of stalking celebrities.
Heres the clip from Jaebeom's cut in 'Into Sunday Night' (with English subs)
It is nice to see fans from other fan clubs to support each other in this year’s event. Let’s just hope the friendly atmosphere continues in future events.
The trouble that had started from Jae-Bum's MySpace comments are still continuing solidly. This isn't the first time that Hottests have implemented boycotting as a protest to a 6-member 2PM.
