JYP Entertainment founder Park Jin Young seems to be feuding with members of GOT7 and AOMG's Jay Park.
According to a report by Koreaboo, fans are speculating that there is drama brewing behind reports of Yugyeom's rumored plans to sign with AOMG when his exclusive contract expires with JYP at the end of the month.
GOT7 members are currently in talks to renew their contracts with the JYP.
It was earlier reported by SPOTV that Yugyeom met with several agencies and was leaning towards Jay Park's AOMG, a label that specializes in managing hip hop artists like LOCO, Gray, Simon Dominic, and soloist Lee Hi.
While nothing has been confirmed yet, fans recalled Jay Park's history with JYP. Jay Park was a former member of 2PM who became the subject of controversy when he talked about Korea on his MySpace account. Unfortunately, some wrong translations of his post led to public outrage. The issue was eventually cleared up, but Jay Park opted to leave 2PM to protect his co-members from the backlash.
In 2010, JYP announced that Jay Park's contract was terminated for an incident that took place in 2009. It was not explained if it was related to the MySpace incident, but fans were displeased over the label's move.
Now that Yugyeom may leave JYP for AOMG, fans believe that a feud may spark between Park Jin Young and Jay Park.
In related news, Park Jin Young may already be on bad terms with several GOT7 members despite the statement that the talks for contract renewal are underway, Kpopstarz reported.
Fans noticed that the JYP founder recently unfollowed GOT7's Bambam, Mark, and Jinyoung on social media. He also unfollowed GOT7's official Instagram account, which led to speculations that the label is preparing to disband the group.
As fans started to share their discovery, it reached Bambam. He simply replied with a meme of a person shrugging. Aghases believe this was the Thai singer's way of saying he didn't care about JYP's latest move.
Bambam also started to delete old posts with JYP, adding fuel to speculations that the talks for contract renewal may not end positively.
Youngjae also unfollowed JYP and other JYP-related accounts on Instagram. He only follows his fellow members and the GOT7 official account now.
There are strong rumors of GOT7 disbandment recently because members have reportedly met with other labels for the possibility of leaving JYP. Jinyoung, who is currently active in the acting scene, reportedly met with BH Entertainment, an agency that specializes in managing actors like Lee Byung Hun, Jun Ji Hyun, and Han Hyo Joo, Soompi reported.
