"Mr. Park Jihao, hello, I am a reporter from KBS. I would like to ask you, regarding the statement made by 2PM member Park Jaebeom on Twitter, where he claims that your original song 'Mr.' is a copy of his, what is your response?"

The first question was posed by a KBS reporter, indeed the oldest public broadcasting station in the Republic of Korea, even MBC and SBS would have to yield. However, Park Jihao's expression left all the reporters in the room puzzled.

Park Jihao looked at the KBS reporter with a blank expression and said, "I'm sorry, but to my knowledge, no one has ever said that my song is a copy. Moreover, I have only met Park Jaebeom once, and we are not even friends. How could I possibly copy his song? I think there must be a misunderstanding."

After Park Jihao finished speaking, the KBS reporter immediately smiled and said, "That's impossible, Mr. Park Jihao. We actually have sufficient evidence. Last night, Park Jaebeom posted on Twitter, clearly stating that plagiarism is a shameful act, and that the shameless person will be punished. This is a real fact, and you cannot deny it."

After hearing the KBS reporter's words, Park Jihao suddenly laughed and said, "I am not denying anything. However, from the tweet you mentioned, Park Jaebeom did not specifically name my song as the one being plagiarized."

"But there is a photo of Kara's 'Mr.' below. What do you have to say about that?" the KBS reporter immediately asked anxiously.

"Ha!" Park Jihao suddenly laughed and said, "Reporter, may I ask you, do you know the definition of news?"

Caught off guard by Park Jihao's sudden question, the KBS reporter replied, "Yes, it is the truthful recording of important facts that the public wants to know but do not yet know."

Park Jihao immediately smiled and said, "That's right, it is about truthful recording. However, what you just said was not a truthful recording, but rather your own imagination and speculation injected into the event. From start to finish, Mr. Park Jaebeom's tweet did not mention me at all. Everyone assumed that the plagiarizer he was referring to was me based on the photo of Kara. From this, it is clear that all the journalists present have forgotten the definition of news and the importance of truthful recording, as everyone has injected their own subjective thoughts into the news."

"I want to tell all the journalists present again that news has six essential elements: time, place, people, cause, process, and result. However, you have not found the person, Mr. Park Jaebeom, to clarify the cause of the event. Instead, you made assumptions and immediately demanded a response from me. I believe this is unfair to me. If Mr. Park Jaebeom directly states in the media that my 'Mr.' is a copy of his song or if he writes a statement naming my 'Mr.' as a copy of his, I will immediately report the matter to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Department. I believe the police will give me a fair and clear verdict."

As Park Jihao's words and questions echoed, the media present were stunned, and they all thought to themselves, "Seoul National University is indeed Seoul National University. With that charming smile, he spoke in a way that left all of us professional journalists speechless, unable to find any point to counter!"

Park Jihao was absolutely right. The journalists present had forgotten the definition of news and had lost the most basic requirements of journalism for the sake of sensational news!

At this moment, the group of female students from Seoul National University who were following Park Jihao collectively cheered with excitement. Even some male students expressed their approval of Park Jihao's words, as news should be truthful and accurate. However, the entertainment media had long forgotten these principles, fabricating stories based on images and rumors, all for the sake of higher ratings, completely ignoring the basic ethical standards of journalism.

Park Jihao's words left nearly a hundred journalists present speechless, and the sense of satisfaction and relief was palpable. All the students present could not help but applaud vigorously. Then, one student shouted, "Senior, you're awesome!"

Suddenly, the four words "Senior, you're awesome!" echoed in the air above Seoul National University, and the Korean media, who had intended to force Park Jihao to give a response, quietly left. It was time for them to reflect on their actions.

.......................................

In the evening, the three major Korean TV stations chose to remain silent and did not report on the interview with Park Jihao. Only some smaller cable TV stations and online media continued to defame Park Jihao. However, at this moment, Park Jihao's "brothers" finally began to speak up!

At 20:13 PM, Park Myung-soo was the first to support Park Jihao on his Twitter: "My younger brother Park Jihao, you are the most talented songwriter I have ever met. It is my greatest honor to be your brother. I entrust my songs to you!"

After Park Myung-soo made his stance clear, soon after, Jung Jun-ho, Roh Hong-je, and JI collectively expressed their support for Park Jihao. DSP Media also quickly announced on their official website that they would continue to ask Park Jihao to write the lead single for Kara's next album, in support of Park Jihao.

This deeply moved Park Jihao. He realized what it felt like to be taken care of. Looking at the warm words from these "brothers," Park Jihao couldn't help but smile.

Soon, Lim Yoon-ae and Jun Bo-ram also called to express their concern. They were not in a position to publicly support Park Jihao, as their companies would not agree. However, Kang Ji-young supported Park Jihao on her Twitter: "Oppa Jihao, you are always the person I admire the most!" Kang Ji-young's message on Twitter left Park Jihao speechless, and he was truly grateful.

At the same time, the fans of Seoul National University began to track the IP addresses of those who were spreading rumors about Park Jihao online. Once they found the culprits, they immediately reported them to the police. Several people were arrested, and it turned out that they were also students at Seoul National University. They had spread false accusations about Park Jihao because they were jealous of his popularity among female students. They expressed shame and regret.

Soon, the Seoul police provided statements from these students, causing a stir online. Support and belief in Park Jihao quickly dominated the internet!

However, these were not things that Park Jihao needed to worry about. Since he knew that 2PM was targeting him, he needed to prepare for a counterattack. Knowing one's enemy and oneself ensures victory in a hundred battles. Now, Park Jihao needed to thoroughly understand 2PM, their habits, preferences, and past. He needed to know everything clearly to effectively counterattack.

Of course, if the opponent were an ordinary person and there were no internet, this would be very difficult for Park Jihao and would take a long time. However, unfortunately, it is the 21st century, the age of the internet.

After more than an hour of searching, Park Jihao found a piece of information that surprised him. Looking at the text from four years ago, Park Jihao was at a loss for words. He could almost see the disintegration of 2PM.
