Some have stated the opinion that Jaebum is warming up for his return by entering dance competitions. These opinions stem from the fact that Jaebum would not have entered if he did not discuss it with his agency, JYP Entertainment. An associate of Jaebum stated "He entered the competition knowing that the news could reach his fans back in Korea," meaning that he was fully ready to accept the attention that would come with it.

 Recently, a cable channel has began plans to go over to America and create a reality show that reveals Jaebum's plans for return. It is said to be a secret comeback show similar to Ivy's through cable channel Mnet.

JYPE has gone into production discussion with the production team but has requested for a pause in any further advancements as Jaebum's return is still not certain or planned (through an exact date). An associate of the production team stated "JYPE is not exactly against the idea of this program. They have said that they will discuss it with us again later since Jaebum's return is not yet clear."
