Former DAY6 member Jay (Park Jae-hyung) revealed his scars from his activities in Korea.
Jay recently left a comment on social media about a video featuring unpopular K-pop idols. In response to a part of the video mentioning the struggles of unpopular members, he said, "That was me in Korea."
He emphasized, "It was difficult even to go to fan events. During the second comeback, I was instructed by producers not to say anything. At every fan event, I constantly felt like 'I'm not a part of this.'"
"It took quite a while to get used to it, but I eventually adapted," he revealed. "I received love from overseas fans and a few Korean fans, and I was very grateful for that. I still remember those people and our warm, albeit brief, conversations," he expressed his gratitude.
Jay was selected as a trainee under JYP Entertainment after appearing on the first season of the SBS audition program "K-pop Star" in 2011. He debuted as DAY6 five years later in 2016 but left the group in 2021 after five years of activities.
The reason for his departure was "personal circumstances." However, it was later revealed that Jay had experienced significant psychological instability during his time with DAY6, leading to a temporary halt of group activities, which drew sympathy. In fact, after leaving DAY6, Jay stated through an SNS live broadcast, "I can't endure it anymore. I've developed panic disorder."
