Jay Park Addresses Controversy with Cryptic Social Media Post: "I'll Just Mind My Business"

Singer Jay Park has shared his current state of mind through a meaningful social media post following the controversy surrounding his performance at a breast cancer awareness campaign event.

On the 15th, Jay Park posted on his personal social media account, "I just mind my business, try to do cool shit with cool ppl, and live life productively. gratitude." The message is interpreted as a subtle response to the criticism and malicious comments he has faced recently.

Accompanying the post were several photos showcasing his busy life, including moments during schedule travels, relaxing at home, working out, and selfies with members of LNGSHOT (Long Shot), the rookie boy group he launched.

The controversy erupted last month when Jay Park performed his hit song 'MOMMAE' at a post-event gathering for the 20th Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. The song, known for its provocative lyrics and explicit content, was criticized as inappropriate for an event aimed at raising awareness for breast cancer patients, citing a lack of TPO (Time, Place, Occasion).

W Korea, the organizer of the event, initially uploaded the performance video to their social media but deleted it due to an influx of critical comments, such as "It seems like mocking cancer patients" and "A song choice that completely misunderstands the event's purpose."

A day after the controversy, Jay Park apologized on his social media, stating, "I performed as usual for those gathered with good intentions after the official campaign event concluded. I apologize if cancer patients felt uncomfortable." He added, "I performed with good intentions even while injured and without compensation. Please do not misuse my good intentions."

Despite his explanation, online opinions remained divided, with some defending his intent while others criticized him for not being more considerate of the event's theme. Now, with his post about focusing on his work, fans and netizens are offering support, leaving comments like "It's unfortunate that you're facing consecutive setbacks," "I hope you recover well, both physically and mentally… stay strong," and "I wish you a speedy recovery," aiming to comfort him.

Netizens expressed concern, commenting, "It's sad to see you face one issue after another," and "I hope you recover well, both in body and mind… stay strong." Many fans also left supportive messages like "Don't be too hurt by this incident," and "We're cheering for you."
