Jae Park Apologies To Jamie For “Thot” Comments

"I feel terrible for making Jamie feel the way she does..."

Former Day6 member Jae Park has apologised to Jamie following derogatory comments.

Jae Park took a step back from Day6 last year, and since then has spent time communicating with fans through online streams.

Hosting a Twitch stream, Jae Park's attentions turned to Jamie, saying: “Now that I’m not in K-pop anymore, I can say this. Why is Jamie trying to be a thot?”

Inviting fans to ask the singer this question, he then added: “You’re posting this kind of picture with these kind of poses – that makes me believe that you are perfectly described under that description of what I just said”.

Jamie hit back, critiquing the way women are treated – both online and in the music industry. She wrote:

In a note, Jae Park then rolled back his comments, addressing his words “to Jamie and everyone about what I said…”

“It was most definitely a comment made in poor taste and I feel terrible for making Jamie feel the way she does,” he wrote. “What I thought was friendly banter I now realise wasn’t.”

“In no way was I referencing any kind of physical behavior or energy (trying to take a slight at Jamie) but rather the aura of what people refer to as a ‘baddie’ and thought the two were synonymous, however I do understand that this is in no way an excuse for my comment. My sincerest apologies to Jamie as well as to everyone who was hurt by it.”
