Jae! Thank you for never give up. I'm proud of you, and let's walk and make memories together!!!

[@dianarahmawati1466]

Thanks for having Jae, Seventeen.. And im So so proud of you, park jaehyung-Jae-eaJ. You've done your best so far. And thank you for appreciating all musicians. Oh and I see many people feel very happy because when they singing/cover songs, you give appreciation in their comments. Just a small way, but make them excited to make music again.

[@hi_gigi5247]

I've seen him from his pre-debut as a KZbin singer to his audition and up to date. He grew beautifully and stayed talented while improving. I'm so proud of him! Thanks Seventeen for interviewing eaJ, this is so interesting!! Looking forward to more of this soon!! 💕💕

[@belindaamelia8627]

This might be a proof why i stay with him bc i can feel his sincerity to be real and wanting to be a good person 🍀

[@naomi-dn2kn]

jae's so passionate i could just listen to him talk about music for hours on end

[@superlyobsessed]

Love the interview format and questions, thank you Seventeen! And ofc all love for Jae, was missing him a little bit :') Always love listening to him talk about life and music 💜 Also I know he doesn't care about how he looks but still hoping for a non-beanie interview for the next one 🥲

Bruh I loved this video! It's amazing to see how things change with time.

[@mikediocrity]

Es bonito ver como ha cambiado Jae a lo largo de los años. No lo conozco ni de cerca desde sus inicios, lo conocí como en 2017-2018, pero siempre ha sido una persona muy interesantes y últimamente, cuando muestra sus colores reales, me hace sentir aún más feliz de stanearlo. Espero que todos puedan respetarlo como artista y se den un momento para escuchar sus geniales canciones, porque son una JOYA

[@hey_oin]

Hi, Jae. Thank you for never giving up on your music/as singer/as an artist/as human, thank you for never giving up on EVERYTHING. We all make mistakes, have struggles or even regret things in our past but we learn from that, and try not to make them again, right ? 😀 Thank you for always trying to be better, you shouldn't have to be sorry that's enough & stop thinking that you are a problem coz you are not. Let's walk & learn together as Jae & Jars (lol) to be better person & find the best version of us. Pls remember that you are not alone, we got your back & will support you till the very end 😊 Also thank you so much Seventeen for having Jae ❤

[@riyaaa4925]

You are always my Jae 💜

[@1_albina_1]

Джэ, ты пример для меня. Я знаю тебя не очень давно (чуть больше 2 лет и лично виделись - спасибо за те потрясающие 2 часа в моей жизни), но стэнить я начала тебя за твою честность (да, по началу я старалась не обращать внимания на то, какой ты красивый). Потом узнавая тебя лучше, ты мне нравился больше и больше. Сейчас ты мой самый любимый музыкант, но я не могу сказать определенно: я тебя люблю за музыку или твоя музыка мне нравится потому что именно ты её автор. Возможно мы вместе взрослеем, но многие вещи о которых ты говоришь откликаются и во мне. Кажется ты меня очень хорошо понимаешь и иногда это сбивает с толку и я перехожу границы. За это я приношу свои искренние извинения! Надеюсь ты поймёшь меня и я тоже, возможно, с твоей помощью, стану лучше. Но изменения не могут прийти в один миг, они постепенны. И я рада, что я вижу какие то моменты твоего "взросления" - когда ты понимаешь важные для себя вещи. Иногда хочется делится и мне своим опытом, но я к сожалению не могу. Я очень рада что знакома с тобой и горжусь быть твоей поклонницей. Да, я остаюсь на твоей стороне. PS. извини, что пишу не на английском, но так я точно могу передать то, что на самом деле имею в виду без недопонимания

[@user-nw4ti6ol2q]

Love he talks my greatest artist

HE MY KINGGG

[@katherineling7283]

thanks seventeen for having eaJ 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@heh4199]

There’s this aussie artist named Guy Sebastian and he believes that music should either make you want to move, or move you and I think both of these things are what makes a great artist. It goes along with what Jae was saying, differentiating between artists and singers, as artists truely believe what they’re singing. I’ve always favoured emotion over technicality because there are so many technically perfect voices out there but not all of them can really connect with the listener on that more emotional level.

[@user-pc6sh3uw8e]

love him sm but can’t believe he’s not a part of day6 anymore :(

[@brenna730]

Hopefully they get back together when they all get discharged

[@tamalam]

It's always so good to see how Jae's mentality and thoughts have changed and are changing. Always growing! That's why we love him.

[@GenF91]

Thanks for having him on Seventeen

[@DarKXDemon]

Why the name change?

[@royalgalice]

Cause he’s a solo artist now and he goes by eaJ instead :)

[@user-mj7ok3vu2j]

He already started eaJ (and he says the name “eaJ” is “Jae” backwards, so he’s going back to his roots) back in 2020 as a side project to find what kind of music he wanted to do (felt a little lost) so eaJ is his side of him that he wants to show as a soloist. It’s not really new but yeah definitely check out Car Crash! Anyways I may not have explained it the best so if anyone wants to add please do!

[@royalgalice]

@@user-mj7ok3vu2j this is great! i got to lazy to type the whole thing but it pretty much sums it up lol
