Jae vocals are such an important part of Day6s OG songs. You can never forget Jae. Not with those vocals !!! In songs like " You were Beautiful", "" Congratulations", "Letting Go"" etc. No one can take that away. Not even JYP, cuz they recorded those vocals.

[@M-ez9uy]

“love me or leave me” is my favorite. Jae’s vocals are so irreplaceable in that song. And “zombie” too!

[@chyglassend3623]

As a fan of their songs I just hope that both of them will be successful in their respective paths

[@moonlightbae_]

I feel like we all make mistakes, he seems really genuine and remorseful for his past actions.

[@aatishshrestha673]

felt like a therapy, nice for jae to open up

[@reikot77]

Jae’s music is great, he’s talented, and I’m actually happy now that I can appreciate his talent to the fullest. Day6 on the other hand, they’re doing well too, a lot more of idol promotion activities going on, and they’re super successful especially in Korea. One day, maybe in 10 years or so, I hope they’re be able to perform again as Day6 + eaJ … because I know Jae loves Day6.

[@nurulizza7283]

yes jae, I'M GLAD YOU SPEAK AND OPEN UP

[@monomana1032]

Jaesix and eaJ was actually good for the band, the "issues" during his time w the band were only villainized by ppl. i get why ppl would hate him after being in the band, but idk why he gets hate while in the band

[@abc-l3v]

There may be nostalgia in the past, but Jae has already been a soloist in the US for more than three years and is making music that reflects his own color 100%, and you will see once you hear that it is too far from Day6 music now. It is desirable that Jae officially denied the rumor in this interview, and since Jae's musical career began with Day6, the interviewer is naturally asking what could be the interviewee's story, and you can feel that Jae's comments were made quite carefully and with a lot of thought. Day6 and eaj have already changed their musical consumers, so they can leave the past years as a page in their 20s and do their own music in their respective places.

[@jimmy282d]

Really miss Jae as day6😢😢😢

[@butterfly_waltz]

Alot of things happened, I just hope that Jae and DAY6 could keep soearing high. There's always regrets and disappoinments. Like he have said, I also hoped he handled it well before: level-headed and doesn't let his pride and anger clouded his judgement. But well, it all happened for a reason. Sadly, regrets always come after you only learned

[@DaisyzDayz]

It does feel a bit weird listening to Day6 songs without Jae’s voice in them now. I still love Day6 but their sound doesn’t sound as powerful anymore. Jae brought allot to their sound and I don’t know if they realize that. I feel so bad that Jae feels like he’s a burden, sadly, that’s just how the Korean industry world is. Not too many mixed Asians last in that industry if you’ve noticed. They always end up departing. I mean look at Jessica from SNSD, same thing. It was major. I also can’t wrap my head around the fact that Jae admitted JYP never wanted Day6 to be known in America ???? I mean why??? I feel like most of their fan base is out of Korea 🤔. Is it because they don’t want to spend money to promote them anywhere but Korea? Or do they think they’ll get tainted by a foreign audience??? I mean WHAT?!?!? EDIT: Well I do remember Jae admitting that the majority of the money the band made was used to promote Twice instead of the money actually going back to them. Maybe that’s why. I hope it’s not the same if it’s true. If it’s true then the band deserves better. Regardless I’m happy Jae is doing better, he deserves it.

[@ViewportPlaythrough]

i didnt want to say it first, but after some new songs after the band's rearrangement, jae's new songs feels and sounds more "day6" to me than the new songs day6 released with ot4. totally personal opinion, and im not diminishing the ot4's efforts, i know its a hot take and poor taste, but it is what it is on my own opinion.

[@umaimipoko]

Totally agreed

[@earth2kira]

it's been bizarre to see the reaction on twitter. i don't want to sound like i'm pushing the "cancel culture!!1!" narrative, because i believe many people just want accountability, and i don't really think most people ever get actually "cancelled" anyways lmfao. but speaking as someone who has been a myday since 2017 and was very upset with jae when all his shit went down... it has been making me feel crazy to watch people who either 1) have never been much of a fan of day6, knowing nothing about their history or 2) only watched a couple 2-minute clips on twitter make him out to be: - clout-chasing: he is on his own tour rn doing press. he didn't ask to be asked about day6, and he has mentioned feeling sorry for bringing drama in interviews and other situations prior to this one. this isn't a one-off thing that was timed to happen while day6 happened to achieve massive charting success. this was filmed in advance! i saw that he had just arrived in korea when this dropped - having a pity party: he repeatedly clarified that he didn't feel erased by the band members themselves, and that it was moreso the company and fans/gp erasing his contributions. he worked hard to promote them, of course he'd feel some type of way. he also actually had a very balanced take on the fourever thing- his gut reaction was sadness, which would be natural given how much time he spent in the band, but he ultimately understood the reason why and still wished them well and showed them a lot of love. he was asked hard questions and chose to answer them candidly. - having a total lack of self-awareness: i have checked back in on him over the years bc i am nosy lol, but also bc i always hope for people to grow. and from watching other interviews, i have seen that he has repeatedly acknowledged that wounds were fresh and he expressed his feelings in a way that was volatile and hurtful to others. he seems very aware that his actions had consequences and that he made his own bed in some aspects. he has taken a lot of accountability as more time has passed and he even rejects some of the excuses zach throws out; jae was Not young when he was on that downward spiral! immature, certainly. but young... no. this interview doesn't have to warm you back up to him, a Lot of shit was said and it's understandable to just not feel the same way as you once did. hell, *i* even don't! but i Do see more of the guy i initially became a fan of, and i feel optimistic about that. the disingenuousness by claiming he only wants clout or that he even "left the group because he wanted to be a twitch streamer" is really irking me. there's way, way more nuance that the conversation surrounding his exit requires. we've got to be more objective here. i am glad to see introspection and (consistent!) accountability from him, and i wish him well on his journey to bettering himself and healing

[@ddhika7332]

I just hope this is the last time he talk about day6 this long, not because I thought he's clout chasing or something, but just because many people especially day6 fans are tired to talk about this thing over again.. Theres a reason why in kpop industry they really careful talking about other artis/group even though they are friends, cause they will always some "fight" from the fans of the idol..

[@khesyamaraon478]

🙁 Spending over - almost a decade in a band. Especially since he was very passionate about it, you won't suddenly stop talking about it. I mean - he wrote many of their songs and was really aiming for their success. But he was let down, I remember an article about him telling JYP as to why they're not properly promoted. I think it pains him a lot until now. Well, that's just how I see it tho..

[@FinzaFirdian]

Finally someone with a brain!

[@mouna4492]

Jae you own it. You deserve the respect day6 gains. I know its hard and you feel regret. I got to discover day6 because of you. I loved day6s songs because of your voice. Hang in there Jae. We love you

[@Linalool-ipossum]

this is...sad. I'm not a huge kpop fan today but I really love day6 music, I've been a myday for a long time nd Jae leavin day6 gave me a kinda empty feeling but I'm glad he left a toxic environment, I'm not on social media but i hear he's been actively hated on, but i hope he gets out of all that negativity and just finds peace

[@mayamagination]

I hope Jae finds peace. I do think it was a culture clash cause a lot of his actions during Day6 was rather selfish. Although its a shame he left, it was for the best of the band.

[@mouna4492]

I feel like crying.

[@naviaenconciertosderock]

Estoy llorando 😭😭😭... Jae tu nunca serás borrado de la historia!!.. más bien me gustaría que te incluyas a esta nueva historia de Day6 😭😭😭 (mi gran sueño de fan desesperada)... Todos cometemos errores lo importante es arrepentirse y trabajar en ello!!.. 😭😭 Se te quiere mucho!!...

[@yymmas]

i wasnt expecting to cry today 😭

[@gildasr1144]

I felt that way when I left my past job

[@neobongzzz]

Sobbed

[@ikowg]

I miss Jae's guitar on Day6 songs man

[@eganazriela1525]

Eaj❤

[@dreambigandhigh]

Jae 🥺

[@yongkey2908]

Most Day6 song, Jae was take to Lead Vocal.

[@umaimipoko]

I really miss Jae being in Day6. Ngl i kinda stop listening to new Day6 songs cuz Jae is not in the band anymore… i can’t even listen to them perform old songs live like Jae’s parts were only meant to be his part. his voice really brings a lot into songs

[@hvcb270]

He himself stated that his departure from day6 is temporarily but he won't be back at jype anymore.

[@neobongzzz]

Well yeah but given the fact that their first EP after his departure is called FOUREVER I truly doubt that

[@Hailz01Gamming]

Its funny/kinda weird that Jae physically can't say JYP or Day6

[@Obentenbenten]

This is so sad bro

[@asangma0343]

All these years he acted like he didn't belong to day6 ,, now why?! Because day6 getting success without him

[@lunekyh]

i'm pretty sure it's because some people hated him so much that they didn't want him to associate with the band at all... any time he's mentioned them it's been nothing but praise

[@theaolivia6989]

​@@lunekyh yeah but in one of his old live, he said, if the fans talk about day6, he will block them.. Meaning he doesn't wanna be associated with the after leaving the group, after 3 years? Why now? Why when Day6 blow up

[@adamtuano1599]

If you guys even watched the entire thing, he mentions at the end is that he hates being mentioned with the name of DAY6, because he hates being a burden on them. Anytime anyone thinks of Jae with DAY6 its all just negativity and people start "going away" from the band because of his "image." So don't even dare think that Jae hates DAY6 - those are literally his boys and he still keeps contact with them lmao.

[@dreambigandhigh]

@@asangma0343 you’re an example of why Jae never talked about Day6 again

[@kangbagas2744]

Are you myday?? Or just some Flying monkey?

[@earprg]

I was a big fan of Jae, even his solo work. Jae YOU left the band. I thought you were just taking some time off to clear your head maybe fix your mental health....Then BAM, you bounced.I am a BIG fan of Day6 (since debut) I am an adult and I was sooo afraid this would mean the end of the band! I am sooo glad the FOUR members are still putting out the great music the MYDAY are used to. Kinda selfish of Jae to do this while Day 6 are promoting the new album. This is about THEM not Jae.

[@superstringer3263]

"I am an adult" you say. Then you should act like one instead of talking the way you do. Clearly you didn't even listen to what was said in the video. Jae clearly stated his issue wasn't with the members, it's with the label. He's also on an interview answering questions that he is being asked. You say you're an adult but clearly don't talk like one with your childish comment.

[@DaisyzDayz]

Sis please be respectful. I’m pretty sure it was a mutual decision. They really can’t make moves without having many meetings. In the kpop world nothing is as colorful as it seems. I’ve been a fan of Korean music since I was 10, I’m now 24. I’ve seen so many idols go in and out of groups and trust me, 90% of the time it’s the companies fault. Jae literally said the company treated them like shit and prioritized the main groups over them. They also never got to see allot of their paycheck and never got to live a life. In order to be an idol of any kind they need to be completely conservative and silent. As Jae said in the video, “in America people are taught to rebel” in Korea idols are taught to obey and be one. He just wasn’t used to it because it’s not how he grew up. He wanted to be free. It took a strain on his health. It happens with so many mixed Korean celebrities because they’re more open minded. Just like you they are human. I’m glad Jae left the band. He’s doing better. As a “fan” wouldn’t you be happy for him? Even if wasn’t ideal for many fans it was for him. He’s not making anything about the band. He’s simply finally speaking his truth without the pressure that was put on him.

[@earprg]

@@DaisyzDayz Oh “Sis” I am being respectful, since you do not know me, I will ask the same of you. I am addressing the FACT in the interview. I was NOT giving hate or being disrespectful or even sarcastic. I would actually love for Jae to come back and join the guys…but I DO NOT pretend to know any of them or what they want in their careers. I have been a fan of Korean music and culture since before 2pm debuted…So, sis I do understand the strain that is put on their health. I ALSO listened to Jae’s vlogs and streams before he left and I could tell that he was having a hard time.. I was thrilled when he was laughing and making his music and “seemed” happy for a while. I am just saying MAYBE, THIS WAS NOT THE TIME to talk about the band on talk shows, podcasts or live interviews. Do NOT QUESTION if I am a fan or not, I am a fan, I am NOT a mindless sheep who doesn’t have an opinion.

[@earprg]

@@superstringer3263 clearly YOU CANNOT read.. I did not say Jae had problem with ANYONE, let alone his band members. I really have no idea why I’m even explaining this to YOU, but you can be asked pleanty of things in an interview, HOW you answer is what I was addressing. Do not try to make me out to be someone who didn’t know his issues… I watched his streams and KZbin.. I was WELL AWARE even before this interview.

[@DaisyzDayz]

@@earprg I’ll leave it at this, if you are a respectful fan you wouldn’t be upset he’s talking about Day6. It is part of him. Wouldn’t you be glad he’s finally addressing it or is he banned? He is allowed to speak about it whenever he wants. He had experience in the band no matter what and it is a big part of him regardless of how many people shame him. The comment you responded to me with and the one you originally posted both have different tones. One has hate and the other has sympathy so pick one. I understand you’re upset he left the band. It goes to show it impacted you badly. Which is okay, you’re allowed to feel, I was a bit down to but it’s in the past now and nothing is going to change. Sure a future reunion is what we want but it seems it will not happen any time soon. The best thing to do is live at let go and enjoy all of the members now that they’re still around and making music and they haven’t offed themselves yet because that’s common form all the hate they get. No one wants that. What I don’t like is that some people don’t realize these types of comments is one of the things that leads to that. If you know the kpop world is a harsh environment then why add on? Instead of spreading hate why not just keep supporting from a distance? I think it’s what the idols appreciate the most. I think it’s what they deserve the most. Once again.. kpop idols are human to. Day6 is also his and its all the fans to but it’s not only yours. Please do not respond to me. Thank you.
