DAY6 member Jae Park leaves JYP Entertainment


DAY6 member Jae Park has left his agency JYP Entertainment.

According to a Soompi report,  JYP Entertainment confirmed Jae's departure on Saturday.

"Jae, who has been a member of DAY6 until now, left the team as of December 31, 2021, and his contract was terminated," the agency said in a statement. "We exchanged deep conversations with Jae for a long time, and following careful discussion, we decided to respect the artist’s opinion and conclude our exclusive contract."

"We sincerely apologize for causing concern with sudden news to My Day, who shows much support for DAY6," it added.

Prior to leaving the group, Jae announced on his Twitter account that he would be taking a break from group activities.

"For the past six years, I have been really happy, and made memories that will last forever in my heart. I’ve had a lot of thoughts and put in a lot of work, but I am still lacking in too many areas for me to stay where I am now," he said.

 

 

"After discussions with the agency, I am sorry to tell you that I have arrived at the decision to take a break from DAY6 activities for now," he added. "I will cherish the memories of sweating and running together, crying and rejoicing together, from the past six years, and return having grown!"

Jae debuted as a DAY6 member in 2015. He has since then been part of its hit singles such as "You Were Beautiful" and "Shoot Me." —Kaela Malig/JCB, GMA News
