Jamie and Jae Park set aside differences after the former DAY6 member personally apologizes

South Korean singer Jamie, a.k.a. Jimin Park, once again addresses former DAY6 member Jae Park's inappropriate comments.

In one of his live streams, Jae called his former JYP Label mate a ‘thot.’ After his statement, the rapper received immense backlash from the K-Pop community around the world, with many calling his misogynist comment out.

In the clip, which started making rounds on social media almost immediately, Park can be seen saying:

"Okay, now that I'm not in K-Pop anymore, I can say this. Why Jamie trying to be a thot." He then proceeded to claim that he thought "thot" was the same as "baddie," but the Internet did not buy his excuse."

Incidentally, both idols have been friends for a long time, and the rapper has even made an appearance on her YouTube channel.

After receiving backlash, Park publicly apologized to the singer and to his fans who were offended by his language. Park said,

"In no way was I referencing any kind of physical behavior or energy, but rather the aura of what people refer to as a 'baddie' and thought the two were synonymous."
