DAY6's Jae Apologizes For Comment He Made About Jamie

DAY6’s Jae has apologized for a comment he recently made about former JYP Entertainment labelmate Jamie.

On January 9, he posted the following statement in English on Twitter, tagging Jamie’s Twitter account as well. He apologized to Jamie as well as those who were hurt by the comment. He acknowledged that the comment had been in poor taste and that he had misjudged the word he had used as being synonymous with “baddie” but recognized that this was “no way an excuse for my comment.”

The comment in question was made during a live broadcast, where he said, “Now that I’m not in K-pop anymore, I can say this. Why is Jamie trying to be a th*t?” He added that he was friends with Jamie.

Jamie later found out about the comment and expressed her displeasure and disappointment in now-deleted tweets. Her only tweets referencing the issue now is one in which she reassures fans she’s fine and another where she says, “I hate that we as women have to be subjected to men’s humor to appease incels on the internet.”

I'm just deleting it, I'm okay
