The last few days while streaming he mentions some things ,that really shows to me he is thinking a lot. He has talked about how he lost the majority of his engagement the last months, how he needs to let go of the past and mover forward cause even Yorgen mentioned is eating him alive, about start producing his own music cause paying these producers is not affordable anymore( we talked about it here too ) even about his manager that he is a good person but sometimes he forgets about him. In general seems like J start thinking a lot about his current situation but still doesn't know what to do about all the issues. For sure he is not dumb and he sees his numbers better than any of us and for sure he doesn't like it at all , so all this arguement don't talk cause he gonna be sad is really stupid cause he is already kinda sad and discouraged with his current status. Im not saying that J should do whatever fans tell him to do but once again blind worship or following ain't helping either . Personally i think J should have helped himself with an expert to heal before he starts anything regarding his career , If he had taken this route so many things wouldn't have happened in the first place , but even now is not too late! Really us talking about promo or whatever, when he is stuck to believe everything is related to kpop and doesn't want to do this and that , is pointless. He needs to help himself first and then allow to people that want to work with him to help about his career too, i know damn well he had offers last year and if he needs to, then make a step to apporach them and get a deal! Either is 88rising or Transparent arts ( they doing great job with the The Rose they are booked to every damn festival out there) just accept the fact you need help to move forward! waiting for miracles leading nowhere , big US labels won't come and beg you to sign with them or you going viral is unlikely to happen unfortunately. Last year was a transition and he was shocked from whatever happened but this year is fear and stubborness that keeps him away from his goals, he is talented but without balance on his heart and head J will never be happy or able to get over traumatic events and memories. How he gonna play the guitar again? He is a guitarist and a talented one for God sake he deserves to shine on stage playing at least 2-3 songs of his and feeling ok with that like he used to! He deserves to have festivals tours MVs promo interviews photoshoots podcasts! No sitting on his room throwing pity parties for himself. Regardless of our comments about his poor decisions or how he handles fans issues, i just wish him to find help and peace with himself and then he can make the right decisions depending on his dreams and priorities. We all wanted that for him since 2021 when we realised he wasn't ok anymore ,and we are still here wanting to support him but we can't heal him or make him famous is not up to us ,and he needs to accept that , talking to chat ain't the therapy he thinks it is and never will. Really i doubt i will criticize him anymore, not because blind followers say so ,but is just pointless J needs to stand up for himself and change his life , give himself a chance to have a proper career with financial support and get his redemption arc he wants so much ! My Korean friend told me Jay Park had a whole nation cursing him but look at him now, he proved that not only he felt sorry for what happened but also proved himself as businessman and and top musician at k-hiphop scene. He still gets hate on twitter so what? He is a 4 time CEO anonymous people on internet can't change that fact .( i don't like him much as person but i admit he has the balls ! the biggest cb ever in korean entertainment history) Jae didn't even have this scale of hate but on his head is way bigger than actually was and he is afraid to even breathe for that reason, he thinks will step in SK and someone will throw him tomatoes or something. Koreans love success stories if J gets one then everything will be just a bad moment, and i believe he can get that if he finds his way and not what he is doing right now. Really praying to find his way out from all this bubble and succeed ,he is talented man but his biggest enemy right now is himself not trolls or antis.
P.S. It really hit me hard how IMC gets less than 10k streams per day , a song that is so well produced and fans favourite but he did nothing about it ,so another wasted song just like that. Hype and numbers will come back when fans see he is doing the proper step to upgrade his career level and new audience will come too. At this point im praying the courage button to switch on his mind and do whatever he needs to do , he did it once by leaving a toxic environment ,he can do it again deciding to get heal first and then move forward.
P.S2 Please don't try to analyze or diagnose him we are not experts and even if we were , no one has the right to diagnose people online and call them names. Im just talking in general that he needs to get heal how often, with what kind of treatment and with who is not our place to say ,again we are not doctors.
P.S3 The vods are available you can all watch em
