In an interview with chosunbiz, Jay Park mentioned his previous group, 2PM, indicating that he is drifting away from them.

When asked by a reporter whether Jay Park still keeps in touch with 2PM members, Jay Park replied, "We are developing in different directions now, so we have no chance to contact, and we can't."

Then he said affectionately, "Although I can't get in touch, I know that they are doing well and are very happy. They seem to be developing better than when I was here. They are really great. They have always been my favorite friends. "

Jay Park debuted as the captain of idol group 2pm in 2008. In 2009, she had to quit the team because of her comments on her personal website. And publicly apologized to the former brokerage companies JYP and 2PM.

Later, Jay Park published an apology article on his official website, saying, "I can't describe my apologies to 2PM and JYP. I am very embarrassed. " JYP accepted Jay Park's apology and sent an official document to the Korean Federation of Popular Culture and Art Industries, demanding that the punishment for Jay Park's TV performances be reduced.

After leaving JYP and 2PM under great public pressure and controversy, Jay Park said: "I gave up everything and just prepared to live my life, but I think the media fire made things dramatic. I really want to leave the spotlight and return to the life of ordinary people. In this way, I can live with peace of mind, exercise and participate in street dance competitions. "
