He praised BTS’s “historic” achievements, mentioning their record-breaking, and also gave them “extra cool points” for supporting his song “Yacht”.

He followed up this tweet with a comparison between Korean hip hop to hip hop under the umbrella of K-Pop. He feels that K-Pop hip hop “does not have the most authentic image”.
When it comes to hip hop though “kpop” does not have the most authentic image and thats just the truth. So me trying to make things happn in that field and also being asian ive come across some difficulties was my point in the interview

This K-Hip Hop star and BTS are both historic in their own ways, in their own genres. “All very different lanes, but all historic none the less,” he said. Jay Park also mentioned Parasite director Bong Joon Ho, who recently made history at the Oscars.
What bts has done for kpop what jay park has done for k hip hop what bong jun ho director has done for the korean film industry….. all very different lanes but all historic none the less and if u disagree u just a hater 🤷♂️
