JYP Entertainment Responds To DAY6 Jae’s Complaints About Unfair Treatment
On June 29, DAY6‘s Jae called out JYP Entertainment for not giving him equal treatment. In a series of tweets, he asked why the agency is promoting Young K‘s solo activities but not his.
Jae also revealed that JYP Entertainment forced him to discontinue his JaeSix YouTube channel that he had to “beg” to open.
유툽도 저는 온간욕 다 먹어가면서 눈치보면서, 빌면서 겨우 허락받고, 혼자서 다하고, 결국 “회사사람을이 좋게보지않다”라는 의견으로jaesix 접게됐는데 왜 다른 맴버는 매니저분들이 스캐줄표도 만들어주고 회사가 콘태츠 비용도 도와주고 회사직원분들의 도음을 받으면서 좋게 좋게 할수있는거죠?

On YouTube too, it was all me, doing the work alone for JaeSix. The company said things about it, and I had to beg for permission to do it. Even after all of that, they said ‘people within the company don’t approve of it’ and so I had to stop it. Why do the other members get their content expenses covered, management for their schedules, and help from the staff?

On June 30, JYP Entertainment announced their official position on the matter, stating that the “misunderstanding” has been resolved.
We have resolved the misunderstanding between the company and the members through dialogue. We will be careful and try to prevent this from happening in the future.

Jae has also released a follow-up statement, apologizing to My Days for causing them to worry.

I just talked to my agency again, and it seems like there was a lot of misunderstanding. I want to apologize personally through this post for causing you worry. What I wanted to express was a personal issue between me and my agency, and it has nothing to do with the other members. I didn’t think that part through. I apologize to our My Days for causing you worry with my short-sightedness.

Although the matter is resolved for Jae, fans are now demanding fair treatment for all JYP Entertainment artists who have had similar experiences.
