Jamie Park calls out former DAY6 singer Jae for using derogatory word to describe her; latter apologises

Korean-American singer-songwriter Jae Park, a former member of South Korean band DAY6, has apologised for using a derogatory word to describe singer-songwriter, Jamie Park. The 24-year-old 'Numbers' singer called him out for his misogynistic take on her social media. Following the backlash, Jae Park posted an apology note on his Twitter account on Sunday.

The statement, released on January 9, read, "I wanted to make an apology to Jamie and everyone about what I said. It was most definitely a comment made in poor taste and I feel terrible for making Jamie feel the way she does. What I thought was friendly banter I now realize wasn't. In no way was I referencing any kind of physical behavior or energy (trying to take a slight at Jamie) but rather the aura of what people refer to as a "baddie" and thought the two were synonymous, however, I do understand that this is in no way an excuse for my comment. My sincerest apologies to Jamie as well as to everyone who was hurt by it."
