Former DAY6 Member Jae Apologizes To Jamie After A Derogatory Remark

Jae had called his former labelmate Jamie an offensive word.

“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.”

The apology addressed his inappropriate remarks against Jamie during a live stream from which he pointed out that he can now finally say because he “got out of Kpop.”

The video recording that circulated on the internet sees Jae asking, “Why is Jamie trying to be a thot?” This term refers to a woman who has had a lot of sexual encounters or relationships. Jae clarified in his apology that he thought the word was synonymous with the term “baddie,” however, fans are enraged that he had the face to say such things to an old friend.
