On His Recent Twitch Controversy: DAY6 Jae Promises To Be Better

Day6 member Jae has been busy with his solo ventures while on hiatus. Currently, he is a regular podcast host with soloist AleXa for DIVE Studios' "How Did I Get Here?" The Day6 singer is also active in doing gaming livestreams on the popular platform Twitch.

However, recently, Jae made headlines after a controversial clip of his Twitch live stream was met with intense backlash from Korean netizens. In the clip in question, Jae can be heard saying "This guy, he's my sugar daddy... just look away."

Korean netizens slam Day6 Jae for his improper remarks saying with some saying, "Those dirty actions and jokes are worse than actual curse words. Just say f**k or s**t next time, it's better than sugar daddy."

After the incident, Jae defended himself explaining that the incident was an issue of cultural difference. The idol also explained that as a bilingual, he has experienced misunderstanding and miscommunication due to problematic Korean translations. Such action, however, received more criticism prompting Jae to release an official apology. 

"I deeply apologize to those who were hurt by my actions. I will work harder to show a better version of myself," Jae tweeted using his official Twitter account.

Two days after, Jae tweeted another apology. This time much longer and in both Korean and English. 

Here's the English version of Day6 Jae's apology:

As of this writing, Day6 Jae's agency, JYP Entertainment has yet to release an official statement.
