On June 25, a community post, titled, "Looks Like Ex-DAY6 Member Jae Is Still In Touch With Them", caught the attention of netizens and My Days. According to the post, the author uploaded a clip of Indonesian outlet IDN Times' interview with Jae.
The interviewer recalled Jae's surprising tweet reply voicing support for his former DAY6 bandmates in December 2022. During that time, Jae stated:
"DAY6 will be on top of the world someday, I firmly believe this. Though we are apart, please support them and don't regret it later!"
Following this, the interviewer mentioned that fans were curious regarding the tweet, and asked Jae if he was still in touch with the members. Jae replied that they would text each other back "once in a blue moon." The soloist then followed with words of support for the band.
Interviewer:"Fans are very curious about it because back in 2022, there was a tweet from you giving your former bandmates support. So, are you still in contact with the members?"
Jae:"Once in a blue moon, yeah, we'll send a text back, and I'll get a text and I'll send them back, but honestly, I wish the best of them, and I just hope them well."

K-netz were relieved by Jae's update members and stated how delightful it was seeing him still acquainted despite his departure from the band.
"That's right, they didn't part ways because they fought, so of course, they'd still be in contact."
"It's not like they've only spent a day or two together."
"Ah what a relief, seriously, what a relief."
"That's right, there's no reason for them to not contact each other anymore."
"They probably just split because they wanted to head to different paths."
"It's not like they fought and broke, so there's no reason for them to not contact each other."
"I just entered Day6's fandom, what happened?"
While some were happy with the news, others rolled their eyes over the interview, and considered the question as disrespectful and inappropriate. The clip also reached social media platform X (Twitter), where fans expressed outrage.
"I'm just dumbfounded at this, I don't have any lingering feelings towards that member, but at that time, he was so stressed, so what's up with the comments asking whether he'll come back?"
straight up disrespectful and unappreciative for the hard work he has built over the years and the line he has drawn very clearly before. do better @IDNTimeshttps://t.co/wS5YlHEDPN
I don't think this question was appropriate to ask. It's an invasion of privacy and it's clear that Jae wants everyone to move on. https://t.co/iWQ3s2e7UU
I think all of us should move on and stop making awkward situations like this. The guys were/are close enough to be in contact and supporting each other. But right now, four of them are focusing on group things and the other one in solo things. Let's ask them abt it instead. https://t.co/4xPB4bQD6u

It wasn’t an appropriate question to ask, it felt too personal. I think we should let him talk about it if he wants and feels comfortable enough to. Still, I’m glad such busy guys still keep contact. 😭 https://t.co/L8islcWffX

who of his solo stans is curious about his relationship with his ex-band members? it's been 3 years since he left, theres a lot more you could ask. he is more than someone who used to be in that band. thats a personal question anyway, let it be a private matter for them, smh 🤦🏻♀️ https://t.co/fDp70Tictb
I know we are all curious and it's heartwarming to hear his answer but we should move on. Stop asking him questions like this and respect Jae & Day6's privacy https://t.co/q4Iwl4T8EE
