In 2022, fans of the popular K-pop band DAY6 were left in shock when singer Jae announced his departure from the group and JYP Entertainment.

Despite initial sadness over his exit, supporters have rallied behind Jae as he pursues a solo career in the United States.

Since his departure, Jae has maintained a respectful silence regarding the specifics of his decision and his relationship with former bandmates.

Most fans have respected his privacy, choosing not to press for details.

However, there have been instances where Jae has faced questions that some feel cross the line of respect.

During a recent interview, Jae was asked about his current relationship with the members of DAY6. While he responded politely, many fans voiced their displeasure at the perceived rudeness of the question.

💬 fans are very curious about it because back in 2022, there was a tweet from you giving your former bandmate support. so are you still contact with the members?

Despite the band's latest EP release titled "Fourever," which many hoped would signify closure on the matter, questions persist.

At this point I really feel bad for him. Sadly, we don't know what happened there and never will, but it's none of our business being like this. It's not funny anymore. As he said, I feel like it's time to move on. https://t.co/A4EBB3Ez30

no but, can they just stop asking something like that? Even tho i miss OT5 i would never say something like that UNDER HIS PERSONAL ACC. It's his personal acc y'all... You can miss OT5, but keep it for yourself. Also it's already obvious that they'll be as 4, and he'll be solo. https://t.co/UHgb9o9HAc

Yeah it made me feel a type of way. I never said anything and I think that’s why it hurt a bit more than anyone else. Hoping this is the closure we need for that dark period. I’ll be cheering from here ❤️

I feel so relieved that you said what was in your head. So, I wanted to hug you and say, "You did it right." But it seems like I'm the one who needs a hug, because now I'm crying.
Jae, let's look ahead. There's a lot of love and happiness there for you.🫂
