Updated June 30 KST:

Later on the evening of June 30, Jae posted on Twitter again to apologize and share an update after speaking with the agency.

He wrote:

After talking with the company again, I think there have been a lot of misunderstandings. I want to say that I’m sorry for causing you concern with my post. And what I wanted to express was a personal problem between the company and myself, it’s completely unrelated to the members, and I never even thought that it was. I apologize for worrying My Day by not thinking it through.

DAY6’s Jae has publicly opened up about the lack of support he is feeling from his agency JYP Entertainment and in-house label Studio J, which manages the band.

On June 29, Jae responded to an update posted from the official DAY6 Twitter account sharing content about a fellow member by saying, “Why don’t you repost my Dive stuff?” This was in reference to the fact that the content that was shared was from Dive Studios, which also hosts a podcast by Jae titled “How Did I Get Here?”

On June 30, Jae elaborated on his frustrations towards his label as he stated, “Even if we’re just talking about recent activities, I have my podcast, ‘HWAITING‘ on Facebook, and my collaboration with 88rising, but why do you never post about the activities that I do?”

최근만 들어서 파드케스트도 있었고 , 패이스북 화이팅한것도 있었고, 88rising 이랑 한 콜라보도 있었는데 왜 제가 하는 활동들은 항상 안올려주시죠? https://t.co/bkzs5DlONL

He continued to state, “For YouTube, I was barely able to get permission [to open a channel] after begging for one, even as I was reproached and felt like I was walking on eggshells. I did everything by myself but ended up having to put an end to ‘jaesix’ because I was told, ‘People at the company don’t view it favorably.’ But why is a different member able to happily do that with the managers creating a schedule, and the company providing funds for content, as well as other help?”

유툽도 저는 온간욕 다 먹어가면서 눈치보면서, 빌면서 겨우 허락받고, 혼자서 다하고, 결국 “회사사람을이 좋게보지않다”라는 의견으로jaesix 접게됐는데 왜 다른 맴버는 매니저분들이 스캐줄표도 만들어주고 회사가 콘태츠 비용도 도와주고 회사직원분들의 도음을 받으면서 좋게 좋게 할수있는거죠?

Since May 10, DAY6 has temporarily suspended team activities to allow the members to focus on their mental health. Since then, the members have mostly been taking time off to rest, and Jae shared an update in May about his status.
