Jay Park s lyrics in MUKBANG! remix
Following the criticism and backlash, Jay Park released an initial apology on May 27 KST - which has since then been deleted - explaining how the lyrics were never meant to be offensive or disrespectful and apologized. He added that fans are out of pocket for accusing him of dragging a religion and being racist, and told fans to stop with the false narratives. He ended his apology by saying that to him, it was just lyrics, while it was serious to some.
However, he received further criticism and backlash for his apology. On May 28, KST, Jay Park released a second apology on his Twitter account after fans had educated and explained to him why his lyrics were problematic and offensive.
