"Rather Than Musical Output, For the Passion for Music"... Jay Park Speaks on Retirement

He mentioned the meaning of retirement as a state of not being overly concerned with the business aspects, expressing his will to return to the passion and love for music.

Reunion After 7 Years and World Tour Schedule

Through the video description, Jay Park shared his feelings about meeting fans again. Mentioning that it has been 7 years since he last saw his fans, he added that while many things have changed, his energy remains unrivaled. He also expressed his intention to make up for the time he could not spend with fans. This tour will consist of 24 performances in a total of 23 cities, including Latin America, North America, and Europe.

Tour with Longshot and Future Activities

There was also mention of future collaborations with the group Longshot, who are touring together.
