Park first appeared through MNET’s Hot Blood, a documentary-style reality program that showed the future members of idol groups 2AM and 2PM in training, with Park finishing at the top spot with the most fan votes, and as 2PM’s leader. On September 4, 2008, 2PM debuted with their song “10 Point Out of 10 Points” (10점 만점에 10점) on music program M! Countdown after the release of their first mini-album Hottest Time of the Day a few days prior. However, it was their promotions for “Again and Again” that catapulted the group’s status in Korean music, and earned them first place awards for a capped 3 successive weeks in music programs, SBS’s Inkigayo and Mnet’s M! Countdown in May of 2009.
On September 4, 2009, unfavorable comments towards Korea were found on Park’s personal Myspace account from 2005. The comments, written in English to a friend, were misinterpreted and mistranslated by Korean media, quickly spreading across hundreds of news articles. In what has been termed a show of “explosive nationalism”, netizens displayed overwhelming rage over the posts with many demanding for his expulsion from Korea and a petition signed by three thousand calling for his suicide. Park expressed deep remorse and shame over his past, forgotten words and issued an official apology. Despite this, on February 25, 2010, JYPE announced that they had permanently terminated Park’s contract with collective agreement among the other 6 members of 2PM.
On March 15, 2010, Park created his own YouTube channel, where he decided to revitalize his career and began uploading cover songs for his fans and officially marked his return to music after a long hiatus.
Since then, he has gone solo and has had activies both in America and South Korea, so far releasing three singles and two albums; the latest being “Take A Deeper Look “.
Jay Park has also starred in the movie “Hype Nation” and the upcoming “Mr. Idol”.

박재범 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Have a seat
Listen
Whoa oh, yeah
할말 있어 좀 더 가까이 와봐
너무 오래 참았어 미칠 것 같아
특별한 밤이라서 난 솔직할게
두 눈을 마주보면서
자기라고 불러줘
니가 내 시간을 멈춰줘
Promise you won't let me go
떨어지지 말자고 오늘밤만이라도
Let's go (ah ah)
Just let me love you, love you
Touch you, touch you
Please you, please you
Tease you, tease you
오늘밤 넌 나의 girl
넌 내가 원하는 거
아무것도 필요 없어
Just you, just you, you, you
All I want is you, you, you
원하는 건 you, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
난 정말 행복할거야 tonight
내 여자가 돼줄래
오늘 밤 내가 널 책임질게
겁내지 말고 눈을 꼭 감아봐
니 입술에 내 입술을 느껴봐
약속할게 baby 너도 원할거야
나만 믿어봐 come on, baby
따라와 눈을 마주 보면서
자기라고 불러줘
니가 내 시간을 멈춰줘
Promise you won't let me go

The lyrics of "Don't Let Go" by 박재범 (Jay Park) depict a moment of vulnerability and honesty between two individuals. The singer expresses a strong desire to communicate something important, urging the listener to come closer and listen attentively. They confess that they have been holding onto their thoughts for a long time and feel like they might go crazy if they don't say them. The night is presented as special, providing a suitable atmosphere for the singer to open up and make their confession. They promise to be sincere and confess their feelings fully, addressing the listener with endearment, asking them to call them honey and implying that their presence has the power to stop time.
The main message of the song seems to be about cherishing the present moment and not letting go of the opportunity for love and connection. The chorus emphasizes this sentiment, as the singer asks the listener not to let go, even just for this one night. They express a deep desire to love, touch, please, and tease the listener, asserting that they are their girl for the night. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and a plea for reciprocation, as the singer states that the listener is exactly what they want and that they will be truly happy tonight if they become their lover. The bridge reaffirms this desire for exclusivity and intimacy, with the singer reassuring the listener that they will love them just the way they want. The repetition of the line "Just the way you want it" emphasizes the importance of meeting their partner's desires and creating a fulfilling relationship.
